Overall Satisfaction with Jira Software

Jira is used across the organization. This includes the development team, business analysts, project managers, and others. This is used to save project requirements as user stories. Estimation is also done on these stories, so estimates are also saved. We also use it for scheduling, as we can create Scrum boards/Kanban boards or simple task boards and depict all the tasks a team is working on. It's a very visual tool.

Pros

  • Scheduling
  • Task Board
  • User stories
  • Timesheets
  • Estimation
  • Task Assignment

Cons

  • Filters. I find it hard to try and retrieve task/stories from a specific duration
  • Creating dashboards is not intuitive
  • Error messages are not user friendly
  • Quick way to write requirements.
  • Quick way to organize your epics/stories/tasks.
TFS has a feature to put requirements on estimates, but it's really not visual (not for account managers or PMs). It's not easy to use whereas Jira in very easy to use.
It's great.

Yes

Well suited for Agile projects. It may not be great for traditional projects where you have hundreds of items in flight. It's awesome to track how your team is doing and what work is in progress, done, or scheduled for future or current sprints. Integrated with time submission for each task so you can see how well time is utilized.
