It is rumored, and I even think National Geographic did a documentary on this once, that JIRA was created by Satan and is still run to this day, by demons. I used it once, once, and I didn't sleep for weeks after. Took many years of therapy and good booze to make it through. Just talking about it gives me the shivers.
LOL Can you recommend an alternative?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

We use DevOps (formerly TFS) for almost everything. Managing work tasks, user stories, bugs, etc. deployment pipelines. We do everything with Git and VS, via DevOps source control, blah, blah. JIRA does have a few things for workflow that I like, but it is still like voodoo magick to me. What are you really wanting to do with JIRA that DevOps would not be able to do?

I just set up a Jira free account using the Project Management Template so I could use the Kanban board. I want to add columns to the board. I [found this page](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/configure-columns/), but on my site there is no more (...) > Board settings option. I have given myself all rights that I could find. Anyone know what's wrong?

I'm using JIRA, although it was not my choice, after some teething problems my colleague got it working and I have no issues with it. If you are looking for an alternative: https://www.slant.co/topics/11659/~jira-alternatives[^]

If you're just looking for a simple Kanban board, you may want to try Trello[^]. It's much easier and less cluttered than Jira.

Back carefully away, do not break eye contact, find something else (cheaper) to use. If you are in an envoirment with lots of projects that are different it is useful. If not it causes some problems, the worst thing as happened with me, was my Boss was a Jira Ninja, nobody else was so I would ask how to do something, I would get told the Jira method, do it, then get hauled over the coals for not doing it. Do it the way 'they' wanted get my Boss breathing neck as I hadn't done it, then get in to trouble for taking too long I was doing it both ways to save getting moaned at...

Not sure how much customization is required. Every place I worked paid for a subscription. Pretty sure that's how the Atlassian tools work. Been using it for at least 6 years now, and it seems pretty painless. Agile, C/C++, Linux, eclipse CDT, CMake, pretty standard stuff. We don't have it integrated with Git, so we do all our Git work from the command line. It does agile pretty well: sprint planning, backlog, user stories, the whole enchilada. Unless you are looking for freeware, or a personal project planning tool, Jira is designed for a company with seasoned professionals.

We're using JIRA on a project we're doing with AWS. For the work we're doing internally, we're using Azure DevOPS. Nice thing about it there a FREE course. All you need is a Microsoft account. Exam AZ-400: Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions - Learn | Microsoft Docs[^]
