Jira for Marketing Teams

We use Jira Work Management (Jira Core) as a task and project management tool for the marketing team. In it, we centralized all the demands (internal and external) of the marketing team. We also chose Jira because it was the solution chosen by the company's development teams, and in our situation, the integration made a lot of sense.
  • Task and project management.
  • Alignment between teams.
  • Demand management.
Cons
  • Ease of use for non-technical teams.
I believe that Jira is a bit too robust a solution for non-technical teams that have never had contact with task and project management tools. Which ends up requiring more adaptation and a longer learning curve when compared to technical teams that are already more familiar with all Jira features and specifics.

Jira Core review on capabilities for managing cross-functional projects

Collaborate with the other business teams on the same project topic, which is usually highly multi-functional in nature. It helps keep everyone on the same page, provides wider visibility, and provides for an efficient workspace to collaborate through status fields and messaging/commenting features. This helps keep us well-organized for our projects through the various stages, and also helps us provide a single pane for our review calls for the operating committee.
  • Create projects that can be shared with the wider team across organization.
  • Set deadlines and set assignees for the tasks.
  • Customized fields to capture information that is not already present by default.
Cons
  • Tighter control over notifications to prevent flooding of inbox.
  • Nesting or shifting of tasks and projects is not super intuitive.
  • Integrations with Slack end up flooding the channel and make it difficult to have chat on the channel.
We use it for managing task planning and reviewing their status between the teams as it moves through the execution phases. We use it in addition to Asana because some functionalities are visually more powerful in Asana, but at the same time, Asana lacks some of the organizational features and integration that Jira has. Hence our internal solution is dependent on using both Asana and Jira together, with Jira being the stronger of the two. However, based on your organizations' workflow, either could suffice but I'd give higher preference to Jira for the feature set it carries.

The go-to tool for Project Management

1. Easy tracking of tasks and projects that are ongoing within a team.
2. One can create sprint cycles for a project to be finished, and assign tasks to people accordingly, which can be further used to track the progress.
3. Its integration with Slack is a cool feature, one can receive notifications easily there, without having to open Jira, because Slack is an internal team communication tool used by a lot of organizations these days.
4. I like the drag-and-drop feature for a task - for example, we can shift a task from development to the testing phase, by just dragging and dropping it.
  • Project Management
  • Tasks tracking within a team by assiging and prioritising
  • Project ideation - along with task tracking, we can update the progress in the comment section of Tasks
Cons
  • Please provide a Jamboard, for creating a roadmap for Task
  • Overall Task analysis dashboard can be created for better time management in Projects
For use as a Project management tool, Jira has the go-ahead. It can provide a good space to manage and track tasks by assigning them to the people and deciding the priority.
When it comes to communicating a Roadblock, Jira doesn't provide a separate highlighted feature for it, we will have to write it down in the comment section and somebody has to read it, like how we have a separate section for brainstorming, development, and production, there should be a section for roadblock also.

Our company decided to use Jira to manage the day by day activities of all teams. Jira Work Management came into play to streamline and connect different areas (commercial, pre-sales and technical), while at the same time making easier for Project Managers to handle the interconnections among those teams inside projects.
  • Simplify Task creation
  • Makes collaboration on projects easier
  • Customizable Workflows
Cons
  • Reporting sometimes can be hard to setup
  • Needs to be used upon a "well setup" Jira
  • The initial setup can be tricky
Jira is an extremely versatile solution that can be used in a broad range of industries and companies of different size. Jira Work Management is aimed more to companies with complex projects and different POCs, where workflows involve multiple departments and it's easier to loose track of tasks: in these cases it can be a life saver for Project Managers. For smaller companies, with "simpler" projects, can be overkill (but still useful)

If you want to build a service desk for your company, Jira is a great tool for this job. You can link Jira to all your internal systems, which will allow you to use Jira as a service desk and also as a product development tool. Jira is a very flexible tool, which will allow you to configure workflows and ways to follow up on requests. With Jira, you can also track your time spent in order to have better time/money management.
  • Custom reporting.
  • Automation rules.
  • Integration.
  • Very good documentation.
  • Easy to use.
  • Good support.
Cons
  • Mobile app of Jira need to improve.
  • It is little difficult when comes to configuration.
With Jira Service Management (Jira Service Desk), the biggest advantage is the ability to easily follow up and fix any issues that are raised. I also like that I can create different entry points (customers, partners, internal users, ...) and different types of requests (like product changes, feedback, product bugs or issues, operational requests, ...) and I can have different workflows for each request type. The customization and integration options are really powerful and the flexible workflows are a big plus for the product.
