The agile framework works well, and I pretty much live by that. Everything, such as sprint management, is laid out.

It is easy to use and implement. It provides me with pretty much everything that I need to be able to do day-to-day planning, task management, and work log efficacy.

It is a great centralized tool for everything. You can use it for your local team management to communicate with your developers. You can also use it for your management team and for communicating with subcontractors to keep track of work products, work logs, and perform at the minute status.

I like the Sprint board. 

In Jira, the integrations I have used so far are the repository integration, like when it gets added, or the integration with Confluence, which is good. Both work great, Confluence as well as Bitbucket integration.

Jira’s customization ability and workflows in boards is beneficial. We have already seen some workflow setups, so the flexibility and that feature is there. And we do ask for some custom page flow if needed. So, that's good.

Jira is designed for issue tracking, making the process much easier than traditional methods like paper-based tracking. It is number one for agile management.

Jira's reporting and analytics features provide a clear picture of what happens, making them good. I use it in my work.

I like its ease of use. It doesn't require too much training. Even if I gave it to someone who hasn't gotten Jira experience, I feel like it's simple enough for them to figure it out. 

It's not that complex, which is quite nice. And the fact that you can run reports quite easily. You know, the actual visual side is quite nice. You can tag people to it. I think all of that makes it a simple tool that's easy to interact and collaborate with.

Jira's native support for agile practices, including Scrum and Kanban boards, allowed our development team to embrace agile methodologies seamlessly. This enabled them to prioritize features, plan sprints, and adapt to evolving client needs more effectively.            

Jira's user-specific dashboards and reporting capabilities provided insights into individual and team performance. This promoted accountability and allowed our development team to recognize and reward high-performing team members.

There are various versions of Jira. Help desk process, using ITIL, planning a new product from scratch, marketing, task management, and team management can be done in Jira. We use automatic print preview settings and visualization of the progress. We can link all of our information in Jira into Confluence to do live meetings with live data. We have a lot of templates in Confluence for any business or team meeting we need.

The reporting and analytics features make it easy to calculate team velocity. We can track time and effort. It's very easy to generate burn-down and burn-up charts for Agile teams. It also has many useful automatic charts for help desk services. I haven’t used it much, though. We can integrate a lot of tools with the solution.

I like how easy it is to collaborate. We can add comments and tag specific people, which is useful for both onshore and offshore teams. Here, we can tag the person easily, and Jira updates. The commenting feature keeps everyone updated on what work has been done. Jira has a lot of versatility, which makes it a handy tool.

Within Jira, we can tag stories by the current sprint and associate them with the developer working on them. We also use Jira to track story points and progress based on status. Once a story is ready for QA, the QA team can create sub-tasks directly in Jira and start their work. 

So, Jira is great for story management, but I'd like to see better tracking of employees' daily status for improved visibility for higher-level stakeholders.

In our organization, we use Jira for project management and usually use the Scrum project type. We might adjust the workflows and stages to better suit our needs, but we mostly use the default functionalities it offers to manage our projects.

It's flexible and customizable, and we frequently use it with customized workflows and dashboards to track defects. Jira works well with tools like TestRail and Clarity, which help with test management. It has various APIs.

Jira's reporting and analytics features support project management by providing useful out-of-the-box reports. These include burn-down charts for Agile project management and various other reports. These default reports typically cover around 60 percent of users' needs. Users can customize their reports and dashboards for the remaining needs, which usually fulfill about 80-85 percent of requirements. Add-ons can be used for the remaining small gap.

The tool mainly supports remote or distributed team collaboration through its cloud version, accessible from anywhere. Within Jira, you can communicate effectively with team members by assigning issues, leaving comments, and referencing people for notifications. While direct communication features within the tool are decent but not outstanding, integration with tools like Slack or Teams can enhance collaboration further.

The most valuable feature of Jira for sprint planning is the timeline feature, which allows for better visualization and planning of releases. However, there are limitations compared to other tools like TFS, which offer more flexibility with features like user stories, epics, and initiatives without extra fees. Despite this, Jira's ease of adding user stories to sprints and connecting them to releases is very good.

The solution is great for helping teams to collaborate.

There are tons of apps and add-ons for the solution that help you expand its offering via third parties.

