Not enough, IMO. It still feels like something from 10 years ago. How do you even make something this slow these days?
Their strong points:
+ Solid super customizable issue tracking model that supports everything
Their weak points:
- UX (so much clutter by default)
- Performance (both client- and server-side - everything feels "heavy" now that we are used to facebook/google-style ajax apps that are "instant")
- Its design invites to what I like to call "bug tetris" - where people spend more time juggling/triaging/refining/classifying/validating/etc tasks than working on the product or whatever they are supposed to deliver.
- bbarn 11y agoIt's also pretty much the best of the worst, when it comes to something big enough to deal with > 50 employees and software development. Trello is cute, but fails after about 10 contributors, and locks you into it's rather simplistic mode. Basecamp has crickets on it's servers these days. Rally is enjoying it's fat stacks of CA cash, and still sucking :) None of it's good. Project management can't be put into a box easily, but it isn't Jira that made them rich, it's Jira + confluence + hipchat + integration for your org. When dumping jira means decoupling all that documentation and it's fancy links.. you keep paying the jira bill, and keep adding subscribers. They've essentially mastered vendor lock in for companies making software.
