What is Jira Software?
Jira Software 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

JIRA for Agile is must
- The best thing I liked about it were the variety of charts and graphs which helped us to have a clear understanding of our sprint work.
- The ability to create sub tasks for user stories.
- We can also customise or configure the application which helps us to keep the application as common as possible.
- The ability to prioritize the stories in the backlog so as to take it up in a sprint is also beneficial.
- I have nothing as of now which I dislike, will definitely update if I find any. We moved from another application to this, it has been better since then.

Powerful Tool for Task Management and Collaboration!
- Great ticketing system for IT.
- JIRA supported my work managing conferences, serving as a workflow management tool, very strong around dependencies.
- Custom templates would be GREAT! I used the same basic template for most conferences I managed but had to recreate it from scratch each time.
- Requires lots of attention and careful use by diligent employees.

- Scheduling
- Task Board
- User stories
- Timesheets
- Estimation
- Task Assignment
- Filters. I find it hard to try and retrieve task/stories from a specific duration
- Creating dashboards is not intuitive
- Error messages are not user friendly

JIRA is the best!
- It is very user-friendly.
- Bulk change option is the best thing in JIRA Software. If anything we need to change or update in written test cases, we can easily update all the written test cases by using bulk change option. No need to update manually for each test case. It's very cool and saves time!
- We can attach the photos, videos for the reference in posted bugs.
- We can only upload the files (images, videos) less than 10 MB in size.
- It would be great if we upload the files more than 10 MB size.
- JIRA is not an open-source tool. So it is not possible to use at some start-up companies.

JIRA - The Best ALM Tool in the Market.
- Single view for all the user stories (active sprint/backlog)
- Ability to generate reports of various types for each of the active / closed sprints for e.g. burndown chart, sprint velocity etc.
- Ability to track release tickets - we can create tickets which are supposed to go for production from various sprints in one single page and manage it from there.
- Integration of communication tools like Hipchat and Slack makes it very easy for tracking & responding to notifications.
- Mobile app of JIRA is not so holistic in nature and one has to navigate a lot to do various things which are very easy to do in web application.

Jira makes agile software development management easy
- Jira is powerful and flexible. It can be configured and used in a number of ways and for a number of different use cases. But despite that, we've found it easy to use and we were able to use it without much training.
- For agile-based software development, it makes it easy to manage your backlog, plan sprints, track and manage individual issues, and get reports showing overall team/sprint metrics. All of these features are seamlessly integrated with each other.
- It integrates well with other developer tools like Github and Slack. For example, this makes it easy to view branches and pull requests related to a specific story or automatically notify your team of important status changes to an issue.
- Sometimes there are different modes for editing the same piece of data (like an issue's description) depending on how you're viewing that issue. One mode may use a WYSIWYG editor while the other mode uses plain text with Markdown. This is slightly confusing as the user experience isn't consistent.
- As with most WYSIWYG editors, it can sometimes be difficult to control the formatting the way you want. I've also had issues with it inserting line breaks after hyperlinks sometimes for no apparent reason.

Manage your projects with a simple and easy to use interface
- 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.
- 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 works
- Project tracking
- Individual task tracking
- Integration with Github
- Communication with team members is adequate but not as good as other software
- Not as many software integrations as I would like
- Can't delete tasks unless you are super user

JIRA for an easy kickstart
- Excellent tool for supporting internal or external users. If you want to start, you can go to the cloud/online subscription which is very cheap and you can start immediately with preconfigured processes
- Great tool for sharing business and IT requirements in SW development. Requires connection of JIRA and Confluence which works fine after initial configuration.
- Available basic reporting of performance of teams or individuals.
- An immediate good overview of severity (priority) of tickets, resolutions KPIs, etc.
- The processes can not be thoroughly analyzed, visualized and managed. Although a basic reporting is available and reports can be customized, the process discovery in a complex environment is not supported. This can, however, be provided by an external process mining application. JIRA can export the data or provides access to its database via API.
- Easy to use bug tracking features.
- It has a great support for Agile SCRUM and Kanban software development methodologies.
- Promotes collaboration within the team and across teams.
- It is extremely configurable and allows a system admin to address complex project management requirements.
- There is a steep learning curve for JIRA administrators before the full potential of the tool can be harnessed.
- The licensing system is per number of users. If you buy a small license and the tool is widely adopted, you may have an issue in getting your budget approved in a low cost environment, because the price for higher tiers goes up quickly.
- Support can use some improvement. It happened few times that for critical issues we had to spend a lot of time exchanging emails and explaining to different people where the problem was.

JIRA is a great project management tool
- Easily manage workload.
- Get all useful information and links to useful documents.
- Check the status of a project.
- Integration with Git.
- There is no code refactoring plugin.
- We can prioritize the projects.
- The user interface makes it a bit complex to search for all items.

