top | item 29833383 (no title) dovyski | 4 years ago I second that. It has a limited feature set, which makes you focus on what matters. It is not like Jira that buries you in tons of options and information.Definitely give GitHub projects a go. discuss order hn newest dzhiurgis|4 years ago > Definitely give GitHub projects a go.Now how do I convince my bosses to do so..? dovyski|4 years ago That's a though one, but I think you can start with what matters the most: cost. If you show that a tool:- will make developers happier (for me, GitHub is far superior than gitlab/bitbucket regarding tooling, e.g. actions, review, etc);- is simpler to use, so it reduces management overhead;- is friendly to non-dev teams, again reducing cooperation friction;It will likely reduce costs overall. It might be by shipping faster (or better, or more robustly, or more homogeneously at least).My personal take is that management people use Jira and alike because they read it is the "right" tool. Their motives might be weaker than you think. load replies (2)
