Talk description
Title:
The Trouble with Jira - 2020 edition
Short synopsis:
Agile conferences, blogs, twitter – wherever lean and agile people come together it is easy to stir up a tumult just by mentioning Jira. Why is there always such a strong reaction? A huge part of the problem lies in the actual adoption in many organizations and similar points can be made about other tools as well. This talk will look into the systemic, sociological and organisational issues that make (some) of us wince each time we hear that our clients use Jira and discuss remedies for this.

Long synopsis (optional):
This is not simply a tool bashing session – this talk provides actual guidance for agile initiatives in an environment where tools are put over interactions, especially colleagues challenged with centrally administered systems. This talk offers participants a chance to garner: - A better –and more objective– understanding of why so many people in the lean and agile communities object to the usage of Jira - Approaches to succeeding with lean and agile initiatives despite centrally administered ticketing systems like the one mentioned in the title Taking the feedback from last year into account, I would like to point out that this talk is not at all restricted to people who use Jira – Jira is just the pre-dominant species in its realm. You can find the 2019 version of slides that where used to illustrate the talk (held at the architecture gathering in Munich) on slideshare: https://www.slideshare.net/MMahlberg/the-trouble-with-jira-tag-2019-187858822/MMahlberg/the-trouble-with-jira-tag-2019-187858822 ---- Slightly longer version of the short synopsis (640 chars instead of 500 chars) Agile conferences, blogs, twitter – wherever lean and agile people come together, it is easy to stir up tumult with emotions running high just by mentioning Jira. But why is there always such a strong reaction? Is it really this specific tool? Not in my experience. The problem lies in the actual adoption in many organizations and –to be fair– similar points could be made about other tools as well. This talk will look into the systemic, sociological and organizational issues that make (some of) us wince each time we hear that our clients use Jira. And it will discuss some remedies that can be leveraged to ease these maladies.
