How are you liking Next Gen JSD Projects?

Question

I've been testing them out while I have been here at Summit and aside from some of the features that are missing (but will come!) I am really enjoying the Next Gen projects.

What do you all think about them? Are you concerned at all about users being able to make as many custom fields and statues as they want? Are you excited for less work on the admin side?

I'm not using next gen projects right now. With what I've seen in the forum I don't think they have all the kinks worked out.  In my experience users of tools, like JIRA, make a mess when given too may options. They have no organized plan and just do whatever appears good today.

Hey Joseph, intriguing perspective. How would you see us avoiding that?

I agree. From what I have heard, in Atlassian's testing, they haven't seen any performance issues. They put a couple of their internal teams on the projects to test and use them for their day to day. I don't know what types of teams they had test them but I'm guessing any of their teams will have more knowledge than the average user.

It may require some deeper training before we hand these out to our teams but hopefully it works out though. The general idea of it is great and I love the way it functions.
