I remember their (pivotal) culture was very unique. Maybe the developers have tired out of mandatory pairing

I recall the mandatory pairing as quite popular among some devs during that era. I wonder if anyone is actually still working in that manner.

Yeah. Now they are pairing with a chatbot.

I never worked at Pivotal but did work in a 100% pairing cultural (it wasn’t forced but our team did it for three years) and I desperately miss it. It’s so hard to find companies that do it.

Unfortunate. Of all the PM tools I've used, I hated Pivotal the least.

It made it easy to do the things that were frequently done.

It limited customization down to a sane level.

And it generally seemed to stay out of the way (significant look at Jira).
