Anyone using Jira to manage their PhD?

[Steve Haines]

Completing a PhD is a major project - in my case as an individual. Many different components to manage - references (using Mendeley), grant applications, multiple timelines and monthly reports, etc

Is anybody using Jira to manage their own PhD?

Considering a PhD is a 4 year commitment (at least!), is the time to learn the platform a worthwhile investment?

Maybe a combination of JIRA and Confluence perhaps - thinking of PhD the first thing that comes to my mind is lots of documentation so Confluence will have a big role to play there.

There are a number of reference management software solutions including Mendeley and EndNote which are indispensable for research higher degree. Confluence may work to integrate references with specific tasks. Thanks for the suggestion - I will check it out.
