I watched Margin Call. The huddling that goes on between the higher ups and the peons when the chips are down is what JIRA does for companies every day. If the firm in that movie had been using JIRA (and it it were real life and not a movie); I believe they would have had daily, much better communications and coordination and could have avoided the whole scenario the movie is about. Spoiler alert, Spacey's character's dog would still have died.

The poorly optimized performance of JIRA almost makes me believe they don't even use their own product. Perhaps performance is on the backlog of the backlog.
