Overall Satisfaction with Jira Software

In Aura Systems, we use Jira Software as our Project Management Tool. We adopted Agile Methodology and Jira empower us to iterate our products on development. On a daily basis we review our board, update tasks, change task status and complete sprints. We also use it as knowlegment source with Conduent and take advantage of Slack integration to enable great collaboration.
  • Seamless Integration with development tools such as Slack, Github or Bitbucket.
  • Very customizable workspace; you can choose the components of each task for your board, your own icons, labels and automated workflows.
  • Relate all the issues/tasks with Epics and visualize upcomings results in Product Roadmap.
  • They could improve the format of attaching files on Conduent, using pages with attachments is not the most friendly option.
  • In the board by default is included to-do, doing, done on stages. It would be good to have QA (Quality Assurance) by default with some automations based on time and deployments.
  • I think tasks could have 2 assignees (I know there is a possibility to add an assistant) but some issues are equal responsibility for two collaborators.
  • Integration
  • Kanban Board
  • Automations
  • Reports
  • Project Pages
  • It has helped us to improve our velocity on completing product deliverables, I would comfortable say by at least 25%.
  • It benefits management as our estimations now are very accurate compared to previous months.
  • It ensures that at every iteration development team delivers to product the expected results without scope change.
Jira is way more benefitial for those looking to implement Scrum, also is the best tool for software development projects.
I would say that other PM tools have more visibility in terms of Program Management and offer way more reports, dashboards and management tools such as forms.

Did Jira Software live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Jira Software go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Jira Software again?

Yes

Jira is well suited for software development companies that want to ensure appropiate use of Scrum Methodology, best tool available on market because of the possible integrations. Is less appropiate to projects such as Construction where engineers are used just to have Gant Chart as task management view and where focus the most on scope/budget/time.
