&lt;p&gt;I’ve seen teams struggle when bugs live in a separate system from project boards—it often leads to missed priorities. Tools like Jira or monday dev solve that by making bugs visible on the same boards as features. Curious—do others here prefer fully integrated systems, or do you still use separate bug trackers alongside project management tools?&lt;/p&gt;
