This. So fucking much this. I’ve seen Jira used to plan waterfall schedules, to track meeting actions, and as a relational database. And all of them claiming to be “agile”.
When used for the right thing in the right way, Jira is a great tool. It is people who make it shitty, and specifically the type of PM who doesn’t understand the complexities, people or technical, of their work.
Machine Learning is the general field, and I think if we weren’t wrapped up in the AI hype we could be training models to do important things like diagnosing disease and not writing shitty code or creating fantasy art work.
