Overall Satisfaction with JIRA Software
Our organization uses JIRA as a project management tool between our project management office, our product management team, and our research and development team to plan, coordinate, and deliver on product releases encompassing multiple initiatives, epics, features, users, stories, and tasks. Each team is responsible for various components of a release from inception to end-of-life.
Pros
- Organization of features
- Story development for R&D
- Release candidate control
Cons
- Ease of searching
- Editing
- Process flow of feature development
- Acceptance Criteria development
- Better organization for feature releases.
- Linking to issues and enhancements has increased ROI from releases.
- Customer satisfaction improved due to the adoption of continuous release model.
We have used Microsoft Team Foundations Server in the past as a project management tool. It was well integrated with the R&D team through Visual Studio, but it was difficult to use a product management delivery tool. JIRA has natural integration with product management software which makes it easier to manage features on a per-release basis.
