Not because it&rsquo;s a bad tool, but because it&rsquo;s optimised for a way of working that may no longer match how execution actually happens.</p> <p>In larger organisations, Jira serves clear purposes: visibility, alignment, accountability, and coordination. Those are real constraints. But that doesn&rsquo;t automatically mean, given how things have evolved, that it&rsquo;s still the right default approach.</p>
