How to schedule tasks and coordinate tasks when developing a project on nodejs?

Question

Node.js

We have a startup. 4 people in one city (designer in another), we only rarely meet to discuss anything. Supervisor. Me (backend and co-founder). Frontend and designer. We wrote a presentation version in 2 months (it could have been in a month, but there were a lot of organizational problems from the lack of a designer, a frontend .... ) a presentation version. We go to companies, we negotiate. We are ready to cooperate. But we need to finalize the HTTP API and make small changes to the architecture. To make contracts. And only then afford to hire employees.
In general, time is running out, the faster the better ... everything is on fire.
Previously, we planned tasks by stupidly opening a document in Google for general editing. And it's okay in general. Now the manager offers to put a jira project manager. The question is, will it give a win in development? Is it really possible to use agile in project managers or will this extra bureaucracy start up?
Well, the manager does not understand how the project architecture actually works, but wants to control everything. He wants to set tasks, but how will he set them if he does not understand the architecture?))) He tries to set tasks in 50%, based purely on the aesthetics of the frontend. Well, I really set the tasks myself - 70% of the tasks. Because everything revolves around architecture.

Answer 1

It's not clear what NodeJS has to do with it.
Jira is a good option. And especially within the framework of this problem, "the leader does not cut the chip." He starts a project / epic / task, as you like, like "you need to add such and such a feature." An already technically savvy friend links sub-tasks with ratings, comments, attachments, etc. to it.
We get the opportunity to manage tasks and the uncle from above always sees clearly how the work is going.
In general, I have not yet met a project where the team regretted that they had embarked on a jira or something
