Reposted by Tom KramerAllen Holub @allenholub.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I've worked with no backlog at all—feedback from the current thing told me what to do next. Huge backlogs and the tools required to support them are phase-gated (waterfall) up-front planning. Jira manages that bureaucratic planning system. 2/3 171 7
Reposted by Tom KramerAllen Holub @allenholub.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Tools like Jira are bureaucracy-management tools, not Agile tools. You don't need a backlog at all to get work done—a handful of index cards or stickies work just fine, and more than a couple of weeks' work in that pile is too much. 1/3 4142 14