The product allows you to become very structured in your approach to work.

You no longer need to email people. You can mention them right in Jira and have conversations there. 

It's easy to extract data and do queries.

Linking the issues to members in the team and outside the team has been valuable. Jira's reporting and analytics features are very important for analyzing the entire sprint activity at the end or middle of the sprint. The tool helps track the capacity, velocity, assignments, and different team members’ activities. We can track the entire sprint speed. The burndown charts help track projects. Over time, the tool has completely adapted to our project's scanning needs. We use it however we want and change the settings as we want. So it's quite adaptive.

View full review »

The solution's most valuable features revolve around the dashboard view, which has a burndown chart indicating progress. I also like the tool's ability to provide details phase-wise, allowing users to see how many tickets are in development and how many are in the testing process. It also helps users see how many tickets are ready to move to the production phase. The aforementioned areas of the tool are pretty frequently used.

I have experience with Jira's bulk tracking and issue management. We use it to add new features to our product, fix bugs, and address customer feedback.

The features I find most valuable for work and team productivity are creating subtasks and tracking their completion. Additionally, reporting features such as burnout charts and task reporting are quite valuable for us. 

The tool's integration capabilities with other tools are quite nice. It's an open tool that easily integrates with third-party products like Microsoft Project and GitHub. Integrations work smoothly; we've also integrated it with requirement management tools per our needs.

The solution's maintainability, user-friendliness, and learning curve are all very good. We can use the solution's queries to filter everything and get the data out for business processes. Jira queries can be used for different types of deployment automation processes.

The product provides high flexibility to create new workflows quickly. There isn't much work. We use it to track developers' and other IT personnel's time.

It was easy to use. The consultants that we had on board were familiar with it. So, obviously, having a community that had used it before or was familiar with it was a positive thing.

The solution's most valuable feature is that I used the tool to deal with bugs. In my project, with the bug assigned to me by my company, I was given the backlog and the code. Whenever I had to add it, I used to request Git for code push, pull, and merge, and then I used to paste that GitID into Jira. It was very easy for the other developers to handle whatever code I did.

The licensing is transparent. 

It's a stable solution.

Scaling the product wouldn't be difficult. 

Whether you are an expert in Agile or just it's the first time you are talking about it, it's a very user-friendly tool. It's a very simple tool. It's not complicated and even the integration and the usage is very simple. You don't need to be an expert. 

Whether you have small teams or big teams, it's the right tool.

The most valuable feature for me has been tagging. Also, there's the option to add task lists to each user story. In addition, user stories can be grouped into one feature, which allows us to visualize our progress. The burndown chart is also helpful when it comes to reporting and allows us to know where we are going, especially during development.

Jira improved our team collaboration by providing visual visibility and transparency. Everyone could see what tasks were being worked on and the progress made. The development team updated task statuses, making tracking progress and planning sprints easy. If there were any impediments or challenges, we addressed them. This process helped us track our progress.

What I find most valuable in Jira is overall architecture, especially the ability to create dashboards. This feature allows me to gain insights into my projects.

Jira's reporting and analytics features have been super helpful for me in managing my projects. I can easily generate reports and create dashboards to track progress. I can export data to Excel, making it easier to work with outside Jira. The filters in Jira also make it simple to get exactly the data I need.

The tool has been really helpful for our remote team, especially with all our scrum events like daily stand-ups. Having Jira right there during those meetings helps us discuss tasks and settings easily. Plus, it integrates with Microsoft Teams, which we've found handy. It gives us a clear picture of what everyone's working on, so if there's a lack of progress on something, we can quickly address it through Slack or a call.

The integration of other open source tools with Jira is very useful. It allows us to create documents and transcriptions, making it versatile beyond software development. Jira was originally developed for IT projects, but it can also be effectively utilized for non-IT sectors. It enables tracking and maintenance of projects outside the IT domain as well. I recommend the solution.

The reporting feature is very beneficial. Customers can report using the predefined report template.

The workflow is fine, but it's only integrated within Jira and not with other tools. Additionally, the SQL query is also very helpful.

Jira is a very comprehensive and flexible product. It's easy to set up, easy to learn, and is very user-friendly. If you're using the cloud version from Atlassian, there are no issues with maintenance or performance. I especially like the advanced planning features in the premium version and there are plenty of apps available if any functionality is missing.

