After 10 years of pain. The sweet delight I got from deleting Jira. Better than squashing any bug.

A glorious day that must be

Curious, what did you replace Jira with?

📌

@jestdotty For our project mgmt, we use Jira, Azure DevOps, and a heavily customized SharePoint list with over 160 fields. Example: 'IS Actual Hours', 'IS Initial Hours' with field names for every dept in the company and the field names have spaces.

@PaperTrail it’s a shame you don’t simply use Azure Devops boards rather than Jira.

No kidding. We've secretly used Trello for years before moving to Azure DevOps (still not as good as Trello).

My only problem with Azure DevOps is it may give our users way too much insight into our code. It's political enough, I can't imagine trying to explain to a VP..

VP: "This gobbledygook, I don't understand it. Get it out of our system"

Us: "Its a regular expression, sir"

VP: "Don't care what it is. If it's not making us money, we don't need it. Another thing, I want to override this feature. Put one of them conditions allowing me, and only me, to do it"

Us: "Sir, you can already execute that feature since you are a VP. Permissions are set at the active directory level"

VP: "I don't know what you said and I don't see my name. Put my name in there. Only I should be able to execute that feature!"
