Best Scrum Software in 2023: 6 Applications for Agile Project Management

If you’re running a team with the Agile methodology, you’re going to need the best scrum software to keep things straight. Below we’ve put together six picks we think will work for most people, most of the time.

What Makes the Best Scrum Software?

When deciding on the best scrum tools, we wanted to have options that wouldn’t take much time to prepare. In short, we needed simple, flexible tools — preferably with a free tier too. These are the picks we came up with.

1. Jira — Our favorite scrum tool, bar none
2. Trello — Great free scrum software
3. Wrike — Old-school rules with this option
4. monday.com — A great all-rounder with scrum capability
5. Asana — The best way to track overall project progress
6. ClickUp — Invite unlimited team members for free

Though only Jira is purpose-built for the scrum framework, all others can be made scrum-ready in just a few minutes. Because of their flexibility, you can also use them for other purposes, so they’re great for hybrid teams.

There you have it, our picks for the best scrum tools for Agile teams. Our favorite is Jira, but there’s something to be said for all the other entries, too, especially Trello and Wrike. Use any of our picks the right way and there’s nothing that can get between you and a great Agile workflow.

What do you think of our list? Do you know any better Jira alternatives? Do you have any stories to share about our picks? Let us know in the comments below and, as always, thank you for reading.

   Thanks for the article. A call out, Scrum is a framework, not a methodology.
