Overall Satisfaction with Aha!

We have Aha! implemented for different departments across the organization. For me, as a leader, it helps me to see and prioritize everything that is going on as well as manage expectations. We have it integrated with JIRA so it's easy for everyone to work as they normally do while pushing updates up to a 50K foot view.
  • Being able to organize projects into workstreams/releases helps to show progress and priority.
  • Custom workflows are great for making Aha! work within our established processes while allowing room for growth and change.
  • The cards are really smart with being able to customize contents and color so that I can glance over the board and see what needs attention.
  • Some of the workflows will auto update in non-sensical ways… For instance, it will update a project that is marked as "In Progress" in JIRA to "Done" in Aha!
  • The integration with JIRA doesn't allow auto-updating so that when one of the people I manage adds a project in JIRA it doesn't show up in Aha! until I manually create it in Aha!
  • It's costly to add additional seats to the license so I only have the essential people with permissions to edit or create.
  • Provides a birds-eye view for the leadership team into what is being worked on.
  • Seats are costly and hard to justify for additional team members
I was not a decisionmaker for this product.
Aha! is a good overview tool that allows visibility into the many moving parts of my department. Some of the details get lost within each project though and I have to do a lot of clicking in and out of elements to get the information I want.
