Welcome to Jiramancy

Atlassian’s Jira is an extremely powerful work management tool, but this power cuts two ways. With great flexibly comes great complexity….and that’s before we start talking about what the users are getting up to. The human factor makes getting the most out of Jira something beyond a science. The objective “rules”, best practices and other gotcha’s constrain it more than an art.

 

It’s nether. It’s both. It’s….Jiramancy.

 

I created this site to help me keep track of all 10+ years of learnings in an attempt to stop re-learning them the hard way.
