I am a consultant and have tried to use Jira as a tool for managing the work of my team. I find if you have more than 10-15 tasks, I just loose the visibility. It’s easier just to create a simple Word document with structured bullet points (first indentation level is the topic, second level is the outcome, third level is the task). One weekly plan, one A4 in Word. When a task is done, I cross it out. When I need to prioritise, I tag each task as p1, p2, p3. It works SO MUCH better because of its simplicity and flexibility. In addition, I can also easily convey to the managing partner / VP what the team is working on without needing to click around 15 different cards and sub cards.

- faeriechangling 4y agoI’ve used a word document for team organization before and I think the depressing thing is that as inefficient as it is, it’s not really all that much less efficient than anything else. The more structured and fancy something is like Jira, the more it insists upon itself.
