"In our organization, we use Jira for project management and usually use the Scrum project type. We might adjust the workflows and stages to better suit our needs, but we mostly use the default functionalities it offers to manage our projects."
"The most valuable features are that it is good for tracking the issues and it provides for the usage of Confluence."
"The two features that have been most valuable have been backlog management and sprint planning and tracking."
"Reporting: It gives a nice report of my backlog and what my team has currently spent its efforts on."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."

"When we use the plugin in Jira so, there are two different systems which we are working on, Jira and the X-ray plugin. The X-ray plugin should be incorporated into Jira because we have to fetch two reports. One report is faxed through Jira, and one can be faxed through X-ray. So there needs to be clarity about which the Jira team should reflect."
"Jira is a project management tracking tool, and it would be great to see integration with the source front or Azure DevOps, etc."
"We would like to see integration between Tempo and Jira."
"The CACD solutions on JIRA has some plugins, but they are not easily understandable or workable."
"Jira could provide more insight into sprints such as how did we perform in the last sprint compared to other sprints. It would be helpful to have metrics and a dashboard feature for others to see."
"Its UI can be improved a little bit. I know this a business tool and not a commercial tool, but it could be a little bit more interactive like the HP ALM/Quality Center, which provides you the results of graphs and gives you a lot of visual representations. I feel Jira lacks a little bit in this aspect."
