I don't know if something is wrong with me, but I simply cannot "decompose" a single feature into 500 different sub-task Jiras. No, nothing is wrong with you.

No, nothing is wrong with you. But let me note that the Agile Manifesto doesn't say anything about Jira, or anything prescriptive about how small to make your stories.
If your methodology asks you to do that, I'd argue that your methodology is broken. But it's broken because it's shit, not because it's "agile."
- polotics 7y agoWell "individuals and interactions over process and tools" is in the Manifesto, so I would say JIRA is implicitly covered. I am being asked to do "proper structured agile" by writing up many JIRA tasks in advance of learning what best to write, and I find it funny. It's not the disease though, just a symptom of having too many nonprogrammers around. Will resolve itself.

- BigJono 7y ago> just a symptom of having too many nonprogrammers around. Will resolve itself. Parkinson's Law doesn't get enough of the blame for bad dev environments. It's so easy to feel like you're doing 40 hours of difficult, important work a week, while actually accomplishing fuck all at best (or generating more work overall at worst). I bet a big chunk of the problems raised in this thread don't exist if everyone experiencing them cuts their team size in half.
