The Software Project Management Tools Stack: A Complete Guide for Effective Product Teams

With Jeff Francis | Founder of ENO8

We’re pulling back the curtain to share the entire software project management tools stack we use at ENO8.

As a 2x Inc. 5000 company that has built successful digital products for 200+ partners, you could say we’ve refined our tools and processes over the years. The tech stack we have now is the result of trialing development and project management tools in our own company as well as being exposed to all our clients’ systems over the years.

In this guide, we walk you through exactly what we use day to day, why we chose each tool, and how we get the most value from them.

  • Why we chose each tool for our team
  • Real cost-saving tips from our experience
  • How we integrate tools for maximum efficiency
  • Practical tips from our daily usage and
  • Our best practices for remote collaboration

How We Use Our Software Project Management Tools Stack at ENO8

The tools your software product team uses are crucial because they directly influence the efficiency, collaboration, and overall success of the product development process.

But it’s not just about WHAT tools you use.

In this video, we show you how we use each tool and when. For example, we might use the commonly known (sometimes loved, sometimes hated) tool JIRA. But how we use it (scrum vs. kanban) changes depending on where we are in the product development cycle or what kind of software project we’re doing.

We don’t just give you a broad overview of tools in this video. You can glean that from a quick Google search. Rather, we dig into specifically how we use these tools dependent on the type of project we’re doing and what stage it’s in.

Support Your Team with the Right Tool Stack

You can have the best team and if you are giving them subpar tools to work with or not teaching them how to make the most of a great tech stack, their productivity and job satisfaction will suffer. The software project may be impacted as well.

Choose your tools wisely and give your team the resources, space, and time to invest in learning how to use them to their highest effectiveness. Your software (and your team) will thank you!
