I’m getting frustrated with Jira lately. They keep sending me emails about new features I don’t really need. But the thing that’s really bugging me is that the basic search function hasn’t been working right for months now.
It feels like they’re focusing on the wrong things. I mean, shouldn’t they fix the important stuff first before adding bells and whistles? Has anyone else noticed this? Am I the only one who thinks their priorities are a bit off?
I’m curious to hear if others are having similar issues or if it’s just me. What do you think about Jira’s approach to updates and fixes?
I’ve been in the trenches with Jira for quite a while now, and I can definitely relate to your frustration, Alice. It’s a common pattern I’ve seen with many software companies - they get caught up in the feature race and sometimes lose sight of the basics.
In my experience, the search issues have been a real pain point. I’ve found that using JQL (Jira Query Language) can sometimes help bypass the wonky standard search, but it’s not ideal. It’s like needing a workaround for something that should just work out of the box.
As for the new features, I suspect it’s driven by market pressures. They’re probably trying to stay competitive, but it does feel like they’re putting the cart before the horse. Maybe we should start a collective feedback campaign to get their attention on these core issues. Sometimes it takes a loud chorus of users to shift priorities back to where they matter most.
hey alice, i get ur frustration. the search is a mess and they focus on shiny features over core fixes. i’m thinking about switchin if this keeps happening. anyone else feelin this?
I’ve been using Jira for years, and I’ve noticed this trend too. It’s not just you, Alice. The push for new features while core functionality lags is a common issue in software development. Companies often prioritize flashy additions to attract new users or retain existing ones. However, this approach can backfire when it neglects essential components.
In Jira’s case, the search function is crucial for project management. Its unreliability can significantly impact workflow efficiency. I’ve found workarounds, like using more specific filters or third-party add-ons, but these shouldn’t be necessary for basic functionality.
Have you tried reaching out to their support team? Sometimes, persistent user feedback can shift a company’s focus back to core issues. It might be worth voicing your concerns directly to Atlassian.
