#Iwish jira could make coffee #RetroOnAgile pic.twitter.com/y8pQsqpmul— gonelf (@gonelf) March 7, 2018

#IWish @JIRA would let me story point my sub-tasks and roll up the points. Purist is not always pragmatic. #RetroOnAgile— Kyle Rozendo (@RozendoZA) January 23, 2018

— Juni Mukherjee (@JuniTweets) January 23, 2018

#IWish people would move their sub-tasks along the Agile board without having to be reminded #RetroOnAgile— Diana MacPherson (@dianamacpherson) January 23, 2018

#IWish Teams won't declare agile victory prematurely by merely doing stand-ups.

Unless we invest in: a) a single prioritized backlog b) KPIs and a DoD that we can get behind, and c) feel empowered,

standing up won't help. We might as well sit and do some work. #RetroOnAgile pic.twitter.com/3ou448YLbw— Juni Mukherjee (@JuniTweets) January 23, 2018

#IWish that stakeholders, peer-reviewers, & quality team-members could star an assignee's work on a ticket. #RetroOnAgile pic.twitter.com/9tqkpSGgyP— Dan Chuparkoff (@Chuparkoff) January 24, 2018

#IWish there was out-of-the-box integration between my automated unit tests and the columns of my scrum board. #RetroOnAgile— Dan Chuparkoff (@Chuparkoff) January 31, 2018
