Open DevOps

Best ticketing system out there

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

Adding features also adds to feature bloat and complexity.

Great innovated tracking tool

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

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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".

Nachteile:

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.

Everyday task management for everyone.

Kommentare: As a tester, I am using Jira daily. My main activities are creating/updating bug tickets, updating task statuses, arrange and planning my future work. Jira is a great tool, on a basic level, it is intuitive to use. A huge amount of functionalities that are built in and integrated make work much more efficient. Bug and task tracking are easy and quick. Everyone with access can check what is the progress or the latest updates on a selected topic. Customization of features is amazing, Jira admin can adapt almost everything to the company's needs. If anything is not clear, customer service is happy to help and assist with all queries. In case the existing functionalities are not enough, it is a possibility to install external plugins from the shop that can extend capabilities.
On the other hand, Jira can be problematic. It is a huge software with a large number of modules that can interfere with each other. Especially if modified by an inexperienced admin, e.g. a small change in a workflow can affect all projects that are in the company. It is vital to know what are you doing as an admin. Also, if users need new functionality, it can be reported in the Jira forum, which is tracking similar requests - unfortunately, a lot of them are there for years without updates, despite users constantly asking about that. I assume this may be because of the software itself, but explanations would be nice.
All in all, it is an amazing piece of code despite the high price and minor problems!

Vorteile:

A great number of functionalities. On the basic level is intuitive. Vast possibilities for adaptation and customization. Rather easy to integrate with other apps. A huge number of plugins. Customer service - in terms of personal help to do something

Nachteile:

Some features are limited (e.g. filtering) Customer service - in terms of requests to add new/change existing functionalities. Rather high price

Best tool for Project & Product management

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

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

Good Test Management Tool

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

Navigation and UI is little confusing, Administration is little confused

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

Kommentare: 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

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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

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

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

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

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

Notjing that comes to mind which I instantly disliked.

Expensive but extremely effective for project management

Kommentare: In a few words JIRA is a task tracking software that makes life easier when working on a project. Once the initial setup is in place (easy to do for common scenarios ) all is left for an administrator is to manage the list of projects and user accounts.
Note that parts of the process (e.g.: customizing workflows) need to be done up-front, since this will become more complex once one or more projects are configured and in-use As for usability, it is one of the best tracking systems I've ever used: as a developer/QA you can easily update the status of your work in a user-friendly way. As a manager, you can always get the overview you need by just opening a screen or a report (most of what you need is in place by default) What's best about it is that as long as it is installed on-premises, it can be used as a central point of information for everyone involved with a project. The fact that it can be integrated with other common software industry tools adds further benefit from this. In the end, I should probably add that I've been using all kinds of bug tracking systems for about 15 years (starting with ancient tools like redmine going through PivotalTracker or VersionOne or JIRA) and almost all of them were either missing features that I deemed important or "spartan" usage/layouts that constraint the usage.
JIRA just provides everything that's needed in completing a project out-of-the-box (whether it's Agile, Waterfall or Kanban or whatnot)

Vorteile:

- Overviews & quick access to information - Possibility to integrate with most commonly used systems (it integrates with pretty much all mainstream tools, nut just the ones from Atlassian) - you can integrate it even with continuous integration tools or test management tools (e.g. TestRails) - Security control (everything is fine grained, tools to configure fine-grain access are already integrated - Comes out of the box with the most common work scenarios (client onside/offsite, development only/development + product management, etc) - Reporting (easy to extract the things that matter (whether this is worked hours or development velocity) - Version management (easy to manage what features are grouped in a release, or what fixtures were done for which version) - Workflows can be customized to match just about any real-life usage scenario - Allows for both on-premises (self-hosted) installation and cloud usage. - Configurable dashboards

Nachteile:

- Pricing - it is prohibitively expensive for small companies, although they are making steps to minimize this with the new pricing models (e.g.: a few years ago they started allowing up to 5 accounts per project and unlimited projects, for a fixed yearly fee).

I recommend it 120%!

Kommentare: As a Software Engineer, it's of paramount importance to know the status of a certain project you're working on, no matter if you are the Team Leader, a Software Developer, QA or whatever the role. Being able to know in real time the projects status and managing tasks and its states with ease, as well as the possibility of integrating Jira with other tools like GitHub and Bitbucket, makes it very powerful.

Vorteile:

Jira is one of the best tools ever created. It helps you manage your projects in a very friendly and easy to understand way. You can see very easily how the project is going.

Nachteile:

Sometimes, the navigation between different tasks and/or sprints can be a bit confusing.

Jira is a great intro to agile

Kommentare: I have used other project management software before and Jira is very simple and clean. It looks modern which is a big benefit that it has going for it.

