Selfhosted Jira alternative (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by Sarek@discuss.tchncs.de to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

In my day job, we use Jira to manage our software development projects. For various things at home, I would also like to use a ticket system, And while I wholeheartedly hate Jira, compared to the open source alternatives I found, it is still the best system.

Is anyone aware of a good alternative that provides a good backlog view, a Kanban board, and the possibility to group tickets together in epics and sagas?

I agree that taiga shouldn’t feature Haliburton.

This all bearing said do you really think the people working on Taiga seek to be more evil and more terrible?

The people working on the software might not, but the pointy headed managers obviously are reaching for it, and in the end the people working on the software's opinions don't matter in the least.

For property software you would be right. Yah.

But it’s open source AGPL stuff. Full time devs improving AGPL code is good even with pointy haired managers.

This all being said I don’t think even the managers aim to become more evil and more terrible as their goal.

Of course, most managers' goal is not to become more evil and more terrible. Their goal is to attain more money and power. Becoming more evil and more terrible is simply the means toward those ends.
