Re: Trello, “Jira Sucks”, and Tool Dysfunction

I have been using Jira at work for the last 10 months or so, and have been using trello for personal stuff for more than a year and a half.

I dunno, but Jira doesn't looks so bad to me.

To be quite honest, "Jira sucks" really looks like a meme to me, that people carry around for some reaons.

I am not a jira enthusiast, nor i am endorsed/funded by atlassian in any way. Jira is a tool to me, and it does it job.

I've both loved and hated JIRA. For me, it all comes down to how well set up it is. Its configuration over convention approach leads to many installations being poorly configured and often hacked together.

I dunno if Jira sucks, but the granular subtask hour estimation it encourages certainly does.

Is this really how most 'agile' shops work in this industry?

I don't know. It's fine for keeping tasks but seems quite slow.

Just clicking on create issue takes 4 seconds. Switching between issue types takes about 1.5 seconds.

This should all be just simple javascript change and layout calculation but there seem to be network requests for every single click.

To me, that sucks a little.

I've used Jira for about two and a half years and although it wasn't that bad for us, I can see how it might not be a good fit for every team.

Anyway, we ended up using a physical board, which was reflected in Jira for remote teams. I'd take a physical board over Jira and Trello any day, but maybe that's just me.

I haven't seen an install of Jira where opening dashboard won't take five seconds and any search will take ten.

I just don't see how it is acceptable in 2017, with added insult that the amount of data displayed is tiny.
