As with Others and many weeks in to the 'New Improved Look' with the cluttered and unintelligent interface, I was wondering when the option to return to the old look which worked and was not broken.
Atlassian don't seem to want to listen or put things back.
We feel your pain. We are hoping for a listen. Would be great to have a conference call with them. They can hear how Trello is used.....it could give them some ideas and context for the pain points we are seeing with the new unfortunate UI.
I've been using Jira for years now, and considering bringing it into another organisation I have just moved to, but the Navigation really is a lousy shot at UI design.
You've lost all the basic principals of UI / UX design.
The "sticky" options at the top are the least useful ones, I can't tell from one area of the system to another whether I should expect to see certain nav bar elements or not. The golden rule of 7 items at any one time has completely gone out the window!
The menu options are difficult to distinguish from one another - what is wrong with a HTML 1.0 style Horizontal rule as a bare minimum to separate menu elements, or perhaps a shading option for the currently selected menu option (a function that's been around since HTML 4)
An Active project really should take full immediate focus - even just adding some theme colours would make the world of difference!
This isn't progress guys.... seriously.. it's really not!
