As a team, what tool do you guys use to organize your backlog, current tasks and roadmap?

Hahahahah. I find it hard that there has been anyone that loves it today, that hast hated it in the past. Kinda like Japanese food.

When I began using it I hated it as well. When the team finally gets the hang of it, it works amazingly. The thing is that it is too powerful and that’s exactly the reason why it’s so complex and heavy at the beginning. 

If a team doesn’t know how to use it, it’s a disaster.

I absolutely hate anything that supports bureaucracy and corporate behavior :)

Hahahahah. That’s an opinion for sure. It is still an amazing tool for teams to develop complex projects and is behind some amazing services out there.

Just to be clear, I am in no way an advocate of the tool. It has many flaws as well. But I’ve had great experiences with it and am still to this very moment, so I can’t say it’s been bad.

Don’t mix the fact that I’m used to stuff with the fact that it would make me LIKE anything or not. When in saying I like a tool, it’s because it actually makes my everyday life better. And of course if it’s boring, I won’t like it. I’ve always had the liberty to use the tools I’ve liked, even in a corporate space. Or course, the difference is that we would always chose the tools that made the team work better together and not necessarily me, on my own. 

But yeah, those are 2 different worlds. You’ll have stuff you like and hate everywhere 🤣

You've spent your entire career in big corporate companies and are used to it. I've always worked independently, with my own workflows and organization. So, I just can't stand a lot of the things corporations require. For example, today I had a 2-hour call that could have easily been a short email. Wtf.
