Overall Satisfaction with Pivotal Tracker
Pivotal Tracker is used across the whole organization - maybe minus 2 people - so 8 or so. It helps us track software development work into compartmentalized tickets. Almost every ticket is touched by everyone that uses Pivotal Tracker in some way. I.e. there's a problem we are trying to solve, someone creates a ticket, someone picks up the ticket to start the software development, someone does the software development work, someone checks their work, someone tests their work, someone passes the ticket, someone checks the work of the person who passed the ticket, etc.
- Constant updates - you can always see who touches the project as a whole.
- Clean, concise ticket structure.
- It's not user friendly at first. But very powerful once you understand the tools.
- It's nice that you can customize your lanes (columns).
- I can't speak to this as I serve on the project but don't pay for the product.
Jira is very user friendly. It's ideal for people new to the software development lifecycle and the tracking of the work. They have simply nailed the intuitiveness. Pivotal Tracker might be the better long-term tool because of the flexibility that comes with it. But as mentioned, the learning curve is very steep for Pivotal Tracker.
