I'm on the hunt again for accessible project management and ticket tracking software. Those of you in software development or "agile" development will likely already have strong opinions on the subject, especially if you've been frustrated by lack of accessibility.

If software used by my team isn't accessible enough, we're going to dump that software soon in favor of software that works well for all of us: blind, DeafBlind, low vision, color blind, sighted, and so on.

**Asana** is a package I'm considering anew. I don't know how well its public commitment to accessibility matches up with the implementation.

I'm interested in feedback from r/Blind members with experience in any of the following:

* engineering, software development, and/or agile development
* task coordination between blind and sighted folks
* a need or interest in coordinating complex, long-term projects, even if just for yourself

My needs for accessible project management software include the following:

1. Ticket / issue tracking that can be organized in sprints.
2. Easy access to past tickets.
3. Wiki for documentation
4. Good security
5. Preferably, support for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
6. Preferably, the ability to hide or remove unused features.
7. Optionally, built-in source code control.

Integrations with 3rd party apps would be okay, but not necessary.

There's no need to read further in this post unless you want some of my opinions on the subject.

I've tested and/or used two or three dozen different project management packages over the past decade or two. I prefer the ones that are conceptually simpler. In my experience, if it takes more than a few hours to learn enough about a project management software package to do useful work, then that software management package has some serious design problems that will slow down a team.

**Atlassian** is my team's current package, but it's clunky and suffers from featuritis. One new team member using a screen reader got used to Jira in less time than anyone I've seen, but she and the rest of the entire team find Atlassian just okay.

**Asana** got my attention today thanks to this r/Blind post from 2017:
$1

Asana has an accessibility statement and FAQ at the following two pages:

$1
$1


A co-founder of Asana is the child of a blind parent, as mentioned in this article from 2017:

$1 is a past favorite of mine, but it's too expensive, and its interface is even more visually oriented than others. $1 lacked proper accessibility even two years after a blind team member and I gave specific feedback to the support team about accessibility.


**ClickUp** was clunky, the last I tried it. Their hard-charging advertising is off-putting to me.

**Trello**, now available through Atlassian, is reported to be accessible, but for sighted users it makes poor use of screen space for sighted users.

Mantis, Redmine, and related packages have worked well for me in the past. However, I used those with sighted colleagues. I'm sighted myself, albeit with some vision impairments.

Individual Microsoft and Google apps are okay, but anything of theirs related to team management gets a hard pass from me. Software from other companies that allows for sign-in with Microsoft and Google credentials is fine.

Suggestions? Thoughts? Comments? Anyone out there still awake after reading this post?
