"User friendly tool for Task management"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

I started using Jira at the start of my career, and it has been a very user-friendly experience as a fresher and now, when I assign tasks to my teammates. It helps in keeping track of the progress as well as managing all the functions that are being assigned. Even the deadlines can be estimated based on the progress track from the tool

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

.As a fresher, there were some difficulties that I faced in understanding where to look for past tickets or who else worked on the key that I was assigned to, as well there could be an internal chat feature that would save a lot of time for the uses who has to wait for the client to reply on a comment.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Jira to initiatively protect and alert about all our clients' bugs and keep track of their progress and improvements. It also helps to show transparency on who the assignor is and who has been assigned to a specific task. Custom filters and sorts can be created to save tie as well as in case the workload is more than one user can complete; it can be split among others to complete the task in the specified period.

"Jira : A complete tool for project management"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

The best thing I like about jira is it's ticket management system. The tickets are so well organised. In proper different stages, to-do, in progress, in review and the different stages created by client/business owner.

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

The thing I dislike, not like so much about jira is ots graph structure for different sprints. I mean yes the velocity charts is nice, quite informative but they could be better.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Jira helps solve the product and project management methodology. By organising tasks into separate sprints, assigning tickets, and respective graphs for all the sprints. Really helpful for the Scrum master.

"Easy to use for collaboration and customers"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

We use this for helping serve our customers with a knowledge base and support ticket portal, so they can raise tickets and request in line with contract SLA's and to keep them simple and easy to review at any time

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

Permissions, we have admins that could manage the platform but as soon as they are added in as a user they instantly use a licence when they are not acutally using the systme on a day to day basis. Customer Service portal could be a little bit easier to customise/manage

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Internally fo us support tickets relating to change requests and development workflows, but also to serve our customers and provide them with a portal for knowledge and instructions sets but also release info and bug fixs along with trianign and support tickets

"Jira Service Management"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

Jira is our best buddy when it comes to creating topics that we will need during meetings. We were able to setup topics and put deadlines as well. We can also leave comments on every post.

There is nothing that I dislike about Jira. It is one of our best applications that we used on a daily basis specially that we always have updates that we need to cascade.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Jira, we can always set up reminders for meetings. We can also create tickets whenever we have issues with software and hardware. We also have the option to ask for access to certain apps and websites, which is really helpful.

"Simplest ITSM Implementation of my life."
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

JSM offers easy customization and separation of customer support "portals," as well as support issue management in a format that's already familiar to our devs.

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

Unless you're already familiar with Jira management, the learning curve can be long and steep. I highly recommend using the Atlassian Community and researching prior to starting JSM build or customization.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

My current company has used JSM internally for personnel IT requests and a different solution for client requests. In a former life, I used JSM with customers and found that having support issues follow the same general flow as development issues helped everyone on our teams conceptualize ITSM issue progress better than having a siloed flow just for support.

"Powerful tool with endless customization"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

Jira is great for us to interact with both customer's and internally. Being able to link my dev ticket with a customer ticket to make tracking easy and when an issue is resolved it's easy to reach out.

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

there isn't enough capabilities for outbound emails. when i send an email ticket out with an attachment the customer does not see it in the email and will need to open up the helpdesk to see the attachments.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Jira both internally and externally. It is easy to link out a ticket to a colleague and have them see and interact with the same customer or internal ticket. This makes keeping it all centralized and easy to use.

"Intuitive, configurable and can be used out of the box."
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

Easy to use (intuitive) and simple to configure to ensure both internal users and external users (customers) can engage, collaborate and track tickets. User notifications are easy to set up and keeping the customer informed is straight forward.

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

If you want a tracking tool out of the box that provides straightforward functionality, then JSM is a great tool. If you want to start performing more advanced tracking functions, automation, asthetics etc. then everything is an 'add on', so the cost can be inflated quite quickly. I would recommend truly understanding your requirements to ensure JSM is fit for your purpose out of the box before proceeding to ensure you're aware of future costs.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a very stable platform that empowers your own staff to configure to meet your own business' needs. This allows us to engage with customers and suppliers in a simple manner, providing them with a great user experience.

"Jira is an excellent tool for project management"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

Jira is an excellent tool for project management. Best part is we can create and track multiple things like feature, related stories, task, incident and much more. It even gives us confluence where we can create documents, guide and all with different different templates which can be further useful for other team members.

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

Nothing much to dislike but one thing i would like to highlight, as part of integration with other systems we see a minor issue with the mapping, special if we have integrated jira with service now. Example: in service now we have mentioned any text like hello "world" Then in jira it shows as hello "world"

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's good that we can track our backlog tickets, stories, even if it is part of past sprints or PI. It really helps us to maintain our efforts, comments and activities. Even useful for follow up.

Jira is one of the best tools used for agile project and incident management. It has integrations out of the box with its other atlassian tools such as confluence and bitbucket

Project management, incident management, agile projects. All the sprints related activities are logged in the jira. It also provides us the scope to visualise how each sprint is perfoming like velocity charts. Etc
