@beyondmachines1 big ideas start on napkins, in eye-to-eye discussions, or as crazy prototypes.
Then someone turns them into a gazillion Jira tickets. Random people implement tasks. You're lucky if anyone still remembers the big picture. You get bogged down in bureaucracy, but you have a "burn down" to tell you that you're still making progress. By the end of the week there are 83 new tickets but nobody knows how they all add together to a meaningful whole... yay, Jira!
@beyondmachines1 I don't get the hate for Jira. It's a perfectly reasonable piece of issue-tracking software that absolutely gets in the way most of the time but we put up with it because who can be bothered to replace it...
Oh...
@beyondmachines1 @sbi I saw the original on the shit bird site and don't know who to credit but:
Therapist: What do we do when we are feeling overwhelmed?
Me: Create a JIRA ticket
Therapist: no
