Smart business owners have long known the benefit of focusing on designs that are not only beautiful, but put the user at the heart of a great experience. For many, though, balancing a competing list of priorities means that user experience is often seen as a ‘nice to have’, and takes a back seat.

Jira is a really popular tool for tracking bugs, issues, and project management activities in general so you would think that the wide range of option it offers are just common knowledge at this point, and the adoption of productive integrations and apps has been exploited to the point where it is really hard to do something more effective anymore.

You start working as a Project Manager. If the company is at least the size of Netguru (almost 600 people, including almost 50 PMs, and still growing), after a couple of days you will have this overpowering feeling that it’s impossible to do to your job.

Mobile devices now account for over half of all Internet traffic, with the majority of this traffic dominated by apps. Android, Google’s mobile operating system, leads the global smartphone operating system market with an 81% market share. This, combined with frequent updates and a loyal following of users, makes it a top choice for businesses that think of mobile app development.
