Jira vs Trello
Jira started first, in 2002, 9 years before Trello.
Why Jira lasted
- Enterprises do not migrate issue trackers. They hire admins.
- The workflow engine is a trap and a moat. Once your process lives there, it is a fossil layer.
Why Trello lasted
- A board you can see across the room. The metaphor is the product.
- Atlassian bought it and did not fully Jira-ify the first screen.
