Product Details

What is Atlassian Jira?

Atlassian Jira is a project management tool software used by agile teams and supports any agile methodology, be it scrum, kanban, or a team's own unique flavor. From agile boards to reports, users can plan, track, and manage agile software development projects. And since not every team works the same way, Jira Software allows teams to customize workflows, permissions, and schemes to match the unique needs of each team.


Jira templates also support use cases in enterprise marketing management, and projects to support operations, design HR, and enterprise marketing management.


With Jira Software, teams are able to:

  • Track versions, features, and progress at a glance
  • Re-prioritize user stories and bugs
  • Estimate stories, adjust sprint scope, check velocity, and re-prioritize issues
  • Estimate, track and report on story points; become more accurate
  • Report on agile metrics to provide real-time, actionable data on team efficiency, quality, and overall performance
  • Integrate with all the tools their dev team is already using, from the rest of the Atlassian suite (Bitbucket, Bamboo, Fisheye, and Crucible) to other popular developer tools on-premise or cloud (e.g., GitHub and Jenkins).
  • Provide greater flexibility to curate which teams have access to which information with sprint and project-level permissions
  • Flexibly tailor Jira tasks and their workflows to a specific team's use case
  • Extend Jira with over 1,800 apps from the Atlassian Marketplace to fit any capability not provided by default

It is being used throughout our organization. We use it to plan, monitor and develop your projects quickly and easily. With Jira, plan your daily work by creating user stories, incidents or assigning tasks and subtasks to your team members. Integration with the main development environments such as Eclipse, Visual Studio, Netbeans, make it an effective and productive alternative.
  • It is very simple, basic and simple to use.
  • It allows precise customizable estimates according to the needs of the project.
  • You can have administrative control of the company's activities (projects, processes, procedures).
  • It is compatible in virtually all databases.
  • It offers Web access with support for the main browsers in the market, email notifications, as well as many applications that provide additional resources to Jira.
Cons
  • Although Jira is an excellent tool for project management, the cost can be somewhat expensive.
  • Its initial configuration proved to be complicated.
  • It can be difficult for beginners, because it is difficult to understand its characteristics.
Jira is a considerably flexible application that allows you to start coordinating and controlling semi-structured processes. It allows you to define different types of incidents or tasks. These can be linked to the same workflow or to different workflows. It allows each user to define their own filters and dashboards, share them or use those defined by other users.

We use JIRA to manage multiple high-level projects within our company. It is a corporate-wide engagement with JIRA with several businesses that use it independently with a corporate administrator to manage the tool. We use it for very large projects, like Salesforce rollouts, as well as smaller projects like minor enhancements or bug fixes across all key software environments.
  • It is a great tool to link documents and documentation to specific user stories to keep things organized.
  • It has a great user management feature to help us plug resources into the right projects and remove users as they move on to other work.
  • It has sold plug-and-play options that you can elect to use or deselect in order not to cloud the interface.
Cons
  • The look and feel is a bit sterile, which is both good and bad. Some nice skins to make it easily customizable to our existing corporate color schemes would be nice.
  • Cost is always a place for improvement. JIRA is not overly expensive, but in a market where there are a ton of options, price is a negotiation point.
  • Better integrations with vendor/partners using the same tool would help onboard offshore resources we occasionally use.
JIRA is great for large projects. We used it for a very large roll-out of Salesforce when we were starting with nothing. It helped us manage the scale of the implementation and keep track of resources. The user stories you can create help to make manageable bite-sized workloads out of larger multi-people and multi-month tasks.

The complete organization uses JIRA to track the issues or create user stories for developers.
  • Managing workflow is too good.
Cons
  • Miscalculates the pending minutes some times.
It is easy to create, assign, track workflow and store comments and also sending emails on the ticket is really helpful.

The last one Project-Management tool you will ever want to use!

Jira Software is being commonly used by various teams across our organization, and by our business partners. Various types of software teams are using Jira: software development, testing, DevOps, Validation as well as Business Development/Product Owners all have access to their customized Jira boards. It allows the business to deal with software projects lifecycle control and documentation over all stages of the project starting from pre-sales, through scoping and requirements formulation, development, testing, implementation, and finally with maintenance and support.
  • Great customization of processes and instances.
  • Easily configurable across various teams.
  • Easy to learn and use with minimal training.
Cons
  • API-integrations could be better implemented.
  • Bulk-uploading can be clumsy and require a lot of diligence to use.
Jira is best used when you have bigger projects with plenty of dependencies and levels of granularity. You can create your own customized instances and have them positioned in the process as much as your business process needs through various stages of the project lifecycle. Jira can very well handle small projects as well, but there are smaller, more basic project-management tools that could be used for those projects.

JIRA is used to track our issues, stories and epics. It's used through the whole organization to have a view on different projects. It's also used to track time of employees that is put on tasks to be done. Without JIRA, we would not be able to easily track issues on our products.
  • Can track issues on a product. It does it well and easily.
  • Can monitor progress in a user story.
  • Provide useful dashboard for current sprint.
Cons
  • Search for issues can be very long.
  • Views are not always perfect.
  • Burndown and such charts can be slow to render.
Can you have a free jira-like product? In a small startup, I think that JIRA can be overkill. It does work well; however maybe you should use a free issue tracking software. I guess that if Atlassian does not provide this product, then I am really asking myself if JIR would be my first choice.
