In the modern conditions of globalization and widespread digitalization, cooperation between people in virtual environments is becoming an important condition for the success of both individuals and teams. This trend is also reflected in the education industry, and in the context of a high degree of uncertainty in access to educational resources and communication tools caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or military operations on the territory of Ukraine, the need to use flexible methodologies is actualized not only in training future IT specialists. At the same time, the use of online support tools for project-based learning and Agile project management contributes to the improvement, and under certain conditions is the only way to organize, cooperate between members of dynamic teams, form students' digital competence and soft skills, and gain professional experience. Based on the results of the analysis of scientific publications, Jira, Asana and Notion were identified as the most common IT project management tools and Trello - to support project-based learning and manage Agile teams. The results of a survey conducted among 1st and 4th year students of the Faculty of Information Technology of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NULES) as part of the implementation of diagnostic measures in the study of the discipline "Group Dynamics and Communications" are the basis for determining the effectiveness of using Trello as a means of supporting student project-based learning, the importance of students gaining educational experience of online project interaction and group dynamics, as well as creating conditions for early professional self-determination of students and gaining experience in professional activities and online interaction. It has been confirmed that professional experience has the greatest influence on the choice of project-based learning support tools: students with professional experience more often choose professional tools for the implementation of educational projects.
