No one size fits all and there's no ideal. Choice is necessary.
There are some universals though. Fast. I hate waiting 10s for page loads in Jira or anything really, if I'm searching for something.
Good data export. Jira is very good with this. You can get XML with all the information, IDs, relationships between things, comments, etc in a single call.
With this I can create a tool personalized for my particular use of the issue tracker, and only go to the issue tracker's website for non-routine tasks.
- alangibson 8y agoTotally agree on Jira's speed. Watching it creep toward a fully rendered page is what got me thinking about this. I also find customization to be way more trouble than it should be. You basically have to hack it to add a template to the description field.
- brayhite 8y agoOur team has been pondering a move from Github’s issue tracking and projects to JIRA, and taking a peak at it has given me similar impressions; incredibly powerful but ultimately too large of an app for its own good. The paid integrations are also a frustrating reality to live with.
- alangibson 8y agoIt's really capable, but you can feel it getting ready to collapse under its own weight. Same goes for Confluence.
- iamdeedubs 8y agoYeah the customization options on JIRA kill me. I have an old joke I always reference when I join a new team > When your team grows to 25 devs, its an almost certainty that at any point of the day, one of them is adjusting a JIRA workflow - https://twitter.com/deedubs/status/880819973488340992 https://twitter.com/deedubs/status/880819973488340992
