Jira

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

It is part of Atlassian so there are potential benefits of utilizing multiple products from their suite.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

They do offer good support, education, and community for their products.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Feels highly limited and restrictive. Some parts of that are great as they allow team leaders to set up the work and the team to execute....but in some ways it is frustrating & creates unnecessary internal bureaucracy or communications instead of things being able to get executed in self directed, autonomous fashion.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Sign up for free trials or even pay for a month of a couple different tools. Put key team members in each environment and see which one works best for product management for your company + team.

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

We use Jira to manage our team's tasks and projects, schedule sprints and milestones, classify tickets based on priority and category, and manage workflows. This has immensely assisted our team by allowing us to track our progress and appropriately distribute work among team members. When the team size was larger, tracking progress was more difficult. Jira assists me in streamlining the tracking process when there is a large team engaged. Another issue I was having was sharing the progress report in a clear and succinct manner that was easier for a non-technical person to understand.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Jira's support for custom fields, task kinds, filtering options, swimlanes, and sprint organization approaches is fantastic. I also like how custom swimlanes can be used to denote which phase of a development workflow a specific ticket belongs to. Jira's activity tracking is likewise quite simple and thorough. One of the most appealing elements of Jira that drew my attention was the customized workflow. Advanced search and filtering are also highly valued. It is impressive how quickly search results are supplied. Another appealing feature is the option to customize the dashboard and show content in a variety of ways.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't like how Jira may be difficult for new users to comprehend; yet, with the quantity of options accessible to Jira users, this is nearly hard to prevent. With such adaptable software, complexity is unavoidable, and I don't blame Jira for it. I can't think of anything else about the program that I detest.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you want a thorough way to organize a complicated project, I definitely suggest Jira. If you're replacing previous tracking software, get ready for fantastic Jira features. Jira isn't cheap, so be sure you're getting your money's worth. Train your team to make the best use of Jira.
