I agree about the need for successful cross-functional teams. But what happens when you have multiple cross-functional teams? Sometimes they have interactions.

But what happens when you have multiple cross-functional teams? Sometimes they have interactions. Sometimes you have management that needs some visibility into how things are going.
- wpietri 9y agoI agree those are issues, but I've not actually seen Jira solve them. With or without Jira, cross-team coordination issues mainly get solved by teams talking. I've definitely never seen Jira solve a management visibility problem. Even if a team uses Jira fully, and even if the work is properly represented in Jira, and even if it's represented in a way that's more about the business need than the technological process, Jira is still a system for reporting on output, not outcome. Just last week I was talking with an executive whose teams use Jira, but he still has little idea how things are going. He really wants it, but Jira's not satisfying that need. I doubt it can.
