JIRA is heavyweight, but I've never been remotely satisfied with any of the competitors. If your team is more than 5 people or you have multiple teams, you're absolute going to need all that sophistication from JIRA. If you ask me what's the worst piece of software I use every day today, it's Asana.

This just isn't true. We have a bunch of teams, all on Jira, and none of the inter-team coordination happens via Jira, mostly because One Size Fits Nobody. We're not using much that's Jira-specific for the intra-team stuff either.

Can you give more detail? I've been on larger, successful teams without JIRA, and every time JIRA was introduced it was a net-negative for real productivity.
