About Jira

With Jira, there's no shortage of ways to stay in the loop. Whether you prefer to receive updates via email, chat, or by checking in on your mobile device, Jira has you covered. At your desk or on the go with the new mobile interface, Jira helps your team get the job done.

Issues are everywhere: Tasks, ideas, and requests are hiding in documents, people's heads, and deep in your inbox. Use Jira to capture and organize your team's issues, prioritize and take action on what's important, and stay up to date with what's going on around you. Jira makes all of this easy, so your team can spend less time managing the work and more time building great software.

Work the way you want: Your process is at the heart of everything you do. Don't shoehorn your team's work into the default workflow defined by your project tracker. Jira has workflows to match your existing processes, that you can easily adapt as your team evolves. Use the tool that fits your team, don't change your team to fit your tool.

Productive, powerful planning: Teams that need to be effective and efficient choose Jira to help them capture, assign, and prioritize their work. Ensure that everyone on your team knows exactly what needs to be done when, then watch the job get done flawlessly. And when you add the power of agile to Jira– with the Jira Agile add-on – you can even plan agile sprints!

Collaborate easily: On any team, it's important that people can easily share information and reach out for help when they need it. JIRA's simple, intuitive interface allows you to collaborate with teammates and get the job done more efficiently. If you think that's awesome, you'll love it even more when you combine JIRA's @mentions and assignment features with the power of Confluence and HipChat.

Visibility at the speed of light: Watch the issues that are most important to you, monitor activity streams, and share information with powerful dashboards, wallboards, and more. With Jira, you'll always know what's going on.

Collect, service, and report: With Jira Service Desk, the Jira platform becomes a modern, flexible service desk experience that streamlines customer requests and boosts your IT team's efficiency.

Agile project management: These days, just keeping track of your work isn't enough – you've got to be agile. Jira Agile adds agile project management to the power of JIRA.

    Jira is a very useful and powerful tool. It makes the project management work easy by providing the necessary sql filters to get the needed data which is helpful in making decisions on the project and tracking

    Pros

    Customizable workflows , where the tool can be customized based on the project type and needs like agile and scrum.
    Powerful issue tracking, where you can track the project issues and you have dashboards to monitor and prioritize
    Multiple plugin options

    Cons

    Though , it is an issue tracking tool , i doesn't have an inbuilt testing toll feature. We need to integrate this with third party tools for testing.
    Availability of lot of plugins are creating chances to over doing the info and makes it complex

    Not the easiest tool to grasp but as it's so popular there's a lot of training that can be provided by more experiences users in the business

    Pros

    It's commonly used, has a lot of useful features to manage tickets and workflows

    Cons

    It's not the most self-intuitive so you only know what you know. There's a lot of hidden features that more experienced users can show you that you never would have discovered

    Overall I think Jira has been one of the least user-friendly software I've come across and the opinion is shared by almost all of my colleagues and peers.

    Pros

    Quite frankly, there's not a lot to like about Jira! Under the right circumstances, used correctly, it might make task management less worse than if not using any software at all...

    Cons

    It doesn't seem to make much sense. People don't know how to use it. It's not user-friendly at all, so everyone ends up frustrated from the managers setting up the tasks to the team members collaborating on them. It just doesn't seem intuitive. It's also slow and glitchy as anything. It takes forever to load, comments disappear, and so on...

    Jira helpful tool to track and manage your projects.

    Reviewed on 25/05/2024

    Pros

    Jira is a great tool that helps you to track and manage different projects within your organization. I am also fond of the time tracking and project management features that offer a wide range of possibilities for the beginners and savvy users.

    Cons

    Setting up your first project and workflow may be a little difficult at the beginning, but luckily Atlassian has made it as easy as possible. Also migrating from hosted to cloud instance may be a quite a headache if done incorrectly, so definitely it would be great to understand your company needs for the long run and then decide how you implement your Jira!
