If we use Jira, then use Jira. I need to see a roadmap. Eg. when my TL showed the spreadsheet that has an ordering for a ticket, that gave me needed clarity on the next steps.

Lesson: when onboarding to a new project, ask: where are we tracking the work that needs to get done for this project? Not all teams or even developers standardize across a company, so it’s good to touch-base to make sure we all have the same assumptions on what needs to be done next to accomplish the task.

As a foot soldier, not knowing this is demotivating because I don’t know what we’re shooting for. Project management is such an important meta-skill .
