  We can only hope so.

  I’ve suggested to my team a few times that we should start a new business developing “Atlassian, but good”. They’re up for it. So many of our wider business have never used “anything but Jira”, and they can’t see it for the steaming pile of shite that it is. Not just that it’s a bad tool for developers, QE, project management or customer support, but they couldn’t imagine anything that’s better in any way, or how it would look if it didn’t have so many issues.

    As a future customer, please include high quality connectors to import legacy data from Jira and Confluence. We’re going to need them. Thank you in advance.

    If you were starting a new company what would you use instead of Jira?

      Nothing, personally. Jira at our place only serves the bean counters in the programme management department. The data is a mess anyway, it just gives them the illusion is control.

      I work in a, large enterprise and most of our work is just stupid red tape satisfying processes and other teams’ rules, many of which just exist to keep those teams employed. There’s so much unnecessary work and BS going on.

        So then how would you document changes, work, etc. as is required by SOC2, PCI, SARBOX and other auditing frameworks that businesses require?

      Considering they are talking about making a replacement service, probably just GitHub/codeberg/etc and collab edit docs and discussions at the start, and then eat your own dogfood.

        Check out what microslop is doing to github. Codeberg though, that’s an option!

        I’d want better tickets for dev and bugs than github has, not sure the codeberg offering there if any

  I hope they will go down the drain. No more Jira! 🙏

      Nothing. I really hate the agile thing anyway.
