I’d add that software project management is also about handling the uncertainty that comes with development. The SDLC provides the structure, but things like changing requirements, technical dependencies, resource constraints, and communication between developers and stakeholders can have just as much impact on the outcome.

Tools such as Jira, Linear, or GitHub Projects can work well for development-focused teams, while something like Celoxis can be useful when the team also needs broader resource, schedule, dependency, and project-level visibility.

The important part is that the process and the tool should support the way the development team actually works, rather than adding unnecessary overhead.
