COMPARE PROJECT TOOL CATEGORIES IN THE MARKET
How to choose
Choosing between project management tools in the market can be daunting. To help you understand and select the best platform for your company needs, we have defined the three project tool categories.
Which category is for you?
Category #1
Task tools that look like spreadsheets
For simple projects
For people who love spreadsheets
For non-developer team members
Project tasks, not project portfolios focused
Examples: Excel, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Monday
Not Pie
Category #2
Task tools that look like kanban boards
For the coding phase of projects
Don’t plan, just do
For developer team members
Examples: Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps
Not Pie
Category #3
Process-focused with agile tools that are visual and modular
For both complex projects and portfolios
For people who love visuals
For processes and agile: hybrid needs
For all team members, managers, executives, and client stakeholders, who care about project value.
Example: Pie
