"Demand, Resource, Project Portfolio Management, for my business consulting services, PMO services to other clients."
"It has improved communication vertically, with some amount of data to be able to show that more resources are necessary, or why projects aren't moving as fast as management would like. That sort of communication makes my job a lot easier."
"It allows me to keep track of the projects, residual location, it gives me the ease of getting status reports out, and checking risks and issues."
"I love the fact that it is very flexible. I am the lead engineer with enhancements, development, developing new portlets, anything that has to be added on, and integrating data, such as ETL processing."
"It's pretty much the source of "the truth." Everything is together, everyone can see all the resources, financial projects, how long a project's going to take. Anybody can go in there and see any information they need about the organization as a whole."
"It's very good out of the box, without configurations required."
"There are a lot of plugins in Jira and we purchase the ones we need."
"The most valuable feature is working with sprints and having the ability to create sprints."
"The ordinary user has an interface that is very clear."
"The solution's most valuable features revolve around the dashboard view, which has a burndown chart indicating progress."
"It is a complete solution. It has more features as compared to other tools, especially the open-source one that we use. It is also easy to administer."
"Jira's collaborative features, such as comments, notifications, and real-time updates, facilitate better communication."
"Some of the features that are most important to me of JIRA Agile are the sprint planning, being able to write user stories and being able to use task management."
"The most valuable feature is the Burndown Chart to see work that is outstanding."
"The Work Breakdown Structure in the Tasks: I should be able to drag and drop to a level three instead of just stuck at level two."
"The risks issues and changes are not in the new UX yet."
"Setup could be made easier."
"We're looking at adding the Agile piece to it. I want to make sure that that integration is very smooth."
"The classic UI is very cumbersome. It can do everything but it's hard to use. It's easy to use once you understand it, but it's intimidating at first for somebody to see the solution."
"Financials are okay, but there's a lot of room for improvement in financials.Financial plans, if those could be made so that you're not always grouping your financial data by predefined attributes, that would be helpful for us."
"In the community, I do not see a lot of answers. A lot of people asking lots of questions, but I am not seeing a lot of answers come through."
"In the next release, I would like to have a little bit more functionality on chatbots in Clarity PPM, especially for support requests, such as for the most commonly used support tickets that people could resolve themselves."
"As the solution is highly configurable, it has very poor governance."
"I am not sure if Jira can be integrated with our ERP. We have our ERP for the cost estimates or measurements. It would be nice if we can check or view a plan with the real cost. Currently, we have to do a double check of costs. It would be better to be able to integrate it with Jira."
"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."
"Sometimes the screens can be a bit too busy. There's often a lot of information on the screen. I think paring things down and applying some UX improvements might enhance the look and feel of the interface."
"Grid: It is really strange that there is no possibility to edit an item in the grid. You need to go inside, and even then, not all items are editable, so you need to switch to edit mode. That's too many clicks and switches."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to have a future-proof idea of the cost and the roadmap for my class."
"Based on the feedback from my admin, it is sometimes difficult to find some of the features. It is not a big deal, but its configuration interface can be improved to make it easy to find things."
