   Easy agile, made for teams

   The UI is so clean, it makes it desirable to use. Reporting is very easy to understand - without any of the complexity that comes with creating reports (like in Jira). I like that it has an opinion - it’s built around agile’s best practices. Easy to reprioritize in between sprints, and the sprint board is easy to understand so it’s great for first time agile teams.

   🏁 Competitors: Jira, Asana, Trello, Wrike, monday.com

   👍 Pros:    Sprint focused|Easy to use|Information is easily accessible|Easy integration|Unlimited users|No sign up cost|Great customer support|Automation and custom functions|Slack integration

   👎 Cons:    No mobile app atm|Occasional bugs

   More time doing stuff that actually matters

   My team has always worked adhoc on everything without properly using a project management tool. Once we adapted our workflow to Tara, it worked wonders for our organization. Tasks are easily grouped under umbrellas (Requirements, i.e. Epics in Jira) and everything is so visual that it's never painful to actually manage your tasks. Sprints make it easy to see what you need to get done this week, and we run daily standups using that view.

   Highly recommend Tara to smaller teams that just need to focus on getting stuff done.

   👍 Pros:    User friendly interface|Great set of functions

• Automatic emergency braking should become mandatory, feds say

  Just https://heyfocus.com which I must have installed through Setapp, as I don't remember paying for it. It has a scripting capability so in theory I might be able to do something to prevent it from triggering when I'm active in a form. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• I was going to quit and my coworker just put in her two weeks

  Great advice overall, but I would centralize this list in an app dashboard, e.g., Tara.ai, Azure DevOps, Jira, etc., and automate the outbound updates to the C-suite douche patrol. Source: about 2 years ago