Vorteile:

I like that Jira is very easy to use and intuitive for the most part. It is easy to set up and explain the features and functions on a basic level. Within the week, even tech illiterate people could use it well.

Nachteile:

Some of the terms (“story points”) etc seem superfluous. There are a lot of functions in Jira that are nice but aren’t necessary.

I have used Jira both as part of a team of developers and also as a Project Manager managing a team.

Kommentare: Jira helped us to more easily manage multiple teams of software developers and gather feedback from end users for several large applications that we were developing which were at various stages of completion and usability. We were able to use our available resources in a much more optimal and seamless manner, which helped us to complete projects and resolve issues more quickly, easily track the status of specific tasks across multiple projects/teams and monitor productivity at various levels. Ultimately, this allowed us to both reduce development costs and complete our projects more quickly which in-turn increased our business revenue.

Vorteile:

Jira is a very powerful tool for managing teams of software developers working on one, or even multiple projects simultaneously. It is very robust and feature-rich, with features such as setting up/managing individual tasks, coordinating development efforts across tasks/developers to maximize team productivity, managing/tracking issues & bugs, gathering feedback from non-technical users via Jira user stories and managing project backlogs. There in also embedded support for Scrum & Kanban boards, although I haven't personally worked with those features. The custom workflows allow users to setup and manage their projects & teams according to the needs of their business and their preferred software development framework and management style. Jira is a very comprehensive, all-in-one tool for managing smaller teams of only a few people, all the way up to very large teams of 100+ stakeholders.

Nachteile:

Given the robust features and functions that Jira supports, there's a lot of depth and breadth to the software, so it can be somewhat complex and confusing to newer users, especially those who haven't worked much with project management tools previously. For project managers who are leading multiple teams simultaneously, things can get a bit overwhelming because the email notifications and project alerts can quickly start to become excessive, and there's no way to consolidate notifications across projects/teams.

A widely used tools by product managers

Kommentare: Jira is a very popular tool amongst product managers and developers. Thus, a lot of the people in your team might already know how to use the tool and hence you do not need to train the team.

Useful Features in Jira

Kommentare: I love Jira. Software developers can use Jira straight out of the box to monitor bugs and issues. It can also be used as a typical corporate project tracker.

Vorteile:

Jira has a plethora of useful features. When it comes to tracking bugs and issues for developers, Jira is excellent. In addition, it may be used as a typical corporate project tracker right out of the box.

Nachteile:

As much as I adore Jira, I agree with the arguments you've stated here, particularly with regard to visibility, pleasure, the sense of progress, and so forth that Jira takes away from the development process.

Advanced project management system for any IT company

Kommentare: JIRA Software is the advanced project management system for any IT company. It comes with a cloud-based Atlassian administration panel and mobile apps. The software features Scrum boards, Kanban boards, Roadmaps, Agile reporting, and developer tools integration. The generous part is it is free for up to 10 users so that any small companies can also make use of it.

Vorteile:

The generous part is it is free for up to 10 users so that any small companies can also make use of it.

Nachteile:

Setting up all the tasks and updating the JIRA software dashboard is a little time-consuming.

Jira Software for Agile Team to Track and improve

Kommentare: I have been using Jira for the past 3 years both as an administrator where I manage and optimize its performance and on the other hand I have also creating projects, workflows, screens and users. Jira is very helpful for those organizations also who wants to track their releases whether its small or big, or short term or long term. Jira provides facilities through which users can log in the timeline of their work and invites other developers in the team to provide their inputs. This will make your project to be connected at one place and moreover this connection in now not only limited to companies site Atlassian also offers cloud based solutions too. The best part of Atlassian Jira is they always ahead in the race which gives you more options to expand your creation, I have implmented few projects in Jira where I have implemented full automation of logging the task and reporting it through Jira, and then assigning to right person. This whole process works very easily in the JIRA

Vorteile:

Supports integration to most of the developer's tools Complete freedom to design your own workflow and screens An automated ticketing system can also be generated with its Command line interface and workflow Customer Support is one of the best in the corporate industry Multiple tools have given at user end to make admin changes easily like, Restarting tomcat, re-indexing or integration with SVN, git.

Nachteile:

Expensive for businesses who are medium size Upgradation of the software from one version to another requires real IT skills If you want to keep Jira running smoothly it has the indexing feature to make it faster but sometimes those index gets corrupted and no one can help in restoring those data.

Must use toll for project management

Kommentare: Good

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

Permission management can be quite tricky sometimes.

my opinion Open DevOps

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

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

Streamline Development

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

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

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.
