"Teams need clearer pictures of resource availability in charts and dashboards along with plans."

"In Jira, sometimes developers are not getting alerts when Jira is moving out of the SLA to the product development team."
"There is always a bit of a performance problem. It's a bit slow to load the whole data."
"The performance and stability are visibly degrading since the database has been growing every year."
"From the project management perspective, I would say there are a lot of different issues that could be tweaked. There can be small improvements with traceability, for example."
