I would love to meet you and introduce you to any manager I have in the future (because I"m sure Jira will be reintroduced in my professional career). What were you using Jira for? Are you an engineer committing code daily? What style do your projects usually follow (waterfall, agile, etc)? What source control tracking do you use with Jira? Were you doing burndown charts?

I'm an engineer. Writing code but also doing code review.

I worked with jira and scrump but the last two years I introduced kanban. But those projects have a high level of uncertainty and supportrequests. Which just makes it hard to finish a Sprint.

Always git. Git with GitHub.com, on premise GitHub and selfhosted gitlab.

I do use the reporting Features. It is nice to see the progress. Seeing the backlog shrinking and also the time on how long a ticket is in progress. It helps a little bit of keeping priorities. It also helps showing the management why stuff takes as long as it takes. Especially unplanned work.
