Jira Portfolio allows us to track not only the overall project but also specific components within it. This is beneficial for all stakeholders, including developers and business owners. For example, business stakeholders can track all issues, regardless of status."

"The initial setup is simple."

"User experience should be more intuitive."

"Learning JIRA is not so easy. There is a learning curve."
