JIRA is largely bought as a top-down decision from management and forced upon teams that don’t really want it. Do you see Zepel as being a tool that would be bought bottom up? By that I mean, is it the type of thing you want engineering teams begging management for, or do you plan to sell top down?

Neal, we see Zepel being bought bottom up. We are engineers ourselves and we built a tool that we would be happy using. We also plan on having a data sync with Jira mainly to help teams within larger org switch to Zepel, while the updates still flow back to JIRA without breaking the “managements” view.
It also comes with BitBucket which I'm fine with.
