They recently redid some of their core infrastructure so that may have come undone.

Ah, refactoring strikes again!

There's never time to do it right, always time to do it over.

Consider yourself fortunate, you were spared pain of using JIRA and Confluence

What are the pains of using Jira and confluence?

Here's one that bothers me.

If you use Jira to track sprints, and you want to view the previous sprint, how would you expect to do it? I don't mean a sprint from 5 years ago, I mean the one from last week. Let's say you want to view stories that didn't get completed last sprint, or you just want to see what happened because you're doing a retrospective. How would you expect to go about this in a mature product for which your organization pays money?

You might say "well, there's probably a button on the current sprint that lets you go back in time to the last sprint. Like, some form of pagination. Or, maybe you can even set a date on a calendar and see the active sprint during that date. That would be cool."

According to Atlassian's support forum, there is "no way to currently do this"[1].

You can approximate it by building a custom query, or going into a reporting dashboard (if you have access). You shouldn't need to.

The main thing with Atlassian is they royally screwed over all their customers by discontinuing their most popular product and forcing everyone to cloud using really, really unsavory tactics. The only product remaining you can use without cloud had its price increased by an order of magnitude. And, they offered a discount to on-prem customers who signed up for it, and after the fact announced a price increase at leas…

What was the discontinued most popular product? Hipchat? That was pretty terrible by modern standards.

Orev may be referring to Atlassian sunsetting their Server products. You now have either Cloud or Datacenter ($$$) as your only options.

I'm able to view previous sprints for a board by going to the reports tab on the left sidebar.

Never fear: these funds are being directed to critically useful tasks of an earth-shattering priority like building a wooden skyscraper .

I thought this was a joke or something but after googling it you aren't joking....

Wow...

Hell of a bet on building more physical space with WFH and other factors making office space cheaper. Plus investing in a new building material concept. This seems like a passion project for someone high up in their food chain.

What the heck really? I had the complete exact opposite experience. I actually do wish we are still on jira. it's slow. It's filters make no sense. It's entire flow make no sense.

Filters make no sense? You craft the filters, so if that makes no sense it’s because you didn’t craft the right thing. What flow? It’s a task management software, not a traffic system. I don’t want it manipulating the flow of anything. It provides swimlanes and that’s more than enough for me. I can move any task anywhere at any time which is exactly what I want out of a software — for it to get out of the way.

Isn’t this the sort of thing that would normally have made it to the first page here a while ago? Just asking, I’ve never used any of their products

they're maybe down for some people, or some of the time, but they're not totally down.

i've definitely been using bitbucket and jira for the last four days without noticing anything wrong.

There’s something hidden in the sprint reports. One of the different views there let‘s you see the stories from any previous sprint. Not sure whether it reflects the state of the stories as of that sprint, though.
