We face this problem as well. We are working across multiple systems and sometimes unable to take advantage of the various triggers&#x2F;reports etc we had setup in our own JIRA, which meant we had to work harder to deliver to the same standard.<p>So, we developed a robo-advisor to deal with it called stratejos (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stratejos.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stratejos.com</a>). stratejos takes care of house keeping (like making sure the tools are being used as expected) and provides project analytics on top of this. We&#x27;re currently in beta, would love to hear the problems people are having so we can solve them.<p>With the skype&#x2F;chatting&#x2F;etc this is probably something you just have to deal with, as someone else said, its part of being a consultant.
