About JIRA Service Management

Excellent service and project management tool

For the past five years, I've been using Jira, and during that time I've noticed a big improvement just about every time. It has been easy for us to keep track of the work that other teams have completed by logging it and adding service level agreements. You can use it to delegate tasks within your team, track progress on common goals, and share updates with your colleagues in real time or behind closed doors. Because of this, it is an incredible instrument.

PROS

The default settings for Jira Service Management allow you to maximize its potential right away, with nothing in the way of setup. It is possible to personalize it with a wide variety of settings so that it functions just how one would like it to.

CONS

Because our SSO implementation needs it, in order for a user to sign into the customer portal, they will first need to sign into the parent Jira site.

Reasons for switching to JIRA Service Management

With the help of Jira Service Management, we were able to set up a new project and receive valuable insight into our typical service requests, service level agreements, ticket allocation, etc.

A Powerful Software for Efficient Software Development Management

JIRA is a highly powerful software that excels in managing software development projects. With its robust features and functionalities, it offers a comprehensive solution for teams to track and organize their work. However, it can be overwhelming for users due to the extensive customization options available, which may lead to a learning curve and occasional complexity

PROS

- Powerful project tracking: it provides an extensive range of tools and features to effectively manage software development projects, including issue tracking, task assignment, and progress monitoring.- Customizability: The software allows for extensive customization, enabling teams to adapt it to their specific workflows and requirements.- Integration capabilities: it seamlessly integrates with various development tools and platforms, facilitating collaboration and enhancing productivity.- Reporting and analytics: it offers robust reporting and analytics features, providing valuable insights into team performance, project progress, and issue resolution.

CONS

- Steep learning curve: Due to its vast customization options, JIRA can be initially overwhelming for new users, requiring time and effort to fully grasp its functionalities.- Complexity: The extensive features and configurations available in JIRA can sometimes make the software feel cumbersome, especially for smaller, less complex projects.

Great for Smaller Businesses, not for the Large Enterprise

PROS

Service Management is very easy to get going "out of the box" for small organizations. We stood this up apart from our enterprise's main service management tool because we had special needs for our intake forms and this allowed us to do the customization needed without going through rigorous development through the enterprise level tool.

CONS

Form design for your main portal can sometimes be wonky, as navigating through the options takes a bit of getting used to and aren't the most intuitive at first. Workflows are also very simple and complex decision-making based on external data is not readily available.

Reason for choosing JIRA Service Management

Service Management ultimately was chosen because it integrated perfectly with our Jira instance and allows for seamless story/epic creation from internal customer requests, porting the information over was made very easy by this fact and the workflows you can create between the two are very useful.

Jira Service Management a Powerful Ticket System

Overall when the software works it does the job, it's a bit of a nightmare to configure and the costings are not the cheapest but not as expensive as competitor products, i.e. zendesk, freshdesk etc.

PROS

Works very well as a ticket system, it's very customisable and uses JQL for custom queries if you're inclined towards detailed reporting. Third Party Addins available online in their marketplace and bountyful automation features.

CONS

It's very difficult to setup requires alot of time and effort and the software is not userfriendly so if you're implenting for a team that isn't IT literate then perhaps include some extra training days.

Reason for choosing JIRA Service Management

Functionality was near identical it came down to price and the fact we already used Jira for our Dev enviroment.

Reasons for switching to JIRA Service Management

We outgrew spiceworks and required a real ticket system

Good for Product Companies not so good for Support

It is a Jack of all trades, Jira can thrive in the right hands if you have for example a few teams working in a Nexus Framework or even lower tier Scrum/Kanban/Scrumban this tool has it all , you can setup Kanban boards within minutes , access structure can also be tailored to fit a specific team need , whether it is to give full permissions to a developer or tech lead or just read access to a stakeholder.My experience with Jira is a positive one however I only give it 8/10 for price and for utilizing it in SD Environments.

PROS

Jira is a good tool , we used it mostly for Product Management based work due to it's easy to share and easy to grant access features I find it ideal in a Product based environment and that is where it shines best . (decent pricing , good collaboration , good reporting )

CONS

At this price point , you have a lot of variety and the market becomes very competitive , you can go other options if you have a Support department for example , if money is no option than this can also fit that role , however the additional features that Jira offers I feel might be lost on support.Summary : Great for Product , Medium for Support
