Jira tickets age. 

Piled, — leaves in the fall. Backlog. 

Scrum Master’s nightmare.

Column's getting red

Bottlenecks make me anxious

I still heart Jira

 

EDIT: I like rhymes for some reason

Column's getting red

Bottlenecks fill me with dread

Time to get ahead

Dusting off my poetry teacher credentials for this! I remember a few haiku concepts: lines must be self-contained; you have to indicate what season it is; often it is a combination of something old and something new.  So my poem:

A decades-old tool
Innovations keep it fresh
Ice pops and Jira

I got 99 issues

But having no tool to manage them

Isn’t one.

Ps. I might be clueless about Haikus 😅
