Atlassian to shed 5 per cent of workers

Re:Atlassian to shed 5 per cent of workers by 112233 on Tuesday March 07, 2023 @04:18AM (#35053315)

is there maybe some jiraisactuallynotbad.com place where I could read on how people use jira as a tool and get stuff done? All I see are rage posts and sites that roast jira, bordering on rage hate that systemd was getting.

whenever i try and use jira to get things done, it is genuinely bad tool.

As an example, low priority issue that blocks high priority issue is not automatically promoted. This single thing makes jira unfit for its primary purpose in my eyes

That's perfectly configurable in 5 minutes with an automation.

Jira out of the box doesn't make your company suddenly more productive. Just like Office 365 doesn't magically work. You need good governance, administration / configuration and proper training to make it generate added value.

No it is not. It is perfectly solvable by dedicated specialist that has long time experience maintainig jira, knows how to interact with jira api, has budget to by licenses for third party plugins that implement such basic functionality etc.

If you ask "normal" it person to do this, i'd like to see those 5 minutes

You really don't need to go through the API.

Jira automations are installed out of the box. No third party plugins needed.

It's very very basic jira administration, and it's one of the more powerful tools jira has to offer:
