Description

This  week on The Jira Life, we’re going head-to-head in The Great Agile Debate with special guest Bryan Guffey. The question on the table: Is Jira killing Agile?
We’ll dig into:

 ⚡️ Whether Jira supports or stifles true Agile values
  ⚡️How teams adapt their tools vs. bend their process
  ⚡️Common mistakes that give Agile a bad name
  ⚡️Where Atlassian’s AI assistant Rovo fits into the future of Agile work

Expect strong opinions, fresh perspectives, and a no-fluff conversation about how Agile is practiced in the real world, and whether Jira is part of the solution or part of the problem.
