Jira is the worst project manager software, except for all the others - Churchill

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I would take literally anything above Service Now.

After being forced to use Azure DevOps instead of JIRA... I wish I had JIRA back...

[–] hactar42@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I don't care what M$ says, Azure DevOps is being left for dead. As someone who worked on the System Center space for years, I know the signs of a product they want to kill but can't. I'm convinced the only reason it is still around is because some internal teams haven't moved to GitHub yet.

Confluence is implied as being part of the lower parts of the pyramid yeah?

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 9 points 6 days ago

Confluence, the place where you do a bunch of documentation and then later forget you wrote it or can't find it anymore and have to rewrite it all in a separate Confluence folder only to repeat it all later?

My team at work has several different team docs folders ranging from severely outdated to new but soon to be outdated

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

God, confluence is so fukcing dogshit.

I wish it wasn't. Ideally having a central knowledge base for your project with all sorts of features sounds amazing.

Then you get confluence, where loading a si gle page somehow takes 7 seconds, and your documentation is split among dozens of pages each if which take equally as long or longer to load.

Folders take like 3-4 seconds to unfold and reveal what documents are inside.

It's such a piece of shit

Remember open source wikis? Twiki?

They were much better. More functional, faster, intuitive.

Corporates got rid of those and Atlassian got rich

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I dont get confluence. It just looks like a group of github readmes

[–] bignose@programming.dev 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Except worse: Confluence tries insanely hard to prevent anyone actually getting at the document source code. So you are expected to use the godawful interactive web editor to make any changes.

I'm convinced that Jira is difficult on purpose to sell more consultancy and gold partnerships and trainers

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

No consultancy can ever make Jira fast. It’s incredible that it takes several seconds just to open a motherfucking goddamn issue.

I swear all their SQL is select * from *;

As a person who has designed several enterprise data models, I would like to personally congratulate the entire middle school class that belched up Atlassian's

My previous job was tech support for multiple companies. One of our clients was using Salesforce. Another client used Jira.

A handful of clients were using their own Teams to which I had to connect or run using Citrix and Pulse Secure/Ivanti. Sometimes I had to juggle between three or four Teams.

I'm so glad I quit. I can only hope my next employer won't use Teams, but I won't hold my breath.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Teams now has a multi-account feature, whoch really changes things

[–] Trail@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Nah it sucks. You don't get a fucking notification when someone messages you on a different organization. For fuck's sake.

I feel like my company pays me well just to deal with all the crappy software we have to use. Teams, Jira, Salesforce, ServiceNow, it's quite the shitsym.

[–] majster@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I actually like Jira. I have my own workflow where I fetch my tickets via Emacs to Orgmode and then work from there. Integration is read-only but that is what I need 99% of the time.

What's a good alternative to Jira?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

Goose farming

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 6 days ago (5 children)

GitHub tickets are fine.

Jira is complicated because PMs want it to do everything. It can, but there's no good reason for it.

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago
