Over the years, I’ve worked with a lot of tools, but Jira has a special place in my heart. It’s powerful, it’s flexible, and it’s capable of supporting some really complex ways of working. But it’s also incredibly easy to overcomplicate. And once that happens, it stops being helpful and starts being a headache.
When I get pulled into a client project, it’s usually because something’s not working. The system’s grown too fast. Every group built things their own way. Permissions got out of hand. And now the admins are stuck juggling dozens (sometimes hundreds) of configurations, all pulling in different directions.
I’ve seen systems with so many admins and so little oversight that no one actually knows what’s in production anymore. I've seen Jira so customized at the project level that even making a small change feels like defusing a bomb. That’s not what these tools are supposed to do. They’re supposed to make life easier.
My approach, and what we do at TecVeris, is to start by listening. What are your teams doing now? What’s working? What’s breaking? What do you need Jira to do for you? We don’t come in with a pre-set answer. We meet you where you are and work with you to make the system manageable again.
Most of the time, that means simplifying. Standardizing. Putting the right permissions in place. And training people - admins and end users alike - on how to work with the system in a consistent, scalable way. That’s where our templates come in. They give teams a solid foundation to build on, with consistent fields, screens, and dashboards that support actual reporting. When everything follows a standard, your reports make sense and your admins can breathe again.
I’ve always believed tools should work for you - not the other way around. If Jira is slowing your teams down or making more work than it saves, something’s gone off the rails. And the good news is, it can be fixed. It doesn’t have to be painful. You just need the right support, a little empathy, and a clear path forward.
If that sounds like what you need, let’s talk.
