I find JIRA light weight. The trick is not to follow too many processes. Drag on tickets to your board when you start them and move then through the swim lanes.

I find JIRA light weight. The trick is not to follow too many processes. Drag on tickets to your board when you start them and move then through the swim lanes. The worst cases are when people set up too much security and complex transition rules so that people are blocked by JIRA.
JIRA ain't perfect though. The constant UX changes drive me nuts. At least HN still works the same way as 10 years ago, but JIRA keeps changing like a shapeshifter.
- seattle_spring 7y agoThe fact that larger companies that use JIRA have to employ full time "JIRA Administrators", or worse, teams of JIRA admins, suggests that the tool is anything but lightweight.
- mc3 7y agoLarger companies need meta-roles. That is never going away. If that "PMO" person isn't using JIRA, they are using something else, or there are even more people wasting time dealing with all this via email and shared Excel sheets.
