On iOS and macOS Safari, the grid becomes a single column, with all of the cells overlapping along in the right-side column.
They have a feedback link on the bottom left menu on BB, maybe point that out to them?
* Proviso: Said corporate fanbasers have many times said to me how it's so configurable etc, after spending weeks in the trenches fixing trivial nonsense.
i.e. the masses have formed an opinion, Jira won't get you fired. Something else will, so if in doubt, use Jira.
Lot of people in doubt out there.
It's a defensive behavior and in a low trust culture one would be more concerned about choosing something good enough rather than risk experimenting with a new but unproven tool.
Which tells a lot about the alternatives targeted at corporate users.
Other companies can only achieve this level of broken through acquisitions, distributed teams, competing for scarce internal resources and stack ranking. Atlassian achieved it by ignoring customer requirements, rapid feature growth, and monolithic java.
I've never understood this trope. Atlassian grew because developers used their product, not corporate fanbasers[0]
no thanks.
We're a foolish species most of the time.
I was involved in meetings some time back where the aim was to try and organize a support board in Jira.
The lanes were fine I thought, but we also had priority / severity that users could set themselves. My perspective was that this is useless, that people will always set stuff to the highest priority because to them, it probably is. Instead, we should either do away with this altogether and just have the priority be: whatever is on top, and don't let "regular" users change this – or – we have a priority master, a single person responsible for owning these priorities to have a consistent opinion. It doesn't much matter if it's "right" so long as it's consistent, because it is an opinion, not a natural fact.
Of course this was shot down and the next several weeks were spent discussing the priority levels. Looking at the board this morning I see all tickets are at the highest priority – shocker! No one cares of course and the point isn't so much whether or not I was right, but the fact that this is what people do for a living makes me less anxious about the impending automation doom. We'll figure out useless jobs for everyone I'm sure!
"How much time will this take?" (Very demanding Asian boss in Australia Post)
"No idea, might be quick, might be complex, I don't know your environment."
"Well, developers have said 8 points. How much time is that??"
"I don't know".
His response: "Stay behind after the meeting, I need to talk to you about respect for authority".
Fun times.
If you're not agile, stop lying about it. I saw a job on Seek the other day advertising a DevOps roles - turns out they want a helpdesk operator. Stop lying in job ads, and stop drinking the kool aid.
None of it helps.
- we're literally dying
- we're actively losing money
- we're not earning enough
- we're just being annoying
Keep in mind JIRA isn't just a bug tracker but a highly configurable workflow tool. It competes with products like HP ALM which often are UX atrocities.
The project management tools does not seem quite has polished as other products though..
Out of the box, I'm not sure, I don't think I've ever seen it. If what I've seen is out-of-the-box, it's awful.
I get you're point about people fiddling with it, but that's usually because they never understood that JIRA is quite simple to begin with.
But I've also learned Enterprises pay more $$$ for worse unusable UX since that needs consultants and bigger support contracts.
edit: oh, looks like they started doing some actual design, if good I don't know yet.
Like this image from the linked page https://www.atlassian.design/react_assets/images/cards/caree... showing insanely happy people all wearing the same clothes, staring up at some thing which is just unbelievably interesting and inspiring - the great leader/god/Steve Jobs/the CEO/a technical talk on Java?
I just don't want to work at a manufactured cult, which is what all Silicon Valley-esque companies work damn hard to be.
Interviewer: "Tell us why you want a job here at cult company X"
Job seeker: "Because I really want to play foosball every lunchtime, to chug beer with the awesome folks after work in the german beer bar built in to the office, and most of all, to give my youth for this incredibly important mission of changing the world by giving better bug tracking tools to developers everywhere!"
There's a reason the word "culture" starts with "cult".
