Overall Satisfaction with Jira Software

We use Jira Software for both Service management and for tracking business processes. It is great for automatically sending out notifications when they are needed - set up of notification schemes and workflows are required, but are easy to configure. Jira Software also comes with dashboards with gadgets which make it really easy to visualize the ongoing work in different ways. The agile boards make it easy to transition issues, just click and drag to the appropriate column. All transition popups occur directly in the agile board without having to leave the board and come back to it. I have been working with Jira Software and Confluence for 17 years in various capacities. It was originally difficult to learn, but with the builtin project templates, now the configuration is much, much easier. One of the great things about Atlassian (Jira Software's vendor) is that they offer certification in various areas within Jira Software and this aids in job security and ability to show off your skills as they apply to different companies and organizations.
  • agile boards
  • dashboards
  • Jira Query Language
  • Reporting
  • Atlassian Marketplace of Apps
  • Community for discussions and Q&A
  • notifications with link to issues
  • company managed projects vs team managed projects
  • allows for duplicate names of entities - can get confusing
  • administrators get too many emails - they are added to the watch list for every project they work on.
  • after migrating to cloud, the backend headaches are eliminated
  • can be administered by a small dedicated team (6-8 team members can handle up to 20,000 users and more when they have more experience)
  • multiple levels of administration allow for separation of duties.

Any type of process management. It works extremely well when approvals are required. Can send out to a group of users and then can be set on the number of approvalls required. Also there is timing built in on when to delegate to subsequent approvers. The dashboards provide management a meaningful way to visualize the ongoing work.
