Super suggestions in this thread. For the sake of transparency we do a few things: 1. Staff can report problems or make feature requests through a ticketing system we built that's baked into our WordPress network. 2. I personally use Trello for our scrum, with literally the scrum for Trello FF/Chrome add-ons and a burn-down chart. It's public if you're looking for a little inspiration. https://trello.com/b/5wflMskO/sherman-library 3. We use issues in Github. This is helpful for our staff because the commit includes the issue number so others can see exactly what's been fixed, when, and how.

I am using Asana. It is easy to get the hang of, has a lot of features, and the free version is fully functional. Works well for lightweight task lists and (still testing but it seems like) also heavier project planning/dependency type task lists.

I've worked with both JIRA and Redmine. For a small team, I think Redmine is a little easier to get going with (and free), but JIRA is very customizable (but can take a decent amount of initial time setting it up). Both have the capability of grabbing issues via email, so in both cases when I worked with them, staff could fill out a form (on the intranet), which would send information formatted a certain way (based on the form inputs) so that they are automatically added to the relevant project and such. Not sure about the scheduling part. I know you can set a "due date", which could serve as a reminder.