The workflow is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us.

The user story map is excellent. The features can be composed into stories and they can be allocated to each of the sprints in a program increment. It allows you to see all that in the user story map, and you have various dashboards to see the stories in various views. You can see them as a backlog view, for example, or you can see as an actual sprint view.

There are excellent reports that come out of the data for every sprint so that you can do metrics on each. You can measure how the team is performing with respect to burn down charts, or with respect to how many story points were produced, or how many stories were moved out. For this, you can gauge the performance of the teams very effectively.

I enjoy working with (and can recommend) Jira for a number of reasons. The best features are that it is friendly and provides good visibility. It's to the point and very effective.

When I start work with a company, one of the promises I give them is that they will get visibility, and very quickly at that. We are able to easily create boards and have the teams start work with story points. Then, we will make use of the Structure feature, which is another good feature that we get benefit from.

As an engineer, I like that it provides you blocks to put in comments, code, etc. It helps in giving better information.

Another thing that I like a lot about Jira is that in the dashboard, you can plug the modules that you want. You can enable certain sections. For example, you can show trend history, open Jira tickets, etc. Some of the managers have created a dashboard for each engineer. So, it allows you to do all sorts of things.

The thing that was helpful, in my opinion, was the reporting. I was able to do real-time reports myself without having to wait for data import. 

The product has lots of dashboards that could be created also in Confluence using Jira features. I really like that. I am able to make it transparent to everyone where we're standing in regards to, for example, test automation or test coverage. We could easily integrate Confluence with Jira, produce some handmade dashboards, or use the dashboarding inside Jira itself with the various reporting options there.

There is a very flexible configuration of "issues" and related life cycle. On top of it, the number of "add-ons" is overwhelming and of very good quality. I would consider the reporting capabilities to be the best feature, as ultimately the visibility of issues allows management of the projects.

Multiple features make this product a delight to use. Using this for backlog prioritization is the key to either kanban or scrum processes. JIRA does a great job of articulating the story and adding elements to the story to help in the prioritization. If you are overseeing multiple projects, it allows you to easily follow the teams progress.

Another feature is the ability to incorporate add-ons. It’s great to have for those one-off processes you need. For example, the integration with Confluence.

I don't need to train anyone to use it, I just give them access and they can use it to add comments, move their issues, change the status, monitor, read, and so on. For these results, it is very helpful. I also like the customization that we had for the workflows for the different issues, it's quick and easy to customize. The reporting is also easy and the dashboards that they provide are really helpful and simple. It does not need a lot of experience with reporting and presentation to get to what you need. Also, most of the advanced reports that you need to create can be exported as Excel files.

Something that I have been looking to understand or learn more about is how to integrate Scaled Agile and their work types into the Jira.

I'm from a QA background and we used to do automation. It was far easier to link JIRA with our QA automation frameworks because JIRA has a lot of public APIs that we could use. Also, the burndown charts and the ability to manage different frameworks of the adjoint model are helpful. We could use scrum in one project or Kanban. So it was easy to manage the transition from one framework to another. Those are the things I found useful, but I haven't seen the case of TFS yet.

It's a very powerful product. It works well with Confluence. It interacts with it well.

There are very advanced features in Jira compared to, for example, ServiceNow.

You can record your unit testing, regression testing, UATs, et cetera. With a wider universe of applications, it's very flexible. 

I'm not totally a business analyst, however, a business analyst, can really, really use it very deeply due to the fact that you can register the results and create your test cases, run them, and document the results. All the testing is very advanced in Jira and it's very nice.

The value of this product is that it offers a common language set so we can bring people into projects and get them up and running almost immediately. We know the language. It's the training and education content that's key and there's enough out there, whether it's paid training or free training, that gets people up to speed pretty quickly.

One of the most valuable aspects of the solution is the fact that everything is traced on one ticket on Jira. We know exactly what has been done and what is left and we share the same feasibility we are assigned. We don't have to wait for team updates or emails or calls or even reminders. We just need to look at the same ticket and we know in real-time exactly what is happening. Without Jira, I don't see how we would be able to manage and trace in a very consistent, effective way.  At least, not across all of our development initiatives.

