JIRA, when properly used, makes you more productive by forcing you to do your work in 50% of the time because it takes the other 50%.

@noah this quote should be on their testimonials page.

@eli Unfortunately, I honestly think it would help them because then project managers would get excited to know how much work other people would be doing for their benefit.

@noah That's great :). After using JIRA for many years we're finally pulling away from it (and toward Gitlab). I get along ok with JIRA but I may be alone. It won't be missed.

@jack yeah, I’m particularly sensitive to tools that seem to be built more for the benefit of managers than the people actually doing the work. Especially when there are plenty of lighter weight solutions out there. Trello, for example.

@jack I’m in the middle of evaluating some tools along the lines of Jira. Curious to know if there is something you are pulling towards

@jon We're going all-in with (self-hosted) Gitlab. Having the code, issues, merge requests, and docs all in one place has been refreshing. It's also way faster.

@noah so true. And I have yet to see management use the features they swear they must have

@fractals :)

@eli well in case they haven't ... added it here ... at least when the page change renders anyway !

@JohnPhilpin that page is awesome

@noah thankyou .. of course all I do is capture the awesomeness … it is our fellow micro bloggers / microbes / micronauts that are the awesome ones.
