请问HN:深度技术——为什么Jira和Confluence成为首选的项目管理工具?
我对在硬科技和深科技领域(如航空航天、航空、海事、核能、生物科技/制药等)工作的朋友们感到非常好奇——为什么Jira和Confluence仍然是项目管理的主要工具?
Atlassian是为软件工作流程而设计的,所以我理解为什么软件团队依赖它。但对于硬件或运营密集型团队来说,我一直觉得这似乎不太合适。
以下是我认为硬件/运营团队仍在使用它的原因,但我很想听听其他人的看法。
1) 监管和数据安全要求(如ITAR、出口管制、验证系统等)使团队被迫使用他们组织多年前已经批准的工具。
2) 传统和惯性。Jira和Confluence已经存在很久,大多数公司已经在使用它们,没有人想成为那个尝试引入新工具的人。
3) “至少大家都知道怎么用。” 在混合组织中(主承包商<>供应商<>测试机构<>客户),Jira和Confluence是人们可以达成共识的最低共同工具,即使它们并不完全合适。
4) 没有人想要采用或支付另一个系统。硬件团队已经在处理电子表格、幻灯片、GSE数据库、准备跟踪器等。Jira和Confluence“足够好”,所以他们继续使用。
如果Jira和Confluence并不适合硬件/运营工作,那么一个更好的工具实际上需要具备哪些功能?而什么又会使得采用新工具变得困难?

Genuinely curious for folks working in hard tech and deep tech (industries like aerospace, aeronautics, maritime, nuclear, biotech/pharma, etc.) -- why are Jira and Confluence still the prominent tools for project management?<p>Atlassian was built for software workflows, so I get why software teams rely on it. But for hardware/ops-heavy teams, it always felt like an odd fit to me.<p>My take for why hardware/ops teams still use it are below but I'm curious to hear other people's opinions.<p>1) Regulatory + data security requirements (ITAR, export control, validated systems, etc.) box teams into whatever their org already approved years ago.//
2) Heritage + inertia. Jira/Confluence have been around forever, most companies already use them, and no one wants to be the person who tries to introduce something new.//
3) “At least everyone knows how to use it.” In mixed orgs (prime <> supplier <> test house <> customer), Jira/Confluence are the lowest common denominator tools people can agree on, even if they're a bad fit.//
4) No one wants to adopt or pay for another system. Hardware teams already juggle spreadsheets, slides, GSE databases, readiness trackers, etc. Jira and Confluence are “good enough,” so they stick.<p>If Jira and Confluence aren't a great fit for hardware/ops work, what would a better tool actually need to do? And what would make adoption difficult?
