Agree, it could be worst. We have Jira bug tracking, Confluence and Jira Agile. Confluence is great, no more sharepoint, we just put all our documentation there. Jira Agile is simply awful, the UI/UX is non-intuive and super hard to understand. That product is definitely there for the enterprise world who is drinking the Agile kool-aid.

We started using gitlab at work, sadly we dont track issues in there, but still rely on Jira Agile. GitLab would be a great acquisition for Atlasian.

I'm not sure why Atlassian would acquire Gitlab when they already have Stash (which might be called Bitbucket Server now - but either way is a fully fledged Git{la,hu}b competitor)

Wasn`t aware about that. I'm surprised my team didnt go with that...

Will just leave it here: http://technologyconversations.com/2015/10/16/github-vs-gitl...

We use Stash (and Jira and Confluence and a bunch of Agile stuff). Its... ok. Its a lot better than some of the other self-hosted repositories we tried, but there are some rough spots. Pull requests are a lot worse than Github, for example. The integration with Jira can be pretty cool though.

What product would you consider better for Agile? And are you talking Scrum or Kanban style Agile? Over the years I've used and tried a bunch, and Jira Agile (used to be Greenhopper) seemed better than most.

My favorite for a (very) small team was actually Trello, but it doesn't scale to larger teams (UI-wise I mean, with more tasks and a bigger backlog).

I was gonna say Trello, since I work with a small team, or a simple white board with tool tip and manage bugs in gitlab.

I can see why Jira Agile is used with bigger team. My team is pretty big, but the projects I am on are usually 2-3 developers, but some other projects they are on average 10 guys. I havent used jira agile much, but everytime i used it, i found it painful (compared to Trello)

Heaven forbid! Keep enterprise M&A hands off Gitlab!
