Any good tips for online tools to plan and track work as a team?

You could try Trello

As well as Trello, we've used Pivotal Tracker for some year long projects.

Have you tried Notion?
It is very powerful for multiple use-cases

I'd recommend looking at Nextcloud. It's flexible (lots of plugin extras to extend functionality), does the Kanban/Trello thing along with calendars, file storage, etc. And its open source, so you can be investing in a co-op like Webarchitects (who provide hosting and support for it) rather than putting your money into a Silicon Valley monster. https://www.webarchitects.coop https://nextcloud.com

I'd second next cloud,

also Catalyst offer it as a service - hosting etc.

For on-line collaborative planning I'd use Jam Boards or Miro. For managing the work, some sort of workflow management KANBAN tool like Trello is ideal. I tend to use GANTT charts too. I can share a google sheet version. Slack or Mattermost good for team communications too.

Google 😖 are about to move into this space big time with "Tables" - alternative to Trello/Airtable but with more functionality. Currently only available if you use VPN to pretend you're in the US.

Thanks for all these recommendations. We have used Trello, but we seem to have ended up with loomio and docs on google drive with spreadsheets keeping track of workplans. I'll look more at some of the other platforms mentioned.

Nextcloud has loads of nice functionality, but each different provider runs different setups. Eg. There are different collaborative document (like Google docs) services which can be included. Nextcloud Deck is the Nextcloud kanban (like Trello) tool, but I don't think its available from all Nextcloud providers.

If you're current workflow heavily uses Google Docs maybe Cryptpad would be useful for you? There's been a constant addition of tools there - including spreadsheets and a kanban tool.

You can use it via https://cryptpad.fr alternatively some of the Chaos Computer Club folks run an instance over at https://pads.c3w.at/

Also Disroot run a experimental / test instance https://disroot.org/en/#services

Nextcloud does the job - but I must admit that we use Asana in our co-op and I really love it (as much as you can love project management software anyway). It is quite expensive though (but the functionality is amazing) and it is proprietary - which is a risk as it becomes embedded in our processes (what if they sell up, or go out of business etc.)
