Failure modes to watch

Keep this in mind.Teams slip on Jira in four familiar ways. Each makes a soft assumption look like a precise number.

One blanket rule. Applying Jira the same way everywhere. Split it by audience, channel, and business model.
No context. Reporting Jira with no baseline. A bare number cannot be judged.
Wrong target. Treating Jira as the goal. The goal is the outcome it predicts.
Apples to oranges. Comparing Jira across firms raw. Adjust for pricing and cycle before you read it.

What goes wrong with Jira most often?
