We use JIRA as a ticket management tool. All users have access to it. Any request or roadblock that any user faces will raise a request on JIRA. Then the IT team will allocate the ticket to the respective team Poc's to action on the requests... Once the issues/request is addressed. The user will be notified on JIRA platform.

There are several use cases in business problems that can be applied, since personally I use it to create a product backlog and a sprint backlog, so regardless of the scope, it helps us clarify what we will have to do and in what iterations. For example, when developing software, we break down into user stories what we will have to do over the next sprints.

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.

In our company, we primarily use Jira work management as a Project management software where we are able to see all the project information at a glance. We can easily manage our projects and keep the team organized. Managing tasks and different projects in Jira starts with a workflow which defines our processes and enable our teams to track the tasks. Jira work management also have boards where we are able to visualize our workflows and drag and drop tasks from to-do to done.

We switched from Phabricator to Jira for work management at the company (Standard Cognition). We use it to manage tasks and the work in the current and incoming quarters. It helps to keep visibility on the individual and team tasks which adds transparency to the workflow. We are currently in the transition towards managing code reviews. We still do not use it for financial as we keep using Expensify, I am not sure if there will be a switch or not.

This is mostly maintained by our product and engineering team as a way to organize meeting notes, documents, processes, etc. It helps keep everyone in sync, easily find information someone is looking for, and be accessible to everyone as they are in Jira and confluence already. It helps have things at your fingertips.

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.

It provides a variety of functionalities where users can create stories of different types of issues which stores the information of issue description, their resolutions, and testing evidence.

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.

We are using Jira Work Management to connect with the development team, business intelligence team, and internal support, for reporting bugs, improvements, questions, problems, configuration changes, and change requests. We are also using it to see the product roadmap that the development team has designed and what item is going to be fixed or what new item is going to be released with all the planned dates.

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.

We use it to manage workflows between different teams and across time zones. It’s useful as a project management tool and for our IT teams to communicate.

We used this for working on project plans and sprint backlogs to forecast future semi-monthly releases. My team and I would create projects and tasks inside of Jira and estimate the story points to ensure we had a full workload while not overpromising anything. Overall, as a manager, I was able to view reports and metrics to understand how much we had in the hopper, while my team used it to collaborate and update the team on task status.

I use it to organize projects and assign tasks outside of the DevOps team. It helps me to keep an overview of anything marketing, sales, or customer support have requested from the DevOps team and anything they have requested from us that is outside of the regular development tasks.
