Github's Jira is similar to project's board view, but it's easier to use and better for short runs. I use it for quick projects called "sprints."

Kanban boards let you see how jobs are moving and keep track of sprint progress. I can use conditional formatting to make jobs that are past due stand out. The teams bot sends out sprint reports right away.

There are no native story points in the free sample, so you'll have to pay for full agile.

Quick sprints are kept up by project boards for agile teams.
