JIRA in startup environment

Kommentit: Iqö using JIRA on a daily basis with all the teams. It is allowing us to see the workload of shared resources like technicians, software, design etc. that we have in between different teams and that are more difficult to handle in term of resource management. It is also allowing us to show the plan and the next steps of our company in it as much as handle the progress of our program. We also try to handle the problems in it like ITticket probleö or progrqö probleö to be solved coming from our team.

Hyvät puolet:

It is a really easy tool, you can understand it quickly and most of the features can be handled very quickly without any major training, I would say that even by yourself with a bit of time of discovery, you can almost find everything needed. And this is a really interesting tool in the agile environment and as a team working tool.

Huonot puolet:

We need to have a clear direction and a bit of rigor if we want this tool to be powerful, things can become quickly useless if everyone does whatever they want in it. Maybe the KPI side of this tool is a bit more complicated and sometimes too difficult to handle properly.

From Simply to Complex, Jira have You Covered.

Kommentit: So far, I've enjoyed using Jira. It allows us to plan, execute, and monitor all life cycles. Each team can build their dashboards as complexly as needed according to each team's needs, so you can use it on both the basics and more complex ends. Once implemented, productivity will increase.

Hyvät puolet:

Jira is a highly customizable tool (I personally customize my dashboards a lot) and an intuitive platform to use and manage. It can easily be integrated with existing systems and boosts collaboration and automation of tasks. Reliable and secure to the environment as well.

Huonot puolet:

The learning curve could be quite complex if you are new to this kind of more robust-end system.

Good enough for if you're already using Atlassian, but otherwise - no

Kommentit: If you're in the Atlassian ecosystem, it's convenient to use. If you're not, and looking for a project management tool - there are many other options that are likely better for the price. Purchasing Jira separately to me only makes sense for small businesses with less than 10 users on it's lowest plan.

Hyvät puolet:

I was on an Enterprise plan via Atlassian, and didn't have the highest expectations for Jira - but I learned to love it. The UI isn't the greatest, but it's not bad for the price. Functionality-wise it's not far off from an Asana in terms of tagging and timelines. I like how they took from Confluence's UI to in the boards to help visualize tasks better.

Huonot puolet:

It's just not enjoyable to use, and your project management tool is something you need to enjoy using everyday. I think it's the UI. It feels cold. Everything is easy to use because it's natural UI, but it's not fun to use and my team agrees.

Huomioon otetut vaihtoehdot: Asana

Perusteet vaihtaa tuotteeseen Jira: We actually started with Jira in the marketing team, and decided to switch to Asana completely. I still needed to use Jira though, because I was part of the product team who used it as well. There's plans to transition completely out of Jira for product as well however, so only our developers will use it.

Jira Service Desk Management for HR

Kommentit: Very positive implementing and using Jira Service Desk Management as a Case Management and Queries Inbox solution. Quick implementation and adaptive enough to allow for continuous development and improvements to our workflows. With technical resource within the HR function, little to no IT support was required to build or roll out the platform.

Hyvät puolet:

Jira (Service Desk Management) is incredibly durable and customisable. The system can be designed around internal processes and workflows in order to produce a platform bespoke to requirements. It also integrates very well with a large range of other platforms and services.

Huonot puolet:

Some of the build and design can be tricky and on occasion due to confusing navigation of the administrative menus and options, especially if your HR function lacks a technical resource or support from IT function.

Huomioon otetut vaihtoehdot: Zendesk Suite

Perusteet vaihtaa tuotteeseen Jira: Better value for money, easier build and implementation for non-technical resource.
