If it’s hurts, stop doing it : you don’t need to know everything
The best managers are great at delegation.
Micromanagement is exhausting. It’s stressful. And it creates delays and bugs because you become a black hole for ideas and improvements. You end up working longer hours. The job becomes painful.
So save yourself. Teach your team how you want feedback. Teach them what documentation makes sense. Make sure they highlight problems. And I’ll always make sure I’m available to answer questions in the stand-up, but 7 times out of 10, someone else beats me to it.
I don’t know everything, and I shouldn’t. A good manager is a catalyst for communication and generates questions to help. They’ll connect the problems with someone who can resolve them, and save some time to learn about the next problem.
Don’t be a bottleneck. Don’t be a critical path. Be a gardener and help the team grow. If it hurts, you might be strangling the team. Trust them and share the load.
Delegate, but make sure the important knowledge doesn’t go on holiday when your staff do.

If you like the idea of a free open source analytics app for #Jira, #OpenProject and #Trello I would be happy to get a thumbs up on Product Hunt. App available for Windows, Linux and Mac. Thanks!
Tomorrow #Cylenivo launches on Product Hunt. Free cycle time & lead time analytics for #Jira, #Trello and #OpenProject. Local, free, open source, no cloud.

Free desktop app to measure cycle time, lead time and throughput from Jira, Trello or OpenProject. Monte Carlo forecasts, flow efficiency, rework detection. No cloud, no account (your data stays local) Built because Jira's built-in reports don't show how long work actually takes. Cylenivo reads every status transition and computes percentiles, trends, and delivery forecasts from your real data. No story points, no velocity - just what actually happened. Free, open source. MIT + Commons Clause.
I have been so uneasy using Atlassian's Trello for quite a while now, and it's frustrating to be unable to find a good alternative that doesn't require self-hosting, that is as customisable and sleek, offers link previews, and is available for both Android and Linux (which Atlassian never bothered to develop a desktop application for anyway afaik). If you know of such a task list board manager, feel free to make me aware of it! #Trello #alternative #AskMastodon #AskFedi #TaskManagement #kanban #enshittification

Starting Aug 17, 2026, Atlassian is taking your metadata if you're not on their $$$$$ enterprise tier. If you don't pay them on the premium tier, they'll also take all of your in-app data and keep it for up to 7 years. You also need to opt out of them taking your in-app data. What's to stop them from taking your in-app data on the paid tiers when they change their minds? Think about this. 70% of software companies globally use Jira, and all your research, designs, and business context live in Confluence. When (not if) the AI coding tools improve enough, they can essentially replicate your entire product and compete against you. They can generate a client list and sell against you. Or help your competitor build what you've made, faster with your own context. What a nightmare. https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/18/atlassians_new_data_collection_policy/ h/t: @[email protected] #Atlassian #software #privacy
@reed I've tried #trello and I honestly didn't like the UI. I used #notion and it was too much for what I wanted and the app was clunky. I then used #emacs which is awesome but I wanted to be able to easily manage tasks from my phone and I couldn't find a good workflow.
#todoist is what I like using now. It can be as simple or complex as you want it to be. I really like the UI. It has good keyboard shortcuts. I highly recommend it. It has some useful AI features like breaking down a task into sub tasks. I haven't used it because it's not available on the phone app, and I rarely use the desktop app or the website. It also has this killer feature called Ramble where you can just keep talking to it and it'll create tasks. You can also take bulk actions on those tasks in the same ramble and say things like, "label all of them as work" or "set the due date to Saturday for the last task that was added". It's pretty cool.
We have an onboarding guide:
Your First Dataset from #Jira, #Trello, or #OpenProject
It shows how easy it is to get your data from those systems. Just follow these simple steps and analyze your data!
