I don’t mind storing my source in the cloud (although if you asked my employer ten years ago it would have been a different story. That ship sailed. Even the biggest enterprises seem pretty happy to use cloud solutions for most things. I agree backup (and off ramps) are critical in any cloud offering. Can’t be in lock-in and also can’t trust their backup only of course. Jira to me is just an issue manager though. I know there are plugins these days for document management inside Jira itself but I haven’t tried them. Don’t people normally have separate document solutions like Confluence or SharePoint for docs (aside from document that are attached to issues of course)?

> Jira to me is just an issue manager though. People who buy into Jira heavily use it primarily as a communications platform, to structure and make searchable the stuff that would otherwise be lost in the swamp of email and Slack and face-to-face messages. > aside from document that are attached to issues of course Aye, there's the rub. The documents in Confluence are often less important than the documents in Jira. You commit the paper trail to Jira - the primary info you get from your customers and bosses. Confluence is just the docs from the legacy crap you forgot to update last year.
