4MayStartup online tools: Jira

If your startup is based on a software product, you must develop it and you want to do it in the best way. Besides, if you are (or have) a developers team, you will need to manage tasks, resources, code releases, etc. So, maybe a issue and project tracking like Jira could be really useful for you.

Jira is a web-application with a clean and fast interface that will become the centre of your development team. Each issue is modeled in Jira as a ticket which can be assigned to any member of the team with an associated ETA (estimated time of arrival).

This software from Atlassian has integration with control versions systems, such as SVN and Git. Jira also allows you to custom the workflow of the tickets, in order to represent better the real workflow of your business. Then, you can create many reports and analyse all the information.

Software licenses for Jira prices starts on $10 for 10 users (deploy on your server) or free if you are working on a Open Source project. You can see all pricings here.
