JIRA - Project Tracking tool

Commentaires : We manage the Robotic Process Automation lifecyle with this tool, overall project tracking, managing the tollgates, code deployments and so on.

Avantages :

It is very user friendly, ease of tracking multiple task in a project such as timeline, hug tracking and so on.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes customisation is not that easy as compared to Azure Dev Ops, otherwise it is an amazing tool

Great innovated tracking tool

Commentaires : All our users/developers having no bad experience provide us and quickly access of what we need to do.

Avantages :

This jira web application has a lot of features to manage or agile projects from small teams to big teams from more than 20 people. Great connection with other applications like confluence.

Inconvénients :

Sometime it can be very slow when a lot of users using this portal. Or when there is a bug in a new version of jira when we cannot save or update tickets can be very annoying in a production project. Make sure that the update doesn’t brake anything.

Getting used to Jira

Commentaires : My use in Jira as a quality assurance officer is to manage, create, and follow up on Jiras to help developers with their work, the basic requirements for a good project management software are there however actual usability functions that allow you to make your work easier are not found. Everything feels slow and laggy and the search just breaks your heart since you can never find what you are looking for unless you know the Exact keyword or Jira number.

Avantages :

Jira helps you gather all the information about your development progress in one place. You can create different types of issues like To-DO, bugs ,tasks and epics. You are able to circle through different boards depending on your project which opens up the door for supporting a good number of projects while on the same web app. There are many helpful features to each "Jira" you open in order to identify its importance, priority and who is responsible for tracking and solving that "Jira".

Inconvénients :

The cons are down to accessibility, ease of use, and readability. Many features that should be automatically found such as easier Advanced filter access when searching, or viewing boards more easier, ability to click save instead of saving automatically which send unnecessary notifications to users. Cannot place notifications on specific projects when new jiras are created.

Best tool for Project & Product management

Commentaires : Very useful , easy to use and track and monitor project management activities

Avantages :

We used Jira every day for development and Product management for creating, assigning and updating tickets ,user stories and tasks.

Inconvénients :

Though it's A very useful and easy to use and riched with features but scrum methodology I think Azure devops board is far better in sprint management

Very helpful software in business

Commentaires : I am working as software developer, therefore I use Jira on daily basis for 3+ years. This is a great help to see the bigger picture.

Avantages :

After trying quite a lot of progress tracking apps for teams this is the one I like the most. The design is really intuitive. And there's a lot of customizing options and ways to automate management processes.

Inconvénients :

Not that easy to set up and quite expensive even on standalone version.

Best ticketing system out there

Avantages :

Broad range of functionality, and the amount of customization you can do with your instance of JIRA.

Inconvénients :

Adding features also adds to feature bloat and complexity.

Good Test Management Tool

Avantages :

Capability to store Epic, User Story, Task, Sub Task, Test Cases, Defects

Inconvénients :

Navigation and UI is little confusing, Administration is little confused

Jira is a complete project management tool, full of sometimes useless functionality

Commentaires : I used it occasionally in our projects, mainly to exchange with other teams like developers and project managers, but not to collaborate with my own team

Avantages :

Easy to set up, with lots of functionality. Suitable for any type of project and method, such as Agile.

Inconvénients :

The tool is a bit difficult to handle with all its features. It is not necessarily suitable for all professions, for example, for designers: It is not easy to consult the evolutions of assets and to give comments.

next level project management tool

Commentaires : Good tool for project managers and developers/analysts. Meets all modern requirements of a project management tool.

Avantages :

self explaining, a lot of ways to customize to meet your requirements in the project. Not only useful for project managers, but also for developers/analysts.

Inconvénients :

I have seen several instances and the tool seems to work a bit slow overall. Also when multiple users work on the same item simultaniously there are issues sometimes. Dark theme is totally missing.

Versatile Project Management Tool

Commentaires : Overall I found JIRA to be a versatile tool for managing your projects (sprints) in an orderly fashion.

Avantages :

Responsive and simple UI which helps me add stories, tasks to my Sprint Planning and track the progress easily.

