Task or small project help
I'm looking for ideas for maintaining my IT team's tasks and projects. We have project online along with our Office365 subscription. I think project is overkill for tracking our small projects and tasks. I was thinking of creating something in SharePoint or using small cloud based task systems.
Anyone have any recommendations?

You might want to choose something commonly used by Agile teams for tracking projects. Here are two I've used.

I preferred Pivotal Tracker. It has more of a Mac-friendly feel. Jira was more opaque and complex. How you set them up has a great deal to do with whether you will be successful getting people to use them effectively. There is no shortage of opinions about which is "best."

If I were starting today, I would choose Pivotal Tracker for record-keeping and Slack for team communications. Add a daily scrum and segregate your work into sprints, according to Agile, and you'll never go back to whatever you're doing now!
