We are a mid-size team working on technical projects and need better visibility into task tracking, ownership, and reporting.

Our requirements include:

• Task assignment and progress tracking

• Role-based access control

• Reporting/dashboard capabilities

• Support for agile workflows (optional but preferred)

What criteria should we evaluate when selecting a project management tool?

Are there specific technical factors (scalability, integrations, hosting model, API support, etc.) we should prioritize?
