Signed up on Trello, got everything set up there and everyone has an account.

But my dear PM, why the hell are you still sending out a screenshot of your bloody spreadsheet bug tracker and ask everyone for updates????

Fellow devRanters how do I get (force) my PM to use a project management system instead of silly tables?

    @justatshirt I had to upvote for because I just pictured someone saying that and being completely serious and watching the awkward silence fall over a room :) ++

    What I've learned is that they normally just don't know any better until someone tells them. They aren't akin to looking for better solutions but instead just using what is provided. Try and present the alternative in a way that makes it seem like a great time saver and communication helper. Which, it is lol

    I fucking hate it when people use Excel for everything.

    @lukegv We used JIRA before, I love it (other Atlassian products too!) but PM didn't bother to log in and look.
    Obviously doesn't like using anything other than tables...

    @snypenet I tried... didn't work at all. PM is a "my way or highway to hell" person, PM would refuse to use anything that changes the way PM works - even if it would speed up the process x10

    @Letmecode @theImposter I agree and usually the first approach I take but it's just PM keeps coming back with emails and tables....
    FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU! *pulling hair*

    Seriously, I have never meet someone that is so S(tubborn) H(opeless) I(ncompetent) T(edious)
