Old Jira view

How to change back to the old Jira view

Jira is a great tool for organizing teams around tasks. A few months ago they started to roll out the Jira’s new layout. When I first saw it I felt blind and I clearly remember it was a rainy Monday when we first met. I don’t really know why companies make so radical changes.

Why they can’t just make these changes slowly so this way people can learn, notice the differences between the layouts?

I guess the initial goal was to improve the user experience and efficiency as we talk about a project management tool. Well, I was really frustrated so I decided to revert it back to layout I get used to it.

I talked to several colleagues and they had the same horrible user experience. Bravo!
