Jira Product Discovery vs. IdeaScale

It's a great tool for early stage ideation and prioritization in order to get alignment across product, design, and engineering. It works really well when teams are trying to consolidate scattered ideas into one validated pipeline. The scoring model and ability to link ideas directly to our regular Jira makes it easy to prepare for roadmap views

Ideascale is well suited for open innovation, private campaigns and sharing of knowledge across multiple organizations and boundaries.

• Timeline view of ideas and the way you can group these into different views is fantastic.
• The ability to have connections to the main idea as sub ideas before reaching our delivery teams.
• Admin and feature controlls are great and getting even better.
• Recycling fields and goals from the other Atlassian products makes things easier to see and understand.

• IdeaScale allows open and quick interaction.
• Campaign moderation is a breeze.
• Creation of the campaigns is very simple.

• Advanced Reporting and Analysis: Reporting options are somewhat limited. It would be more helpful if it’s more customisable dashboards
• better Support for cross project visibility: it is challenging to see dependencies overlaps across different projects. It could’ve been improved
• More flexible roadmap customisations: Here customisation options are limited, formatting options could be improved

• The reporting platform needs improvement to make it easier to show results directly from the system.
• It takes time and effort to get traffic in the tool.

Jira Product Discovery is good because it offers a lot in the way of centralising processes for bug management and its intake. However, it is not going to score higher as it has limited reporting and integration features. It also isnt setup to give updates via email to case loggers which would be really good

productboard is my favorite, but that one is more Product oriented where Atlassian Jira Product Discovery seems more Dev focused so it is nice those tools compare. Azure is really nice in the UX and the way it presents the sprints and the stories in an easy manner. Atlassian Jira Product Discovery is great when creating the stories within itself and also works with productboard better than azure does currently.

IdeaScale is the first Ideation tool I came across.

• Shared understanding of goals has increased
• Management of large number of work items is good
• Sometimes if we dont manage it well it can get complex and people get lost.

• Ideascale was launched recently so no concrete ROI yet
• Supports driving innovation as a discipline internally and externally
