Why do people call things Jira alternatives that contain about 1/500th of the features? It's just a simple project management tool with a kanban board...

Because jira's advanced features kinda suck. They have a market lock because they have been able to own the space with first mover advantage and buy their competitors.

LOL, at least they are honest about companies doing waterfall style planning being their target audience.

Usually not much more than the basic features are needed. The rest is mostly management feel good goodies.

The H1s are so badly worded. They all feel like they are missing a word.

Because that’s that most people see Jira as. It’s easy to only use Jiras surface level features, like a Trello with a little more functionality, and not the more advanced ones.

yeah, marketing is all about using the simplest language to communicate truth relevant to the group you want to reach, not about communicating absolute truth to all comers.

Does this one allow you to assign more than one person to a ticket?

This bothers me on almost all project management software.

What I'd love to see, is to be able to assign one person as the one "responsible" and then assign others ad-hoc when/if they work on-, review-, discuss, or co-author it.

Some software allows multiple assignees, but as the ancient management-saying goes: if everyone is responsible, no-one is. So i'd still love to have one person assigned with a special role or label.

Shared responsibility is no responsibility.

GitHub projects are wild good now

But then your PMs and all stakeholders need to have github accounts.
