"The deployment phase of Jira Align wasn't difficult."
"Being able to do PI planning using the program levels is most valuable. I find that the program-level reporting is most useful."
"Jira Align's most valuable features are the roadmap, the program board, and the reports."
"Jira Align is an intuitive tool that features a roadmap view...The initial setup was straightforward...Jira Align is definitely worth the money."
"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 reporting structure is great."
"The most valuable features of Jira Align are its product roadmap and reporting."
"The product has good visualization capabilities and helps to see the different dimensions of a plan."
"The solution is flexible."
"Jira Align fails to provide its users with a complete package in terms of portfolio management."
"Jira Align's cost needs improvement."
"The tool must provide better bulk editing features."
"One feature that needs improvement is the tool's ability to change schedules automatically. Users can't simply drag and drop tasks to reschedule them without notifying the entire team. This lack of functionality can hinder project management control, as changes should be communicated transparently to all team members."
"For future releases of Jira Align, I would suggest making workflows simpler and more user-friendly."
"One area where Jira Align could be improved is mobile accessibility."
"It would be helpful if they had something for capacity planning that was simpler to understand."
"One of the biggest issues I found in the new version was once we clicked on one of the tasks that were specifically for our group and went to look at the other portfolios in other areas we had to browse all the way back to the beginning. If you click the back button, it would not work, it stayed the same place. Additionally, if you click on page B, but then you wanted to go back to page A it would not go back to page A. You would have to browse back to the portfolio and then find your group again and open it. This was the only issue that I had with it and I am not sure if it is a Jira issue or it was because of the way the site was laid out."
"It is hard to keep up with changes."
