You joke, but I know an actual couple that has a “family” Jira instance. They have tickets for household todo items like “Paint fence”.

I’m not sure about performance reporting but I think overall velocity has gone down despite their team size growing in recent years. I think the new members aren’t contributing much yet in the way of story points.



I worked with a sysadmin that did this for his kids, and even moved chore assignments around automatically based on grades (which he scraped from some school portal). Get a D and you'll have to do your sister's chores!


I find in this situation that new member onboarding can unfortunately take years


My wife and I use Trello for stuff like this. Though the main use case is as the world's most reliable checklist-syncing program for grocery shopping. The task tracking is also nice


Does that couple also work at the same company as product managers?
