I see marketing-speak for how this is so much easier than other tools like JIRA (which we use.) However, I'm not finding details about how this is accomplished.

What are the key differentiators in how this is easier specific to those that use JIRA?

Great question and thanks for pointing it out -- we'll make sure to address this on the website.

In a Jira workflow, there's a lot of customization required and a lot of thought needed to go into how to set up your workflow. Leantime is intended to be "opinionated" in the way that it's already set up -- each work function already has a home. The thing you have to decide is how you want to see the tasks.

Our "home" screen is intended for individual users to have pre-defined organization and not needing to set up their own dashboards either.

The other approach we do differently is to work to engage ICs in the value of the work and we do that by making the goals and work more clear. Some of this is still being developed out and rounded out better by our AI features -- which can be better read about here and how we view it in relationship to our own ADHD and the features behind it... https://leantime.io/2023/07/30/the-top-digital-planner-for-a....

Lastly, for Confluence fans, we come default with docs and (on cloud) we have whiteboards. Some of which will be coming out in plugins to OSS here soon.
