Are JIRA usage questions on topic here?

I recently asked https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/442697/adding-todos-for-myself-to-jira-issues-assigned-to-others, and it was quickly closed (and poorly received by multiple users) with a reason stating that it belonged on SO.

This is fine; I'll happily move it to another site if needed, but I was under the impression that it was on topic for this site.

There are a number of well-received questions tagged JIRA here, and the question does relate to software development lifecycles in a professional context. I've always looked at SO as more of a coding help site, rather than as a site for larger scale development topics. Additionally, JIRA (at least our usage of it), is very closely tied to our software development strategies and workflow. So I believe this question to be on topic here.

However, those top-voted questions are also a bit old, so perhaps something changed. Also, I can understand that my question isn't directly about development strategies for a specific piece of software.

Is this question OK here and, if not, where (if anywhere) does my question belong?
