    All my homies hate agile, Jira, scrum, kanban, etc.

    In truth none of these items are inherently wrong - what’s wrong is leadership picking up new tools and adopting management structures expecting them to solve fundamental organizational issues.

    Instead they only serve to magnify the outcomes of your existing corporate culture.

      It’s funny that “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools” is the first of the tenets of agile and the most ignored. I think most people’s frustrations with agile are from people worrying too much about processes and tools.

        Scrum/Agile has 2 advantages over waterfall.

        • things that don’t work get stopped early, without stigma.

        • the team works together towards an overall goal, it is not individuals working on individual tasks.

        The “agile” tools themselves rarely encourage either of these practices.

        Jira

        • assigns tasks to individuals.
        • treats closed and cancelled differently.

    For those complaining about Jira… I used to be one of you. After changing jobs and using several alternatives, I am begging to be back on Jira. Manage Engine is currently the bane of my existence.

      That might very well be the case, however, why are all of these apps so incredibly bad?

      Jira especially seems like the definition of feature creep. It’s more bloated than a lactose intolerant child after a tub of ice cream.
