@3e2 The tools used are important - just don't use JIRA.

@OP Products are developed using brains and hardware. Jira is irrelevant. It all boils down to how you organise work, regardless of the tools used.
@34q JIRA is for fools
@34r Jira is a great tool for fools
@hy "JIRA is a great tool". You have a great sense of humor.
@q0 wasn't JIRA initially just another bug tracking tool? not much thought needed for that.
@OP nope
@hy I have used it, but it wasn't by choice. Way way to complicated.
There is a difference between “software development” and “software manufacturing “.
Development needs some thinking, wisdom, knowledge and off course collaboration.
Manufacturing needs doing some job that is reparative, can be measured quantitatively.
I feel jira for a manufacturing environment; like running set of qa tests, reporting pass/fail
Some ediots at F5 suddenly decided to impose jira concept, recruit/covert some managers/leads to scrum/scam master. They waste tone of money in training etc.
They never focused of the real product.
@hy that statement is up for discussion for those of us that have been on many successful projects/products that didn't use JIRA. Under JIRA, I haven't been on a successful project.
The culture is to blame, JIRA is a great tool and everyone uses it.
@OP F5 is not unique in this regard. Jira is a management and control tool, not a developer tool. Without jira many managers and directors would not be able to justify their existence in the company. Someone has to manage tickets, swim lanes and Gant charts - all useless tasks btw.
