Where’s the course on managing your reaction when the client starts moving the goal posts on a project that you didn’t specify well enough (or at all), because you’re a young eager developer without any scars yet?
I looked at Linear and it's very software-specific. The features page says it's "the new standard for modern software development".
I do use Jira for software, but also for generic state tracking of non-software processes. E.g. some projects have no use for sprints, or code integration, or user stories.
Ok, it's slow, and navigation sucks, and lots of other things. Workflows are easy to get out of hand, but as long as you keep your workflows lean/tame/flexible, it's mostly "good enough". I suspect a sizable portion of the "Jira sucks" crowd are under the thumb of a maniacal administrator creating intense workflows.
That said, which competitor has a visual workflow editor, to which I can add custom statuses/transitions, which are applied based on various conditions/validations? And custom screen/field configurations? And custom resolutions? And time tracking? And apply security/permission schemes across all these things?
I get it, Jira sucks, I agree, but what's the go-to competitor?
