Complete and reliable project management

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

In our team, it has helped us to manage every project we have done, it has also helped us to keep track of people on the work assembled or the tasks they have contributed to it, which helps the team leader to approve the completion of tasks based on the objectives set for this as you can also send it to a group of users and then you can set the amount of approvals needed and there is a built in timeline to determine when to delegate to subsequent approvers. We were able to create a dashboard that provides a brief analysis of work completed that has contributed to the team, helping to provide management with a meaningful way to see WIPs.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Jira is a project management tool that is pleasantly used by our organization to manage our projects and tasks, because this tool is very feasible as it helps us to customize the information collected from customers and used by their agents by using fields and problem type screens, no doubt it is a very good tool to collaborate with the team, manage requirements, track issues and keep track of all tasks and issues handled by each team member, it also allows the customization of workflows according to our requirements in the project we are handling at the time, which facilitates the work almost in an automated way.

What do you dislike most about this product?

A big problem with Jira is its complexity, especially for new users, due to the wide range of features and customization options that can be very overwhelming, also the configuration of workflows, permissions and control panels often requires a steep learning curve, this can generate frustration in teams that do not have dedicated Jira administrators or technical experience, because in many cases we require a practical and simple solution, but if you have not spent enough time to understand its use, it can be difficult.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you want to purchase Jira I highly recommend investing in training, because given its complexity, investing time in training or having a dedicated Jira administrator can help ensure your team uses the tool efficiently and avoids common mistakes, but in case you don't see the need and implement it yourself, start small with basic features such as Kanban boards or simple issue tracking, then gradually expand as you become more familiar with the program and can get more out of it.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
