Not Jira. Hahahahaha.
- mrslave 6y agoIs anyone just using Git{Hub,Lab,Tea} issues and being fine with it? Is the absence of a Kanban board a deal breaker? Perhaps for management.
- anix 6y agoGithub has Projects, which IMO does a pretty decent job.
- seneca 6y agoGitLab includes kanban boards, actually.
- closeparen 6y agoGit-adjacent issue trackers are communication tools for developers. JIRA is a surveillance and control mechanism for senior executives. It just depends on the size of your company.

Never saw it being used like that, though I see how it could be abused. > It just depends on the size of your company. The culture probably more than the size.
- eli 6y agoWe were fine with just using Github Issues... until we weren't. At a certain scale, it's too hard to sort and filter issues and since you can't add fields it was hard to capture all the issue metadata we wanted.
- axegon_ 6y agoLab enterprise, yeah. They are utterly useful in our case since we are working on a branch per issue model, which makes it extremely easy for tracking and code reviews.
- amoe_ 6y agoHow do you deal with projects that have multiple Git repositories associated with them, but need to have their issues tracked in a single place?
- shoo 6y agoyou can define github projects that source and display issues from github issue trackers across multiple github repos. this is certainly a feature of on-site deployments of github enterprise. i am not sure if it is offered as part of github.com's enterprise offering or to non enterprise users. but hey, this is the enterprise software thread.
- mongol 6y agoI think Jira is among the better in the enterprise software class. Compared with ServiceNow (different use case but also enterprice-y) I much much prefer Jira. For example, the URL structure is sane.
- amiga_500 6y agoWait, service now is 3rd party software? It's so bad I assumed it was internal, by a team of 2-3 utterly incompetent web developers. This is paid for? Oh my god...
- bradj 6y agoI had this exact same feeling.
- bradknowles 6y agoNo, it’s a huge monster enterprise monolith. And we all get crushed under that weight. I so much prefer Jira.
- amiga_500 6y agoHonestly i'm just amazed. It's just so, so poor. Who works on this software? Who wants to go to an interview with "workflow and usability lead on service now, 5 years" on their CV!
- ian-g 6y agoI feel like sn's biggest issue/strength is the length it lets you customize things. Sure, it can suck so incredibly bad. But it can be really good too, depending on who built it up. But I agree that the URLs are terrible, it's slow, and it's too easy to lose things along the way. Especially custom things I say this as someone whose job is to help manage my company's sn instance and clean up the utter shite left behind by our predecessors
- Aeolun 6y agoServicenow is the SAP of I dunno maybe just an even shittier version of SAP.
- dbsmith83 6y agoor Confluence, for that matter. Seriously, how can the search be as bad as it is?
- mrweasel 6y agoIn many cases you get the feeling that search might as well not be a feature. You can’t depend on it for location things. It does PDFs sort of okay for some reason.
- Smaug123 6y agoThe hack we've found is to load each page with keywords. Just shove the string "quux quux quux quux" at the bottom of the page about Quux, for example.
- brazzy 6y agoI actually like JIRA, never understood the widespread hate for it.
- Aeolun 6y agoIf you control your own Jira instance it’s ok.
- hpen 6y agoShameless plug. But if you don't like Jira, try Kanception.io it is an opinionated, nested kanban board built on a tree data structure.
