Jira verdict
Still the right answer for large, process-heavy organisations. For teams under a hundred engineers the configurability is a cost, not a feature.
- Models any process you can define
- Deepest marketplace and integration ecosystem
- Enterprise governance and audit capability
Trello verdict
Ideal for small, self-contained workflows. Plan to migrate once you need dependencies or cross-team reporting.
- Immediate to learn with no training required
- Generous free tier
- Butler automation is genuinely capable