Get agile with JIRA Software
- JIRA offers a lot of integrations that really improve our work. For example, the Salesforce integration makes it really easy to link Salesforce product roadmap cards (relevant to the entire product team) to an individual JIRA issue (one specific task-relevant to that team).
- JIRA offers very good search and filter functionality. The quick filters make it very easy to immediately see only my own issues. You can create custom views, which are especially helpful for my team during our daily standup, allowing us to only see relevant issues.
- JIRA issues come with lots of customizable fields. Due dates, assignees, labels, priority level, epic link, etc. -- makes it very easy to organize and find specific issues.
- Our team happens to have many steps within the workflow, and therefore we have more columns than other teams. JIRA Software always displays all columns in one static view. Because we have so many columns, each column becomes very skinny and the issues can be difficult to parse. We can't reduce our number of columns, so I wish we had the option to side-scroll instead of fitting all columns into the current browser size.
- We would love the ability to create CLEAR multiple statuses within a column. You can create multiple statuses for a column, but they all appear together and are difficult to distinguish. It isn't possible to move an issue from one status to a different status within the same column. You have to drag the issue into a different column, then drag it back into your chosen status, or change the status using the issue dropdown option.
- A minor nitpick, but I wish I could create an issue and immediately put it into our "To Do" column. Instead, it automatically goes into our backlog. Then I have to go to a different page to move the issue from backlog to To Do.
- 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.
- 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 - Managing a Project Activity at your Fingertips!
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
- Manages Epics (projects) very well. Tasks can be adjusted easily along with their corresponding Story Points. The Backlog can be easily managed by moving Tasks around as needed.
- Notifications can be automatically sent out (if setup) to the Developer when new work is assigned.
- Epics/Tasks/backlog items can be managed through an easy to use drag and drop process.
- Agile. Easy to work with (very intuitive)
- I don't have anything negative to say about the software.
- As with any software, the GUI can always use improvement, but that comes with time.
- It can lock up very briefly at times due to too many users.

Jira Review
- It has a lot of flexibility in the way you can create swimlanes, flag cards, and move things around on the board.
- Easy to track and follow your team's progress and see if you are getting things done according to schedule.
- The circles that represent the days along the bottom of each card are nice so that you can see if anything is getting stale.
- It needs a better way to auto refresh. Having to refresh the page sometimes can be frustrating.
- Sometimes it's very slow to reflect that you are dragging things between columns, and before you know it you have grabbed the wrong card.
July 31, 2019
JIRA - adapts to your software development process!
- Custom search queries can be saved and shared as filters.
- Batch operations on tickets work well and you can choose if you want to notify others.
- Ticket fields are highly customizable for easier creation.
- Some operations take their time.
- Default ticket settings are too complicated and complex for simple use cases.
- Basically, there is no "one go to process". You can pick Kanban, Scrum, ... whatever you like. The user interface, therefore, looks quite mixed up on some occasions.

Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review

- Bug life cycle management.
- Grouping of deliverables as: epic, story, change request, bugs, tickets, enquiries, etc.
- Logging estimates and tracking actual efforts, giving effective variance computation.
- Computing metrics for our projects using the custom fields in JIRA.
- The SLA management is ineffective.
- The assignee has to be an individual, which is a restriction. JIRA needs to enable issue assignment to a group/department as well, to bring it to an issue dashboard.
- Query management can be made easy with some add-ons like 'Script runner' which is currently outside JIRA.
- Agile development with sprint boards.
- Versatile filtering and customization of projects and reports.
- Easy and simple user interface.
- Filters could be more descriptive.
- Could be integrated with requirement management software for direct navigation.
- More 3rd party add-ons could be better.

Jira PM review
- Flexible in building interfaces for different teams
- Powerful archive provides historical data for past projects in case they need to be retrieved
- Links to different software to easily load information and build tickets faster
- Interface is outdated and not easy to use, which makes it slower to work with the tool
- Ticket linking is not very flexible, so it's not easy to reference work to other department work in progress or past
- Overall system is very technical, making it challenging for more non-technical teams to join and use the tools
March 14, 2019
JIRA is the BEST software collaboration tool
- An effective tool for planning/tracking work from project backlogs and Sprint
- An effective tool for tracking defects
- Fully customizable Kanban and Scrum boards
- Easy to maintain the integration of defects and test using a test management tool like QAComplete.
- JIRA is fully customizable, although we were able to make our QA process fit into JIRA's workflow, it is not designed to work like this. Not easy to make it work as a test management tool.

JIRA and Agile for you business
- The high level of customization on this Agile system is key to meet different niches and industries. You can configure to use on any project you wish to take on without any effort.
- A system you can learn from. JIRA collects and unites all historic data in a single, searchable hub, and provides access to it at any point of time. This way, team members will be able to perform all sorts of rend analysis and statistical investigations, and prepare constructive reports on their progress.
- A rich toolkit for developers. While it is true that JIRA is mostly appreciated for issue and bug tracking, those are far from being the only features you should know about. This system will become your developers’ favorite assets before you know it.
- The UI is a bit confusing sometimes to the inexperienced user.
- The price can be a little too much for small businesses.
- Too many features, that sometimes can bring some complexity to the platform (this is sometimes rated as a good area too, it will depend on how experienced [you are] and the points you want to cover with this tool).
