Great project management and database software!

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

Jira is very intuitive in how it functions. From the get-go the user is capable of understanding how to use the various features they are expected to use on the job. Of the various database and project management tools that I have used, this is one of the best.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The functionality is incredible. The user can easily search up a recent report or database entery by way of key words or reference number, making it a very useful bit of software for anyone who is in need of project management software.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Jira for all its functionality, could use a face-lift. Much of its interface is dated in appearance.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If what you are looking for is appearance, then this might not be the product for you. But if what you are after is functionality and an intuitive interface which is very easy for all users to get integrated with, this is one product you do not want to miss out on!

Pros

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

Jira has well defined templates for creating different tasks and projects. Also, it is highly customizable which makes it very intuitive to use

I like the fact that it is very easy to track all tasks and sub tasks related to a project. Also, I like the different options like wait for someone, time estimation, add checklists etc.

The best team project management tool.

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

We're working on an Agile project and using Jira to manage and track our release tasks. The team's performance has improved thanks to the use of Jira. It enables us to plan and prioritize tasks, which ultimately improves team productivity. I can select Backlog items and assign them to the current Sprint using Jira. Each sprint is customizable, and iterations can last two or three weeks. Another feature I like is that I can tailor my labels and dropdowns to the project at hand.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Jira is simple to use, and it is the best collaboration tool for managing multiple project teams. We can currently manage multiple projects at the same time. I've also included filters to include stories assigned by QA members. And I can save each filter and name it after each QA member's username. Sprint planning and project schedule management are standout features, making it the best tool for managing and tracking work on agile projects in general.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The Jira website is lengthy and frequently gets stuck in the middle, which is extremely inconvenient during critical jobs. Jira occasionally prevents me from attaching screenshots to comments. This only happens on rare occasions, and refreshing the browser usually fixes it. However, there are times when I have a lengthy comment written and refreshing the page causes me to lose it. I also believe that the software's price is a little higher than it should be when compared to other software in the same segment.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is the best product for teamwork, Jira makes it very simple to manage and track projects. It enables the organization and capture of issues, as well as the implementation of team plans that result in on-time project delivery. It is suitable for SCRUM, Waterfall and Kanban methodologies. JIRA will assist you in keeping track of your stories and bugs for the current and future versions. The backlog is easily remedied, because each project will have different things to track, each tag can be customized to your needs. You can configure JIRA history to be locked by subtasks, which can be named Defects or Bugs.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
