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."
"Being able to do PI planning using the program levels is most valuable. I find that the program-level reporting is most useful."
"In my previous experience, the Portfolio and Structure feature in Jira is really valuable because it assists with forecasting for projects."
"Jira Align helps us manage communication and tasks for a variety of teams without overlap."
"Jira Align's most valuable features are the roadmap, the program board, and the reports."
"It's easy to set up."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The reporting structure is great."
"Velocity and reporting provide good visibility, burndown charts, and particularly velocity measurement."
"It should just have the integration with Jira. We haven't looked at it since Atlassian bought the product."
"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."
"Deployment was very complex."
"There are fewer customization options in Jira Align due to how it was designed."
"One area for improvement is that Jira Align's double menu and multiple menus can be difficult for new users."
"Maybe some of the terms and the connectivity could be improved."
"There is no linkage between the Jira records and the overarching schedule. We maintain the overarching schedule in Microsoft Project, and there is no linkage back and forth with the Jira tasks. They are independent of each other."
"It would be helpful if they had something for capacity planning that was simpler to understand."
"I would like to see Jira Align merge and integrate better with Jira as a whole. A lot of the time, the data from Jira won't map very well into Jira Align."
