Very misleading title IMHO... A couple excerpts:<p>&gt; I have no beef with JIRA per se, but its the one we come across the most.
&gt; Here’s what a colleague said, just this morning about JIRA:
&gt;&gt; We must ensure JIRA usage is identical across teams, in order to ensure velocity parity<p>&gt; So, clearly this is no fault of JIRA — I (as I’m sure you) have seen it used many a time successfully, but all to often, it is used (and abused) as a top down management tool, mandated from the centre.<p>Uh... then don&#x27;t work for company with shitty management... This has absolutely nothing to do with JIRA. You could find and replace &#x27;s&#x2F;JIRA&#x2F;Rally&#x2F;&#x27; and while the article would still be wrong it would make as much sense. There is nothing inherently wrong with JIRA itself. If you have shit management then you have shit management and no tool is going to help&#x2F;hurt that really...
