Granted, Notion isn't that different from Jira experientially -- it is vastly more flexible. But there's no comparing today's "everyone has a ticketing/task management system" setup to how things worked in the ~2000 Java era. We produced massive word documents to describe what we were going to do, and then broke them down to gantt charts in excel, and agreed what we were going to build in advance with formal sign-off by all participants. It was a very different feeling.
- ornornor 3y agoI worked at a large-ish company like that recently, that is stuck in the past. On the surface, they’re “Agile(tm)” because they have sprints and retros. But at the level above middle managers, it’s all huge word documents, Gantt charts, formal sign offs, and then later the blame game when it invariably fails to meet both deadline and requirements. I was too young to work in the 00s, but that was a miserable job. I had colleagues who had been there for decades and others that started as apprentices there and retired in the couple of years I was there… that’s all they’ve ever known and worked at this one place only. It totally blew my mind.