Inconvénients :

Notjing that comes to mind which I instantly disliked.

Fantastic Tool that is ESSENTIAL for Agile

Commentaires : Since Jira has been introduced, it has allowed the company coming closer together and break down the previous silos that were prevalent for quite some time. This assisted the architects, UI/UX engineers, developers, testers, and all of management/leadership to take a peek at different parts of the entire overall lifecycle of development. Automated scripts took this a step further which allowed reports to be generated and key points to be communicated across. I believe this tool or any other tool will suffice for your Agile needs however Jira is considered one of the more widely used and best tools available.

Avantages :

Jira is an essential tool that will greatly improve traceability, task management, and planning for any organization. It is incredibly intuitive when it comes to the reports that may be generated for any user. Giving the business greater control and vision into the finer details of each day (if process is followed by users), a company or organization can drill down into details of what teams and resources are working on. You can step back a level and see overall features and implementations to be delivered by any set of teams/individuals. It truly is a well thought out tool with lots of available customization.

Inconvénients :

One thing I've always disliked about Jira is the lack of UI customization such as applying themes or having certain sections stand out more than others. You will see much of the UI is plain and ambiguious. I am not sure if this is customizable from a different permissioned user however, I have never seen the ability to have a nicer looking interface from my accounts within my organizations. Yes it is much more powerful but lacks creativity in UI design.

Jira is one of the best project management tool out there.

Commentaires : I have been using Jira for over six months now and it's one of the best product management tools I've ever used. As a backend developer, I spend most of my time on Jira, whether it be creating issues or following up on them. It has a lot of essential features that help me manage my tasks as well as keep track of all the new features we've implemented and the work that our team is doing. It is also great for communicating with my team. I can prioritize tasks by dragging and dropping them into different areas of the board so everyone knows what to take care of next and when it's time to discuss something, we can easily find it on the board without scrolling all over Jira.

Avantages :

Jira got all the features we need, and we can get up and running in no time. I love how they've tackled complicated processes like reporting, budget management, and customer feedback in a way that's easy to understand.

Inconvénients :

I like that Jira is easy to use and allows me to prioritize tasks quickly. I also like that I can create subtasks within a task. I don't particularly appreciate that the software is not user-friendly. It takes time to learn how to navigate through and get comfortable with the interface.

Developer friendly best agile management tool

Commentaires : We have been using Atlassian Jira and other Atlassian products in our project for more than 3 years now. Its been a pillar for us to track overall project journey, right from tracking small subtasks to huge milestones. This tool is best for scrum master to have a single screen shared during scrum calls and thats enough. This tool is been used here as a multi-purpose tool for agile development, project management, collaboration, issue/bug tracking, backlogs and development tracking. So I would say this is one of my favourite tool while working in this DevOps culture and I would definitely recommend to have this tool in each project lifecycle.

Avantages :

1. Supports Issue tracking, task management, project management and collaboration. 2. Easy to create user stories, divide into sub tasks, track the progress of the tasks, label, categorize and prioritise tasks and we can get a complete picture of project goals. 3. Supports different reporting such as burn down/up charts, velocity charts, estimation, etc. 4. Out of the box many integrations, including atlassian confluence and bitbucket integration. 5. Highly customisable dashboards and supports sprints and kanban boards. 6. Task notifications and linking of tasks to other dependent tasks.

Inconvénients :

1. Sometimes it takes very long time to refresh/load the board. 2. Quite a learning curve since lot of features and sometimes becomes complex for new users. So initially its kind of time consuming to put efforts in learning the tool. 3. Sometimes get unknown token error and then we have to reload a page.

Extremerely rich management ecosystem.

Commentaires : Jira helps to track work not only at a team level, but also at a company level. It helps to show dependencies between task, projects and long term plans.
At first sight, the abundance of features might seems daunting, but Jira is a tool definitely worth investing time into as it quickly turns into might weapon in hands of experienced user.

Avantages :

Jira is an extremely rich management ecosystem with dozens of features, which seems to applicable to almost any company or team.

