We're exploring the idea of managing our product roadmap with git issues.
I'm looking for example of companies doing so. I have the following in mind:
* Gitlab (https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/-/issues)
* SimpleAnalytics (https://github.com/orgs/simpleanalytics/projects/1#card-52073682)
Do you have other examples/resources/feedback to get inspiration and examples from?
Actual issue trackers are far more efficient. Juggling pull requests, code review, and inevitable things like edit conflicts and rebases is a small price to pay for code that people are working on for hours at a time. However, it’s way too much overhead to simply manage issues. It’s not fun to have to type a lot of commands and click around code review to accomplish the same thing I can do in a few seconds with a couple clicks in an issue tracker.
The system also hits a dead end as soon as you want to bring non-coders into the loop. It’s not fun when your managers have to go through a coder to get guidance to interact with the issue tracker.
A better starter option might be something like Asana or even a shared Trello board. Your priority should be to keep it as simple as possible and resist complexity as long as possible.
