Overall Satisfaction with JIRA Software
We use JIRA in conjunction with our partner. During our prototype design phase we use it to track any issues encountered by either party. It is also used during a products life cycle should any problems be found by customers or if redesigns are necessary. JIRA is used exclusively by one department in our company. It addresses the need for transparency and communication between the necessary developers.
- Issue tracking.
- Project management.
- Variable workflows.
- High learning curve.
- Not viable for certain types of development.
- "Clunky" user interface.
- JIRA has had a positive impact on fostering better communication between our development groups.
- It has allowed for better error and failure tracking during our products design phase.
- Its focus on software development has forced us to find other utilities to cover our hardware development process.
I was not at the company when JIRA was chosen and we have been using the software for for long that it would be a large hurdle to overcome to switch to a different utility at this point in time. I have researched Trello and Asana and found them to offer many comparable features.
