There are numerous freemium tools to help you stay organised.
We pay a little for Jira and we use a free versions of YouTrack and Trello .

Source Control
It's important to keep track of the various versions of your source code, and we pay a little for GitHub which offers the distributed-version control and source code–management functionality of Git, plus its own features.
Performance Monitoring
It's important to monitor the productivity of your servers, databases, tools, and services. You want to be able to quickly figure out whether things are going abnormally in any of your subsystems. For example, when ingesting data from a website, you want to know quickly if the data provider has changed the format of the file containing the data, or the website containing the file / data. We use Datadog and we have a whole stack for it in our Rancher production.
Worker Monitoring
We use Flower to monitor our Celery Worker. It monitors both (i) the productivity of (scheduled) tasks and (ii) errors (failures and exceptions).
Exception Monitoring
We use Sentry to monitor for errors (failures and exceptions).
Continuous Integration, Delivery and Deployment
We use Jenkins (continuous integration server software), Docker for continuous deployment, and Rancher (1.6) to run and manage ("to orchestrate") Docker containers.
Jira
Jira is a software application used for issue tracking and project management.
So in general is a complex system, with convenient features of Github integration.

these:
