If you were starting a new company what would you use instead of Jira?
Nothing, personally. Jira at our place only serves the bean counters in the programme management department. The data is a mess anyway, it just gives them the illusion of control.
I work in a large enterprise and most of our work is just stupid red tape satisfying processes and other teams' rules, many of which just exist to keep those teams employed. There's so much unnecessary work and BS going on.
So then how would you document changes, work, etc. as is required by SOC2, PCI, SARBOX and other auditing frameworks that businesses require?
We don't do any of those things. We're not even developers. We just use Jira to log hours (which is basically one big fantasy obviously)
That’s definitely not a problem of Jira. You’re hating the product, when most likely your ire would be drawn to any application you were using for such a fucked up process.
Probably but Jira makes it so hard.
For example if I type 1h 33m it's ok but 1h33m is not. It's just a really awkward UI.
Considering they are talking about making a replacement service, probably just GitHub/codeberg/etc and collab edit docs and discussions at the start, and then eat your own dogfood.
Check out what microslop is doing to github. Codeberg though, that's an option!
I'd want better tickets for dev and bugs than github has, not sure the codeberg offering there if any
