JIRA - The Best ALM Tool in the Market.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

JIRA is used in my organization for Application Lifecycle Maintenance (ALM) activities. It is used in collaboration with Confluence/Wiki for capturing detailed:
1. User stories in form of project backlog
2. Acceptance criteria
3. Creating bugs
4. Analysis ticket
5. Maintaining story workflows (from ready for dev to closed)
6. Logging work hours spent on each individual ticket/story

It is also very helpful in creating a very simplistic boundary line between the on going sprint and the backlog (all my projects have been executed in Agile mode). In addition to it, as my projects have always had more than one sprint going on simultaneously and the stories part of those sprints related to each other, it acts as a very elegant tool for representing such views where the information is easy to comprehend for any developer or tester.

JIRA is used by our department here. It has helped us a lot. We work in a ScaleAgile mode hence it has helped us a lot in performing our Agile movement in our work. We have improved the way we work and all our efforts are tracked properly. Ability to provide screenshots of our work also help us to answer the Scrum master better.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Jira is used across the organization. This includes the development team, business analysts, project managers, and others. This is used to save project requirements as user stories. Estimation is also done on these stories, so estimates are also saved. We also use it for scheduling, as we can create Scrum boards/Kanban boards or simple task boards and depict all the tasks a team is working on. It's a very visual tool.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Jira is used across my organization. For me, it's the best project management software available.
We use it for all purposes. The fields are really extensive and easy to use. Additionally, the filters are very useful and you can track the issues very easily. Filters have advance search features too which incorporate very simple query language and can fetch specific results. Jira dashboards are another feature that is used daily. You can add various gadgets to the dashboard and track the progress of the project instantly. You can also share dashboards with people where they can check the status and this, in turn, saves you time.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

bepress adopted JIRA across the entire organization to be used in conjunction with Confluence, however the result with JIRA tended to be departments using the software in a very atomized way, each unit using it for what it needed internally with the exception of IT who used it as their ticketing system. Our department (Marketing) used JIRA to track campaigns, initiatives, language, and conferences.

Get agile with JIRA Software

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Multiple teams within our organization use JIRA Software, including Product Content Strategy, Product Design, Product Education, Product Research, Front End, and Dashboard. Each team uses JIRA a bit differently, and each team's "project" is therefore set up a bit differently, but all of us follow a kanban agile structure. JIRA helps us stay on top of our tasks, view progress, and ensure all necessary work gets done on time.

JIRA is being currently utilized as a second tier ticketing and workflow management system. Our users create a ticket in our regular ticketing system for an enhancement and such. Once it has been approved a ticket and sub tasks with all the detail are input into JIRA and tracked. We then use JIRA in our weekly meetings to give updates and such.

We use Jira as the product management tool for our agile web team of about 12 people that are doing a major redesign/rebuilding of our city's main website. It's used to plan and track the individual tasks, stories, and bugs assigned to each team member. It also provides helpful reports showing our sprint velocity and other useful metrics.

JIRA Software is used by the website development group. It tracks our new projects, our system bugs, and system problems. We use it to communicate with our workers who are off-site. We also use JIRA with Github to number our Git branches. Using JIRA's ticket codes keeps everything in sync and reduces problems.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use JIRA as a project management and a bug tracking tool for most of the company projects. Whether it is software development, ASIC design or IP development, JIRA fits all flavors. For software development, we use it mainly for its agile scrum and Kanban development support. We realized that switching to Agile with JIRA was a winning combination to increase productivity, together with having more homogeneous teams and same mindset across team members.

JIRA is used in my organization for tracking issues from production support by our support team. For customer delivery and platform development teams, JIRA is used for bug tracking and to create stories and features for building solutions and the product. It is serving as a product management software, and for solution delivery teams it is our primary project management tool. We have scaled and customized JIRA to several teams in our organization, and it is a very cost-effective solution for tracking all business issues from product development to production support.

We're using Jira as a tool to be in control of our projects. We use it for tasks and much more. We use it across all of our organization and highly appreciate the options of integrating Jira with Bitbucket. It's important to stay agile and Jira does the job. We can use the software between departments - design, development, etc. Our project managers have the option to get a better idea of what we're doing and how much time we're using during the tasks.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

JIRA makes internal project communications, issue and task tracking, assignment and management out of email and Excel in some cases (I've seen few enterprises do it) a breeze. Our team now communicates about an issue via comments, upload files and this keeps discussions better organized. Searching issues in JIRA is very simple and if you are a nerd or a project manager and would like to perform a complex search there is JQL which stands for JIRA Query Language that makes it very powerful to find issues from any timeline.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

JIRA is used by our Company to setup Epics and the associated Tasks that belong with the Epic. We then plan our Sprint (2 weeks) with Development tasks and track the progress of those tasks. If something happens that hinders the development of such task, we can easily put a block on that Task until the block can be removed (i.e. waiting on data cut from Agency). We can easily drop something into the backlog when needed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

JIRA has been a great replacement for Microsoft Team Foundation Server. Not only is it easier to use, but it's highly customizable by our organization without the need of external consultants. Bugs or feature requests are created throughout the whole company and then triaged into actionable tasks. The filter feature on the system dashboard helps a lot in this context.

About Jira Software

Jira Software is a software development tool 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 from a single tool, helping teams release higher quality software, faster.

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.

With Jira Software, teams are able to:

  • Track versions, features, and progress at a glance
  • Easily 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
