Small Company - Team Collaboration - Help With Purchase

[Ilias]

I was looking for a tool in order to easily manage who is doing what, which projects there are, expenses and income, chat, calendar, to-do list, place to store files, ...

We're a small company and we're not a software development company but i think agile-development could be applied in other branches as well.

It's a little confusing though. A few products look similar. So which product(s) will fit my needs? Are the products integrated within each other? For example Jira & Stride?

Any help would truly be appreciated!

Hello Ilias,

Please note that Atlassian tools are built with the vision of helping agile teams work together more efficiently and productively. Our tools have integration points which give teams full traceability and transparency of work and progress. I would recommend the products [Confluence|https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence] for documentation and collaboration, [Jira Software|https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira] for planning and tracking your tasks, [Jira Service Desk|https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/service-desk/] for your IT team to provide technical support to your clients and [Bitbucket|https://bitbucket.org/product] as your git solution for a distributed version control management system. Below I'll give a more detailed description of these three products, how they work and how you and your team could use them. To make this reply a bit more readable, I'll put some bold headings to make all the information easier to digest.

Jira, for project management https://www.atlassian.com/project-management-software and task tracking, comes in two different flavors: Jira Core and Jira Software.
Jira Corehttps://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/core] provides a purpose-built experience for business teams and extends Jira’s fundamental workflow capabilities with specific templates for business teams.
Jira Software https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/jira-software is designed specifically for software teams, delivering best-in-class agile tooling, with default best practices, deep developer tool integrations, and a focused project experience for your entire team. With Jira Software you have the ability to create business projects. So if you and your team opt to use Jira Software, it also comes with features from Jira Core.
Jira Software comes with a [range of reports https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver074/reporting-921472877.html that you can use to show information about your project, versions, epics, sprints, and issues. This can be especially useful for you and your team to report to senior stakeholders on a weekly basis. If you see that you will need to provide consolidated reporting among multiple teams and that you need to gain visibility across all teams and projects, I would recommend looking into our Portfolio Management add-on, [Portfolio for Jira|https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/portfolio].

Stride https://www.stride.com is our instant messaging tool. With Stride, your teams can communicate and collaborate in one place. You'll be provided with direct chats, group messaging, voice and video calls. Teams can share files, give tasks and take decisions easily thanks to the inbuilt collaboration features. You can learn more about Stride on https://www.stride.com/how-it-works

Please check the documentation and let me know if this helps you to get a better understanding of our products.