Inconvénients :

Because of the abundance of features, Jira definitely has a steep learning curve. Not only finding or configuring new options might challenging, but even the basic interface requires some time to get used to. Especially for people, who don't have previous experience.

Excellent tool for Developers and team for following agile model to develop different software

Commentaires : Jira is the best software and I highly recommend for the software houses to use this software If they are running multiple projects on daily basis.
This software can easily manageable and userfreindly for the developers who are multitasker and want to keep track their modules and easily accessible for them to anywhere.
I would suggest to try this amazing app for some dollars.

Avantages :

The user friendly tool for planning and tracking the project and easy to identify the next ongoing model for the team members.No worries to make documented sheets to send third party developers. Newslatter keeps inform all the peoples involve in managing the project. Everyone can learn it with minimum training guide.

Inconvénients :

There is no manual configuration for project tracking. With other supportive sites its integration is difficult. Expensive for common functionality integration

Atlassian JIRA Software Review

Commentaires : My Overall experience in JIRA is 3 years at this point and we started using it from the Year 2016. This is used in an project called recovery with the count of 25 developers from India/USA/Canada and several business end users on the same. The stiry was easily created and went thruough several phases till deployment. I would say JIRA ease my works in managing the stories since I am the PO for whole board and connecting developers/business end users for moving the stories and completing the same.

Avantages :

Basically there are lot of likes about this software: 1. Clear Tracking of what is going on in the project along with version needs to be deployed. 2. Ability to Use Kanban, Scrum and other Agile methodologies in JIRA Software. 3. Ability to flag the stories which is in impediment which will show to everyone on when it was started and when it was impended. 4. Easily keep tracking of Backlog for future works and deployments that needs to be made. 5. Ability to bulk update the stories for certain categories like version, points or any others. 6. Easy in terms of reporting to generate using JQL (JIRA query language).

Inconvénients :

Some of the cons in JIRA are: 1. Some times it was ended with deadlock leads to slowness. This happens when certain users running the report across the JIRA. 2. Security is less since we can see any ones board and get to know the statuses across the enterprise. 3. JIRA is costly since it per user licenses and whole organisation have to pay according to the usages.

De-facto issues tracker for enterprise development

Commentaires : I've been using JIRA since I got my first corporate job, and while I saw it improve in many areas there are some other ones that seems to be totally neglected, but worst, looks like management is decided to push down your throat stuff to force you use the app in the way they want you to use it. By far the worst thing I see is the need to learn its query language in order to fully leverage the awesome functionality that the search feature has. Second, it's absolutely developer oriented so using it for Ops has a lot of friction. All in all, while I'm very used to it since I've been learning its ways - and quirks - through the years, I'd like to have the opportunity in the future to work with something different as JIRA, with all its goodness, never really cut it for me.

Avantages :

- Everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach that caters almost all enterprise users. - Fully extensible through plugins - Allows deeply integrations within different teams - Without doubt, helps boost productivity

Inconvénients :

- Some of the best features are hard to find - This is the worst one: there's no way to leverage the fully potential of the Search functionality without learning it's own querying language -- which is totally nuts because this should be dead simple to use - The iOS companion could have some love by extending the application functionality. In it's current state, besides some light editing, it is mostly a view-only app, which makes it unusable when you're away from your computer

Excellent ITIL tool

Commentaires : Excellent cloud tool available for service desk tickets/ resolving and customizing the needs

Avantages :

It is a brilliant tool for both tech savvy or even otherwise and We have been using in our company over few years and we have customized to suit our needs very easily and good customer support

Inconvénients :

Integrating with external tools could be tricky and not much support available online and could be done better

Powerful but clunky agile development tool

Commentaires : Jira has helped us with the following: - Tracking issues at all levels, from task to epic
- Maintaining a prioritised backlog
- Allocating work to development sprints and developers
- Tracking work assignment to releases It needs work in terms of usability but is really powerful and has helped significantly.