I have never been trained on Jira, to be honest. However, it's easy to navigate. Even for somebody who is never on it, it's very simple to pick up and understand. The only caveat is that when you get a bit more in detail, or you have some business requirements, you don't have documentation that you can just go and consult to enrich your portal or access.

One aspect of Jira that is very nice is that we are able to integrate other tools that our company is using. For example, we do use Salesforce for our support team and that's linked to Jira. Slack, as well, is also integrated into the system. It makes everything so much easier.

View full review »

I like seeing which tickets are open and what our response rate is. They have a lot of good metrics in their system to see what's going on.

I interface it with Slack, and that's a positive. We get our notifications in Slack, so everybody doesn't have to be an agent in their world for us to see everything, which is a positive.

I like the comment section. When you create a Jira task and work on it, sometimes product owners need to know the most recent status. I can go to the comments and then provide my updates stating how far I am. They can also refer to it and they can comment on it. It's for collaborating with other team members.

I also like using the filters in Jira. I can label all of the Jira tasks based on different business areas or whatever category I want. I can filter something that is related to what I've been working on. For example, if I am interested in APIs, I can filter all the Jira tasks with the API label and get all the API-related tasks, check the progress and where they stand. 

I can also get access to documentation such as the tester data and the other things that other developers have provided.

The solution is easy to use. It's pretty dynamic. It allows us to basically handle everything that we need in terms of a backlog, and we're trying to do it in an organized manner, so we know who works on what and how to size the story points so we can ensure that our epics burn down from sprint to sprint.

In terms of the general way that the tool functions, it seems like it's a pretty good fit-for-purpose for what we're trying to do. We've never thought about replacing it with another technology. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

The stability is pretty good.

The most valuable feature is Jira Align, which is a plugin that helps you to understand the progress that is made against each epic. I have had limited exposure to it but by using Align, we can also see the progress concerning Initiatives, including progress made against the requirements.

In general, Jira Align is very useful for management. It allows them to see the big picture and what is really happening from a team-execution point of view. Being able to see progress against their Initiatives is a nice feature.

The UI is good, and it helps us to see what needs to be done to complete our sprints.

The hardest part of my job is understanding the business and communicating with difficult stakeholders and difficult people on the squad who are resistant to change and agile methodology. The fact that Jira was so simple to understand was a huge boon in my book because I didn't have to waste time trying to learn the tool to get work done and move the squad along. It was very easy to understand.

As a scrum master, I run daily stand-ups, and they are run directly from Jira. During these stand-ups, to make sure that there are no impediments, I run through all of the open issues and action items that the team members have. The feature that I really love in Jira is called Issue Navigator. It allows me to customize how I want to show the user stories within Jira to my squad. 

I can use Jira Query Language (JQL) to write queries to see the stories that are there for the current sprint. I can also sort them by assignment. I am able to call each assignee and have them walk through the status of what they did yesterday, what do they plan to do for the next 24 hours, and if there are any blockers or impediments.

I also use Jira is for burndown charts. A burndown chart provides a visual depiction of how quickly the squad is closing out user stories. It gives us an indication of how efficiently the squad is performing. I also use the Active Sprints function and a feature called Planning Poker. Planning Poker is an add-on, and it allows me to work with my squad members to estimate the complexity of user stories. It allows me to estimate user stories in an unbiased way with my squad members. It is important that people are not piggybacking on other people's estimates, so when a business requests a functionality, I use Planning Poker to have people send me their estimates in an unbiased way. They cannot see what other people have estimated. This way, they have their own unbiased view on specific user-requested functionality and its worth. After that, we end up talking out like, "Why did you think it was a three? Why did the other person think it was a five?" So, it allows an unbiased way of estimating user stories.

Issue linking has enabled teams to trace issues.

I like the dashboards and Kanban boards.

The development links to GitHub are critical.

Perfect for keeping track of large amounts of bugs, tasks queries and releases for fixes. 

The SaaS does the job it is supposed to: helps you keep track of your projects. What I like most is the ease of adding users and the obvious nature of what they need to do -  drag and drop is always a win. 

It is cross methodology so Scrum, Kanban... it doesn't matter, you can use JIRA.

