Jira – the tool for all teams

What exactly is Jira? In short: Jira is an application for managing and tracking tasks, processes and bugs, a tool for organised requirements and test management, and project and task management software for teams of 10 to 20,000 members.

Alongside Jira, Jira Work Management and Jira Service Management are also among Atlassian’s main products.

Here is an insight into Jira from our colleagues at Scolution.

Why Jira is worth it: all features at a glance

Jira specialises in project and process tracking and provides useful features that are essential for day-to-day work in agile teams. The Jira tool is suitable for simple workflow management as well as for helpdesks or process optimisation.

The numerous features in Jira streamline work processes and enable focused and structured teamwork. Here is an overview of Jira’s core functions:

✔ Planning

Members can create tasks and plan projects in a targeted manner. The integrated time tracking feature makes it easier to estimate workload and deadlines.

✔ Track

Bring clarity to your processes by assigning different tasks to individual team members and making the progress of each task visible to everyone.

✔ Release

You can view all versions of a project in the release plan at any time – this is particularly useful for software developers working in a team.

✔ Reporting

Real-time reporting allows you to keep track of all projects at all times and stay up to date with the latest status.

✔ Automation

Automated settings mean that every team member can save valuable time – without needing any programming skills!

✔ Seamless expansion via apps

With specific apps from the Atlassian Marketplace, you can tailor Jira perfectly to your individual requirements.

Furthermore, Jira can be flexibly integrated into your organisation and, following a successful integration phase, adapted to all existing business processes. Thanks to the numerous extension options, you also have the opportunity to further develop Jira’s functionality or connect it to other established systems. For example, you can link Jira to the following software:

  • Confluence
  • Bamboo
  • Bitbucket
  • Fisheye
  • Trello

And Communardo is here to help, offering you even more as a long-standing Atlassian partner: namely, secure and fast Data Centre hosting for Jira and JiraCloud migration, for all those who prefer to store their data in the Atlassian Cloud.

These features make your business agile

Atlassian Jira is used by numerous companies such as SAP, IBM, Microsoft, Nokia, BMW, Audi and VW, as well as by universities such as Harvard University and Stanford University. The software’s organisational structure, flexible architecture and streamlined communication are the factors that make the Jira tool so popular.

Organisation using tickets

The tool is essentially populated by users via tickets, which represent tasks. Each ticket follows a workflow, which is represented by a status. This means that the progress of the task can be seen at any given time.

Flexible architecture and streamlined communication

Comments, attachments and viewable change histories enable seamless collaboration within the ticket and ensure that no information is lost. The web application’s open architecture also allows you to develop your own extensions and benefit free of charge from an active community on the Atlassian Marketplace and in numerous forums.

Custom boards & templates in Jira

Jira offers Scrum and Kanban boards, as well as a wide variety of templates for agile working. In addition to the standard templates, bug tracking and DevOps features, you can also configure custom templates tailored precisely to your business.
