Hi Steve,

no, not really…

Right now I’m using only Trello. Seems sufficient.

Hi, Have you ever used proofhub for managing your projects? It is also light web based collaborative project management tool.

I have used BootStrapToday, and found it quite easy to use for high end developers. BootStrapToday brings intelligence and integration into the Application Lifecycle Management/Software Development Life Cycle Management and made my team highly productive.
It has helped me to detect software bugs early and maintain code quality at the same time reducing project cost significantly and improving management ease and clarity. Let us benefit from the tool at http://zfer.us/AeiG9.
Do share your comments on this.

Hi I would like to recommend you to visit the Workforcetrack.com which has lots of business tools such as CRM, PM, HRMS and many others but the best part is that they have android and iPhone apps, so you may control and manage everything even being out

Oh! Nice posting. I think to manage all client interactions, document sharing, discussions about quotes, etc this must be another incredible tool http://www.teamplifier.com/

Hi again!
Atlassian seems to be very powerful framework, but I’ve been looking after for something more condensed and centralized. So I’ve spotted out Podio. Maybe it’ll be up&running in a cuple of days: https://podio.com/.

Just to let you know, since it’s a new startup project.
Greetings!

Flowr is much more expensive for our use. We need what flowr calls “External feed import (RSS, twitter, slideshare…)”, which is a Premium feature, and thus only available starting at 49$ / month – while Flowdock offers that feature for 19$ / month. Another premium feature – “Custom views / filters” – may be what I’m already used to in Flowdock (filtering all messages containing URLs or attached files). Evidently, Flowr may excel at some other functionalities, but for now Flowdock is a winner for us.

Thanks for your suggestions, though – wider view never hurts.

Regarding an integrated framework: have you tried Atlassian’s family of tools? Jira, GreenHopper, Confluence? I haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but they definitely look … very integrated

Great tools collection. Have you also tried Flowr? It’s very similar to Flowdock and I’ve been using it for a while, as a brainstorming tool. It has a powerful integration with Google Apps. Nice feature if you plan to use a Git repo like Google Code and a development platform based on Google Cloud.

I’m looking for an integrated framework (obviously the perfection of a full-featured and open-source suite is still to come) with the basic features you’ve listed at the beginning of your article. I’ll stay on Trac by now.
Let’s see what would be next.

Thanks for your update, I’ll keep following this page!

Thanks, Gio!

We have settled for now on pivotal tracker + github + flowdock (I’ve updated the post with these, and also with teambox experience).

I’ve been using Trac for a while, but that is mostly an issue tracker – even with the tracBurndown plugin (which provides a burndown chart). We are currently using github – which also has issue tracking and wiki, and also a workflow for code reviews (by doing pull requests). I think we’ll stick to github for now, even though I’ll keep using Trac for one of my personal projects.

Really useful review.
Perhaps something like ComindWork (http://www.comindwork.com/Features) is what you’re looking for, but I have to admit that it’s not easy to find something like that in the open source underground.

]project-open[ does a great job, though it makes use of several complex modules (like Finance, C&KM, ecc.) that may require a time-consuming configuration.
Have you ever tried Trac?
