Every single job I've worked that used Jira, also used google sheets to "map" actual work to Jira work. It has always blown my mind. All the meetings to update the google sheet, and then to update Jira, and then to ask why the two aren't in sync. It feels like I'm taking crazy pills. Why are we using a manual tool (google sheet) to keep track of the work, that's in our work tracking technology? What?

Because there’s so much friction to do anything in Jira. It’s horrible for any kind of planning or really anything that’s not set in stone. I just keep a text editor with my current and next tasks and then update jira at the end of day based on it.
