Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It can generate reports showing a burndown chart, burnup chart, and the planned vs actual velocity.""Agility is highly flexible. It can do much more than what our client is doing with it. They use it in a defined way. Some at that company have a much broader knowledge of agile and SAFe, but they're given applications and a mandated way to work. We had to work within their parameters and provide an accurate transition so the data would be mapped and pushed through.""With some of the other tools, you have to buy 20 different plugins to get to the same capability that comes with the basic Agility capability.""It allows my clients to have one central tool to manage their agile projects.""For visualization capabilities, the automation capabilities make it possible to support the different personas. The features and capabilities are excellent and come with excellent support."

"Jira Align's most valuable features are the roadmap, the program board, and the reports.""Align enables the capture of all capabilities.""I found Confluence most valuable.""The deployment phase of Jira Align wasn't difficult.""Defect tracking and dashboards are the most valuable features of Jira Align.""The product has good visualization capabilities and helps to see the different dimensions of a plan.""In my previous experience, the Portfolio and Structure feature in Jira is really valuable because it assists with forecasting for projects.""Velocity and reporting provide good visibility, burndown charts, and particularly velocity measurement."

Cons
"The user interface can be improved by adding Save, Edit, Add, Cancel, and Return buttons to the popup windows that are displayed when you click on a child item.""Improve how to create and track releases. Currently, I have to create child projects.""In my work as a contractor, it's always frustrating when a client has multiple software applications that don't talk to each other and they all perform the same function. That presents a huge challenge between their IT groups.""There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it.""The machine learning features are a new capability but could be improved. This is being worked by Digital.ai currently. Multicolor simulation, specifically, could be improved."

More Digital.ai Agility Cons →

"For future releases of Jira Align, I would suggest making workflows simpler and more user-friendly.""The tool's corporate pricing is expensive.""In my company, we found the solution to have many issues regarding its ability to handle claims and other processes since the solution is not available on a single window.""We have experienced errors with the internal server that occurs frequently.""The initial setup was a little bit complex.""Jira Align fails to provide its users with a complete package in terms of portfolio management.""The workflows are scalable from portfolio to individual level but can sometimes be complex to navigate.""Jira Align can improve the visibility of executive teams."

    Overview

    Enterprise business agility rests on agile planning that scales and has the flexibility needed to meet the needs of customers and the market. Digital.ai Agility enables organizations to scale up agile from the team level across the product portfolio, improve collaboration and efficiency, and deliver software that provides more value.

    Jira Align is a cloud-based agile planning tool designed to help enterprises visualize, manage, and carry out large-scale software and IT projects. Jira Align’s features are designed to align the activities of your company’s development team with the overall goals of the organization by helping you achieve the following results:

    With Jira Align’s integration with Jira Software, businesses can simplify governing large-scale software development efforts by translating their strategy and goals into the technical execution and delivery of work.

    Jira Align uses the aggregated data from Jira Software to produce reports on every aspect of the development process. Product stakeholders are granted immediate visibility into the progress that has been made and can easily identify delays and their causes.

    The solution also assists in budget planning by assigning expenses to various work items and giving management real-time insights into ongoing expenditures and performance against set budgets.

    • Scalability: Jira Align is designed to work within organizations with hundreds of technical staff members and it can scale to support tens of thousands of users.
    • Backlogs and workflows: Effectively manage your work utilizing backlogs and workflow boards.

It also displays a comprehensive view of resource utilization across projects, and highlights inefficiencies so that they can be resolved quickly.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Jira Align stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its program-level planning options and its reporting capabilities.

    A project manager at a consultancy notes, “I like how things can be sorted out, and it shows the different objectives one can do. You could also create a team view that would allow your team to see work outcomes. Jira Align also helps with the reporting, because we can export data to Excel or another format.”
