it seems to me that often the people who decide whether to use Atlassian products aren't actually using them personally...

Definitely. From a buyer’s perspective, Atlassian is awesome. It checks every single box of requirements a development team could give to an “IT department”.

This is particularly prevalent where you have software teams working in a non software business. That’s an environment where you get execs pushing for ‘unity’, whatever that is, and every team must use jira (or Monday/notion etc).

Even worse, often they’ll expect you to use jira without the software specific features.

When my org tried this, it was a good test of my influence outside the dev team.
