Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, GitLab, Atlassian and others in Enterprise Agile Planning Tools."The linking of PI Objectives with different features was one of the cool things. It had features, epics, and stories out of the box."
"I've had no issues with Align's stability."
"The tool helps us with better tracking across various departments. Jira Align is highly valuable for organizations due to its flexibility. With my experience as an administrator, I can attest that it can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of any organization. It helps to eliminate the mess created by Excel spreadsheets."
"Jira is one of the most widely used tools in the market, and it has a vast amount of data already stored in it. Jira Align is crucial in orchestrating this data and providing valuable views and insights. However, it's essential for tools like Jira Align to offer configurable features. While complete customization might not always be feasible for enterprise-level tools, configurable features allow organizations to drive transformation accordingly."
"In our workflow, we utilize a dashboard. Our product development backbone relies on two-week sprints. At the beginning of each sprint, we conduct a planning meeting to discuss and challenge the backlogs. Throughout the sprint, we conduct daily sessions to review code, ensure alignment with coding standards, and address any issues. Once all tasks are completed, we proceed with the deployment process."
"The tool helps us to stick with the timeline and budget of our projects. It also helps me to identify dependencies and red flags and intervene wherever possible. I have found the key metrics tab also useful."
"The product's most valuable feature is CMDB for services desk management and backlog projects."
"I like the way the UI functions."
"The most valuable feature is that engineers can access the Jira database and just search for the tasks that are assigned to them. They can then update the status on their own in those records that are assigned to them."
"It should just have the integration with Jira. We haven't looked at it since Atlassian bought the product."
"Jira Align should reduce the many information fields we need to provide while closing defects."
"Jira Align can improve the visibility of executive teams."
"One area for improvement is that Jira Align's double menu and multiple menus can be difficult for new users."
"Jira Align fails to provide its users with a complete package in terms of portfolio management."
"One area where Jira Align could improve is in its licensing model. There was a significant change in the licensing module about six months ago, which resulted in increased costs for customers like us. This change wasn't communicated clearly, and it made it challenging for companies to adopt Jira Align without facing higher expenses. In terms of features, I would like to see improved workflows in the next release, as that would greatly benefit our organization."
"Jira Align's setup process could be more straightforward, and they could make training and educational documentation more accessible."
"The workflows are scalable from portfolio to individual level but can sometimes be complex to navigate."
"Maybe some of the terms and the connectivity could be improved."
