Project management is definitely ripe for new competitors. But the pricing sales form dark pattern is so frustrating. Why do people do that? Does it really increase engagement? It legitimately pisses me off, and I'm the decision maker on taking on this kind of software or not.

#12Dependency visualization could be valuable for managers in complex projects, so are they your ICP?
For ICs, the biggest feature would be not having to use the tool; to have it infer everything from the tools actually used for work.

#13Hmm, Jira clone number two hundred and seventeen. What makes this one special, besides the fact that it gives me "Server Internal Error" right now?

Personally I would never use this as I cannot see the pricing on the pricing page.

#15Anyone else find the carousel on the homepage SUPER irritating. It's set to cycle faster than reasonable to read the diagrams etc. and gives 1998 pop-up-ad vibes which made me tab out.

#16The pricing page is an instant turn off. I want to start a trial but I have no idea how much I'll be paying without contacting you first? Are you kidding me? Yes large orgs will probably want to contact you for pricing but you are leaving business from smaller orgs on the table. My first reaction when seeing the "contact us for pricing" was "ok whatever I'll just go use a competitor"
To me it suggest that they are indeed targeting enterprises, which makes sense since their visualization feature is really only valuable for complex projects. You probably should just use a competitor.

It's not for engagement, it's usually because they don't actually have a standard pricing. It signals that they don't want small, self-serve customers, they only want to serve enterprise customers who want to negotiate custom contracts.

#19The AI voice model is not selling it in addition to the the other points raised.
This is not a wallpaper problem. It’s a building codes problem. Until you can solve that,you might as well improve Jira.

Anytime I see "contact us for pricing" or "schedule demo" or "download whitepaper" or a "solutions" menu item at the top, it's an instant turn off.
