A Jira alternative — or a Jira that works?

01 · The problem

The board tells the truth for exactly one day.

Board review in ten minutes and WEB-214 still shows In Progress — it shipped on Thursday and nobody transitioned it. A tracker only knows what someone remembered to type into it, so the morning goes to DMs and by 10am the board is wrong again.

02 · What you need

Nothing touches an issue without you.

She asks the owner, checks the issue, and then waits. Every write-back arrives first as a before/after preview — this transition, this date, this comment — that you approve, edit or refuse. She held Mike's "shipped" at the gate until Jira agreed with him.

03 · How it runs

It runs the loop around Jira.

Set where the asking happens and what an answer gets checked against. Every step rewrites itself to match — she works from the chat window your team already lives in, so nobody has to open Jira to keep Jira true.

04 · What it's worth

Should you actually leave Jira?

Ask one question: is the pain the tool, or the upkeep? If the workflow doesn't match how you ship, or the licensing hurts, migrate with our blessing — a simpler board is a real answer. If it's the upkeep, read what a migration ports over.
