Atlassian Product Collection, with Jira Product Discovery vs. Azure DevOps

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

Azure DevOps works well when you’ve got larger delivery efforts with multiple teams and a lot of moving parts, and you need one place to plan work, track it properly, and see how everything links together. It’s especially useful when delivery and development are closely tied and you want backlog items, code and releases connected rather than spread across tools. Where it’s less of a fit is for small teams or simple pieces of work, as it can feel like more setup and process than you really need, and non-technical users often struggle with the interface. It also isn’t great if you want instant, easy programme-level views or a very visual planning experience without putting time into configuration.

• 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.

• Utilize Git as a repository to share work between multiple users
• Ability to configure Pipelines to build containers to run virtual deployments and testing scripts.
• Split individual tasks and relate to master documents for quick navigation and ability to see overall picture of project.
• Track status of each task
• Integrate with Git to utilize branches, merging, approvals, history, etc.

• 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

• I did mention it has good visibility in terms of linking, but sometimes items do get lost, so if there was a better way to manage that, that would be great.
• The wiki is not the prettiest thing to look at, so it could have refinements there.
• It could improve the search slightly better.

I don't think our organization will stray from using VSTS/TFS as we are now looking to upgrade to the 2012 version. Since our business is software development and we want to meet the requirements of CMMI to deliver consistent and high quality software, this SDLC management tool is here to stay. In addition, our company uses a lot of Microsoft products, such as Office 365, Asp.net, etc, and since VSTS/TFS has proved itself invaluable to our own processes and is within the Microsoft family of products, we will continue to use VSTS/TFS for a long, long time.

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

It's a great help to get more information about new feature release and stay updated on what the dev team is working on. I like how easy it is to just login and read through the work items. Each work item has basic details: Title, Description, Assigned to, State, Area (what it belongs to), and iteration (when it’s worked on). See image above.They move through different states (New → Discovery → Ready for Prod → etc.).

When we've had issues, both Microsoft support and the user community have been very responsive. DevOps has an active developer community and frankly, you can find most of your questions already asked and answered there. Microsoft also does a better job than most software vendors I've worked with creating detailed and frequently updated documentation.

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.

Microsoft Planner is used by project managers and IT service managers across our organization for task tracking and running their team meetings. Azure DevOps works better than Planner for software development teams but might possibly be too complex for non-software teams or more business-focused projects. We also use ServiceNow for IT service management and this tool provides better analysis and tracking of IT incidents, as Azure DevOps is more suited to development and project work for dev teams.

• We have saved a ton of time not calculating metrics by hand.
• We no longer spend time writing out cards during planning, it goes straight to the board.
• We no longer track separate documents to track overall department goals. We were able to create customized icons at the department level that lets us track each team's progress against our dept goals.