I like how it shows the sprints remaining. Being able to instantly see where you are in a project and what is coming up is invaluable. 

Also, the ability to link a programme of projects is very helpful. I can see where all of the teams are with their individual projects but also how they fit into the overarching business plan for the year.

If you're using it in an agile shop, the traceability between epic story's test case defects is very helpful.

Jira has a good dashboard. If I'm running an automated test script on different levels, say API automated or UI automated, and want to track automation status in the dashboard, I can get the overall status. I know how many cases are automated with the API or the UI and how many cannot be automated. It's a good feature.

The layout, workflow, automation, and metrics are helpful in Jira.

The flexibility of defining your columns that can possibly contain multiple statuses is important. When you have teams that are different levels of granularity, the C levels, only care that it is in progress, but the leads want to know that it is in QA or development. You can accomplish these types of things with JIRA.

What I like about this product is how you can manage from the project to the deployment, even using Bamboo or using Bitbucket.

The thing that I do like about Jira is that it is relatively easy to understand. In some respects, you don't have to read a lot of ticket information, and you can start pulling down. Everybody is using it, and it works for a lot of people who are just doing enterprise development, cloud-based development, and things like that. It is built for the general audience. 

It is a good defect tracking tool. It has a lot of capabilities and functionalities. There are a lot of graphs and a lot of tracking. It can be sprint-driven if you want. There is a lot of data that you can pull out for estimations. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities that are kind of like the Jazz platform for out-of-the-box scrum and other such things. 

It also works well with all the integrated tools that you buy.

Jira is very user friendly, easy to install, and easy to access. The most valuable feature in Jira is release management. You can also manage a consolidated dashboard that can be accessed globally by all the team members. We can do all this with Jira while engaging in development. 

One of the key benefits is that it's a single repository for all your SDLC. Based on the user ID and password, anyone can access it, and they also have a single sign-on. It's not that very complicated to do issue management with Jira. We can also pull Jira data and generate quality metrics that can be used for the overall optimization of the test execution.

When we get a sign-off for a management request, we must catch it in our email inbox. Now we can get the sign-off through Jira, and I've automated this. For example, we can get the Jenkins pipeline results for every build we create and have that result plugged into Jira. So when we run the Jenkins pipeline, the build is already automatically connected to Jira. We've been able to integrate the ecosystem we created using this automation tool. If you open Jira, you get the development tab there, so you can find out everything a company made under this Jira or what brand is created under this Jira. As a developer, I find this feature valuable.

As a user of the Jira, rather than an administrator, the custom dashboard and custom filter are some of the best features from my perspective.

I can manage my own dashboard and by logging into my account every day, I can get information about the day's tasks assigned to me. I can also see my timeline chart, and using that, I can see and understand what has been done in the last week/month.

I have added a gadget on my dashboard that gives me regular updates on the bugs reported by the QA team.

The way we can quickly see in which state a task stands — with everything classified by columns. It's easy to know who is taking care of what. For instance, if I want to know how busy the person in charge of QA is, I can easily see what staff members are working for him via a little face icon or a tower. I can see who is responsible for what tasks. The board gives you a quick summary of the workload of everybody on the team.

The most valuable feature is the feature of assigning. Whenever I have an issue, Jira doesn't stop at just letting me describe the issue. I can also assign the issue to a developer, and the developer gets notified about it. After he is able to work on it, he can update the status and revert back to me through the same platform. It really avoids a lot of communication over email and phone. This the feature that I really like about Jira. I always use Jira with my team.

JIRA gives you all the features you need for organizing your work within one team and across teams in a very efficient and structured way. It is more than just a ticketing system and more than just a project management tool.

It is very user-friendly and very structured which makes it very easy to ask people from non-technical departments to come and join you within JIRA projects.

The amount of plugins is astounding, and many of them have a surprisingly high quality. While some are free, some other plugins are very expensive, but at the same time worth the money (at least this is what I think).

JIRA could be basically used to organize the work of a whole company, which is why it is so valuable.

JIRA comes with a workflow designer which allows to design and keep track of execution of pretty much any process (similar to what a BPM solution would do but cheaper). In the new or existing workflows you can define new "statuses" which you can use as "Queues" to handle your process status or requests.

