Interesting. Are you an all-dev org or did you also onboard non-devs into GH Projects?

> the GH experience just encourages writing, whereas the Jira experience seems hostile to it.

Huh, that's interesting to hear. I didn't personally find it harder to add detailed descriptions in Jira back when I used it couple of years back. Wonder if there's anything specific about the experience you can describe that makes you feel GH projects is more friendly for writing.

Roughly half the company are programmers, so we have non-devs working with GH Projects and collaborating on issues.

Colleagues who aren't developers have become more engaged in the process of writing bug reports or giving feedback on product development (or at least, the parts of it that concern them). Some of the non-programmers have admitted that they are surprised by how much they enjoy using GitHub.

That's really nice to hear. I'm glad things worked out for your org.

GitHub marketing folks probably should reach out to you :)
