Abstract
The Information Technology (IT) industry involves complex projects, changing requirements, and geographically dispersed teams, making efficient project management crucial for organisational success. To manage these challenges, IT organisations widely adopt digital project management tools that support planning, coordination, execution, and monitoring of project activities. This study provides a comparative analysis of commonly used project management tools in IT companies, such as Jira, Trello, Asana, Microsoft Project, and monday.com. The research is based on primary data collected through a structured questionnaire from 40 professionals working in IT and project-based environments. Using a descriptive research design and percentage analysis, the study examines tool usage, user satisfaction, perceived effectiveness, and implementation challenges. The findings indicate that Agile-based and cloud-enabled tools like Jira and Trello are preferred due to their flexibility, ease of use, and collaboration capabilities. In contrast, traditional tools such as Microsoft Project are appreciated for their advanced scheduling and reporting features but are often considered complex by users. The study concludes that the effectiveness of project management tools largely depends on organisational needs, project methodology, and team size rather than the number of features available.
