"In Jira, say on the team, no matter the methodology, it doesn't matter what I'm practicing, if I am using the tool for a while and I've compiled some sort of history.

"The CACD solutions on JIRA has some plugins, but they are not easily understandable or workable."
"I'd like to see better notetaking capabilities so every user can get notes when someone provides comments on a Jira ticket. So if they don't want to provide the comments on the Jira ticket, they can get the personal notes in a Jira tool for every profile."

"Jira is a little bit old fashioned, it could be more user friendly."
