Dushan Hanuska, JIRA Developer

JIRA team has one week iteration cycles. It means that that we form streams, each stream consists of a single person or a pair (pair programming). At the beginning of an iteration we do some planning. Each stream (support, bug fixing, feature development) gets work allocated. Work pieces are represented by task cards that we put up on the wall and tick off as we progress. Above all, there is a title card.

These are the title cards we artistically created:

JIRA 3.12 Iteration 0 JIRA 3.12 Iteration 1
JIRA 3.12 Iteration 2 JIRA 3.12 Iteration 3
JIRA 3.12 Iteration 4 JIRA 3.12 Iteration 5
JIRA 3.12 Iteration 6 JIRA 3.12 Iteration 7
JIRA 3.12 Iteration 8 JIRA 3.12 Iteration 9
JIRA 3.12 Iteration 10

and some of the older gems:

JIRA 3.10 Iteration 0
JIRA 3.10 Iteration 2
JIRA 3.10 Iteration 8
JIRA 3.11 Iteration 1
JIRA 3.11 Iteration 5
JIRA 3.11 Iteration 7

Hahahah - well done guys - I love the space invaders, Japanese and Movember themed iteration cards.

I work here and I find this amusing :)

I'm not sure how you make any progress on JIRA if you spend all that time making cards

Making software is extremely time consuming. Idle doodles during weekly planning meetings are not.

of course, we couldn't find the 4.04 iteration card...
