“We
use
JIRA
extensively
for
issue

and
tracking.
Each
team
has
a
project
and
it
is
a
great
way
to

“The
web
interface
is
brilliant
and
easy
to
controls,
things
like:
on-­‐going
task
assignment,
working
hours
reports
and
status
repor6ng
is
done
purely
using
LP.
Today,
our
en6re
development
uses
LP
and
I
can
safely
say,
that
the
overhead
of
project
planning
using
LP
is
almost
nothing.”
