The best way to use Jira (or any business software) is to adapt your processes to use it the way the company that developed it intended. Too many times, we buy a product and start customizing it before we start using it. The key is that, theoretically, the producing company researched best-practices in their field and tried to deliver a product that would meet those needs without modification.
I've been involved with two Jira installations that started with heavy customization. One was rolled back to the default Jira after 18 months and the other ultimately resulted in Jira being replaced by something else (which is now failing because they started that project with customization too).
Use the product for a year or two, learn its workflow and only then tweak the customization to suit your organization. And then do even that slowly. You'll thank me!
- repostack 9y agoThat sounds like the smartest play. I suppose I just want to build something and this seemed pretty cool and possibly useful. I'll invest more time in Jira and try to follow its philosophy. If it's still not working for me in a few months time I'll see what tweaks can be made. Thanks.
