Why are we even using JIRA?

It's clear from the behavior of the rest of my team that nobody ever has it open, looks at it, or thinks about any tasks that would improve the product other than sputtering out the occasional "mArKeTiNg HyPe" with incomplete horrible tickets that are at best barely decipherable.

Honestly, we can save the $50 a month and I'll just use my own personal trello board, the outcome would be the same.

I mean my life is a joke: we had to have a near hour-long google hangouts for literally dragging and dropping the 'demo/review' tickets to 'done' because my colleagues are so incompetent they can't read the tickets and realize which tickets HAVE LITERALLY ALREADY BEEN SHIPPED TO PRODUCTION WEEKS AGO.

    I'm using selfhosted version on project with ~50 active developers, and it's surprisingly useful.
    Granted, ui could be more user friendly, but it works well for managing tasks etc.

    @impune-pl ah yeah now you have to pay for a data center license 45k usd a year. Otherwise your stuck on their site. Company uses it. It works ish. But they have some very annoying workflows and scrolling issues

    @fullstackchris Tools are only useful if used and used appropriately. Neither seems to be the case in your story, the problem seems to be a fundamental lack of organization and control of day to day business... No tool can solve that.

    @impune-pl damn, that's cool. is it an open source version or does Atlassian have some sort of self-hosted they offer for free??!! How long did it take to setup? I feel like its just a database, API, and client or? lil' node server and done...

    @PonySlaystation "lack of control of day to day business"

    Yep. That's a perfect way to sum it up.

    @fullstackchris it was a universal bin and required database and so on. But they stopped offering it. I doubt you can find the download let alone get a license. It was like 10 bucks for like 5 users. Wasn't bad.

    @fullstackchris I think the company is paying for the self hosted version, or 8.20 is the most recent free version.
