Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of selected tools dedicated to project management: Asana, Trello, Wrike, Monday.com and Bitrix24. The aim of the work is to answer the research question: which project management tool is the most appropriate for members of development teams using classic and agile methodologies. Popular methods for analyzing the quality of interfaces have been reviewed. The research was carried out using the survey method conducted among users using project management tools and cognitive walkthrough - a method used to assess the usability of application and website interfaces.
