A quick way to decide which project tool fits your team.

Good practice

Jira with Confluence is very common in automotive and large companies and has a large marketplace of add-ons.
Azure DevOps combines boards, code, pipelines and tests in one product and suits Microsoft-based organizations.
If your client already uses one, use the same one to reduce friction.
Keep workflows simple: fewer statuses and fields are easier to maintain.
Plan traceability early by linking requirements, tasks, code changes and tests.
Build dashboards for the few numbers people really use.
