Looking for an accessible project management system (self.Blind)
submitted by lknop
Hi there, does anyone know about an accessible project management system. I've used trello before, but I don't think it's sufficient.

I've heard good things about Github, and Bitbucket seemed okay the last time I used them. What are you wanting it to accomplish? Perhaps your best option is something self-hosted.

Thanks for your reply. I think github is meant for managing code. I'm looking for a general project management tool that manages tasks in various project stages (e.g. backlog, to do, doing, done). I need to be able to share tasks with other participants, attach documents and use labels. Trello has all these features but isn't screenreader accessible. The best bet is to use the iOS app with voice over, but it's still very limited. Besides that, it would be better to have something I can use on my laptop because I have to upload documents. That's why I would like to know if there are any screenreader accessible alternatives. I hope that makes sense.

/u/lknop Did you ever find a good project management software for the Blind? I'm looking into that now, as well. So far, it looks like Asana might fit the bill. $1and accessibility was built in as of Sept 2017.

It has iOS VoiceOver Support. I'm not sure how it does with screen readers, however.

Thanks so much for this!
I'm going to kick off a new post since three years have passed since you mentioned Asana for project management, and maybe there are other alternatives.

GitLab is worth looking into for self-hosted project management and version control.
I don't know about screen reader support, but it responds well enough to display scaling and zooming.
