I'm building a web app in a small team of two people - 1 dev & 1 product owner. I can't decide how to capture tasks and I'm wondering whether anyone has experience of doing similar who can make a recommendation.
Should I bother to use a formal project management tool such as JIRA (this is readily available, cost isn't the issue), or should I continue to use a less formal approach such as spreadsheet?
If anyone is able to recommend an approach, I'd be interested to hear what sorts of pros and cons support your preferred choice. Of course there are advantages to being in such a small team, whilst the development is relatively simpler than what can be supported with a larger team, I'm eager not to squander the advantage of being small by adding in unnecessary red-tape.
