Trello, “Jira Sucks”, and Tool Dysfunction

I think people associate JIRA with middle managers who "work" all day in JIRA and foist draconian JIRA "processes" on everyone. eg: My current manager wants us update all open JIRA tickets every morning with "current status" .

Not sure why manager types like JIRA though..

I hate JIRA, but I noticed something. If I tell people to do something, they won't do it. If I create a ticket in JIRA it has a much higher probability of getting done. It's not been too bad, after I got over the hate of not having real markdown and the 100 fields when a ticket is created that are mostly unused.

I prefer little to no process, but the work has to be organized some how, and using git with emacs and org mode wouldn't be nice to most :)

Not sure if you've seen the org JIRA integrations, but you can effectively do ticket management in org-mode.