In principle, JIRA was designed to follow software development projects, but we are also using it as a solution for our call centers to follow on "Learning Administration System" processes.

It allows you to extend and define any new entities (record types), define sub-tasks, links between records as well as define new fields, screens and customize your UI based on your needs.

It also integrates very well with other applications thanks to its Restful API. In my case I integrated with JIRA from Webmethods EAI middleware as well as from SQL Server 2014 SSIS.

JIRA has a marketplace where many plug-ins are available (some for free) to extend any missing features, as well as it comes with an SDK to create your own one if needed. In fact, this is one of the biggest potentials from my point of view.

Among others Atlassian (JIRA's company) has two powerful plug-ins

• Service Desk (to control SLAs in top of your processes) - actually not a plug-in a product on top of JIRA.
• JIRA Agile which allows to follow Soft Dev Projects using SCRUM or KANBAN methodology.

The Jira user interface is really helpful because you can see the big picture regardless of what stage the task is at. You can define priorities and estimate times. If, for example, you're planning to move to Scrum, you need a project management tool; JIRA is perfect for that. It can also be used on personal projects because they offer a free plan with unlimited features to manage your project, define your backlog, and check the status of a project. 

The solution comes with multiple reporting charts so you can see the sprint burndown chart and other information. We previously had our own internal tools for Scrum, and moving to Jira was a total upgrade. There's no need to create new accounts for your users. You integrate company emails with an internal server, grant the user access and with their  company credentials, they can log into the platform. That's a pretty good feature.

The simplicity of Jira is the part that I like the most, as well as the way in which it can be extended. For example, I like that you can send data to and from Jira easily, and it integrates well with lots of third-party plugins.

The most valuable features or functions that I have found in this software are several but mainly that it is a platform that gives the user the option to customize its interface to the point that it can be fully adapted to the team that implements it. This generates a great advantage since it is much easier for users to adapt to it and be able to work in a much more comfortable and highly effective way, in addition to providing tools that can be followed up on tasks or projects and give priority to them. It is really useful because in this way the team can focus on those who need a much closer delivery date.

From my point of view, the NextGen Project in the cloud solution is really easy to start up with and it's quite flexible in how you put up columns and move issues and tickets throughout the status and columns that you put up. 

It's really flexible. From the Atlassian point of view, I can see they are moving towards more Next-Gen Project handling. The features from the Classical Projects are being continuously rolled out towards Next-Gen Projects. Of course, there's still lots of ground to cover.

It's really smart how they connected third-party vendors into their own marketplace. You can create and add apps. Anybody can do it. There's some approval function or a step via the Atlassian team to be able to actually endorse your apps throughout their marketplace. However, it's very smart to have collaboration between the company and third parties. Whatever functionality is lacking, there's most likely an app for it. 

I've seen some updates and subscriptions where you can get newsfeeds if you subscribe. They are focused on making the solution as responsive as possible. For instance, they have enabled some features called Project Archiving. If you're done with some project work, you could choose to archive everything related to it. Therefore, it won't be upfront taking resources from your solution, however, you'd still have access to it in the future.

The most valuable features in Jira are the dashboard, reports, and boards that help us to control the advancement of the project.

The boards also help us to determine our velocity, and if we reach the release date it helps to determine which issues need to be moved in the event they will not be finished on time.

Maintained by a big company. Simple installation process. Extremely customizable. Front-to end exposure (repository, issue tracking, feature management, etc.). Enormous user base with lots of exposure. Add-on plugins. Excellent documentation and support. We can take advantage of the 10 user certificates of confluence and green hopper.

2. It provides us with a view of historic changes that are recorded
3. It allows universal searches, even across multiple projects in JIRA, when we want to find the JIRA where a keyword was referenced

Large user base. Great for tracking defects but that's not really all it can do. It is used for tracking "issues" in general. Issues can include Defects, Change Requests, Requirements, User Stories (Agile), Sprint Planning (Agile), Progress Tracking, etc. The pricing is also excellent and they offer flexible subscription plans. Great technical support being a commercial product. Quite stable as hardly seen any downtime in the few years I've used it in different companies. View full review »

We have found the structure, functionality, and how Jira handles the tickets most valuable.