Avantages :

Jira is a one stop shop for tracking all issues we're working on, from bugs and tasks, to users stories and epics. The tool can be customised lots so can easily be set up to suit your team's needs - different fields, workflows etc. It's been a crucial part of ensuring that all requirements are captured, not lost and that our development, testing and release activity is smoothly managed. Confluence is a great part of Jira too and has replaced clunky document management on cloud based storage solutions or, even worse, someone's desktop..

Inconvénients :

I feel that Jira is not the most user friendly. It took a long time to become really comfortable with it. There are a fair few inconsistencies throughout the system too - e.g. releases can be called releases, versions, fix versions... little things like this just make it a bit harder to adopt. While Jira is a reasonably complete solution, my team still finds themselves reverting to spreadsheets and capturing info outside of Jira from time to time.

Must use toll for project management

Commentaires : Good

Avantages :

All project management activity in one tool. All as it is used in most of the organigation. It saves time in onbording. Can Manage Sprints boards.

Inconvénients :

Must be more user frendly. Some time I feel creating a new task is a time conduming process.

The Best Project Management and SCRUM Board Tool

Commentaires : Overall I'd say that JIRA has been a key part of the success of almost every IT project for which I have been part during my 12+ years of career. Issue tracking, bug/defect tracking , road map features, notifications, etc. Are all the things you need to successfully conduct your team through the hard process of delivering a well developed product.

Avantages :

With JIRA you have access to a variety of tools and functions that allow you keep track of your Software Development projects. It is especially designed to work with AGILE so it is only natural that almost all IT software companies are using it.

Inconvénients :

Permission management can be quite tricky sometimes.

my opinion Open DevOps

Commentaires : It is easy to use and interact with JIRA. Easy to manage multiple projects

Avantages :

makes it easy to manage a team and helps each developer to keep track of everything they do and also to communicate with the team.

Inconvénients :

Honestly, I like all the features of the software. I love JIRA

Streamline Development

Commentaires : Once I started using JIRA, my productively gains were so noticeable that whenever I'd start a new freelance project I'd set it up for myself even if I was the only developer. It helps me easily scope out a project, line up a todo list and start knocking out items without trying to remember what next. Also greatly increases visibility for non-coding management/stakeholders into progress being made.

Avantages :

Excellent feature set and extremely affordable for small development teams. Easily setup Kanban or SCRUM boards, sprints and tickets for task tracking. For power users, offers a custom query language and tons of customization options to build a workflow that matches what works best for your team.

Inconvénients :

The only thing I disliked, was the inflexibility when it comes to attaching sub-tasks and bugs to existing tasks. AzureDev Ops supports an Epic->User Story->Task->Sub Task->Bug->Test Case. JIRA only supports 3 levels (Epic->User Story or Task or Bug->Sub Task).

Bug Tracking Tool

Commentaires : We moved from homegrown bug tracking to JIRA and the benefits were immediate and huge. The functionality, customization, search and speed of the system was so much better than the system it replaced. The learning curve was short for many and the increases in visibility across the organization made the development function much more transparent. JIRA was used to ramp up our agile development approach and with the right leadership we made great gains here too in terms of cultural change and code delivery speed.

Avantages :

Visual, real-time, fast. Great for logging, tracking and monitoring bugs and enhancements. Great search functionality. Made project management much easier with greater visibility of workload and any issues that are stuck or blocking progress.

Inconvénients :

My organization tried to use JIRA for bottom-up project planning by defining features, applying estimates, linking etc. This level of deconstruction didn't always fit well with how developers work and ignored the big picture in some cases. The result was massively overestimated timelines and overwhelm for the team.

Great tool for Issue tracking and development

Commentaires : I have been using JIRA for 9 years now as a developer and have been satisfied with it.

Avantages :

Workflow of the task/bug/field issue creation and how easy it is track for everyone involved. Also the capability to set issue severity is great.

Inconvénients :

Atlassian could work on simplifying it a bit. They are trying to do so much with a single software that they have made it unnecessarily feature rich. It could be that because I do not use those features, I am saying this but a software developer there is too much to traverse through that is not used.
