I heard about and saw Jira back in the early 2000s and it was ugly.
Since then I've seen it used a few times, and always in a clunky and inelegant way.
But roll in 2022 and it confronts me in a new roll, I no longer have the beauty and familiarity of Azure DevOps.
Since this time and only with onthejob training I've managed to build a System of Work that does most of everything I need, and I didn't need fancy training courses, just the material to solve the majority of my questions.
So its no longer a dirty word, its a functional work :)
