Nice to see! Purchased back in 2015 and it’s been a daily driver since then. Props to Automattic for honouring existing purchasers with lifetime subscriptions!
> But at the end of the day, it's about the process you build and making sure the tools serve it
This seems to be the key. The _process_ is important and Jira (or another tool) _can_ be used to help implement that process, but Jira itself is not the process.
> Those processes were properly translated and implemented into Jira. Development support teams wrote plugins to connect Jira with in-house systems and have proper synchronization with customer facing bug tracking systems
Interesting, do you think that Jira _requires_ that level of integration to be useful or could a simpler (e.g. less plugin development, synchronization with other systems e.t.c.) also be successful?

+1 just for the chuckle I got out of this! For some reason I found that unreasonably amusing :D
More seriously, though, I would love for this to succeed and would absolutely be a customer. Personally, the IP86 water resistance is important due to being outdoors (cycling, running, hiking) a lot. However I understand that may not fit within the budget (I would pay extra for it though).
+1 to the CMU database group channel. High quality content with excellent (not to mention often entertaining) presentation. The recent Quarrantine[0] and Vaccination[1][2] tech talk series’s have been especially interesting.
