The cloud accessibility and quick task creation capabilities make collaborating with the tool a great feature for working with my team. Users can assign tasks to one or two people who can collaborate and document their work. That feature is amazing in terms of collaboration. While the tool does not currently support meetings, if JIRA Portfolio incorporates meeting functionality in the future, it would greatly enhance the process, especially for tasks requiring teams from different areas.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Jira's Structure, agile, and Kanban boards are helpful. I also like JQuery, which allows you to fetch the relevant set of data. We use JQuery, JQL, and the Structure board a lot. Kanban boards help us monitor daily tasks, and we review the progress using the burndown charts."
"Portfolio helps us increase the visibility of projects' status and management with remote workers who make up most of the company."
"With JIRA, you can do amazing things by developing connectors, embedding features, and adding new fields to create new things."
"Having an option to view dependencies between projects and teams is great."
"The solution is very stable."
"Version management is the most valuable feature of JIRA Portfolio."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The backlog view feature is highly valuable"
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
 

Cons

"It would be really nice if the solution provided a heads-up every time they enhance something or add new features."
"Our major team does not control or manage JIRA server well since sometimes there is trouble using the solution, which is a problem. The solution's speed needs to be improved."
"The solution's look and feel could be a bit more intuitive and user friendly."
"JIRA Portfolio's configuration management could be improved."
"If I get a feature but there is not a user story, and I want to know which epic it belongs to, it is really hard to figure out."
"It would be nice if it could provide an end-to-end solution for a project."
"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
"When using a scrum board, it only shows the current or open sprint. However, we also need to see past and future sprints, which is important for planning the next sprint. To solve this, we tried using a Kanban board instead, but since we follow the Scrum methodology, it's not the ideal solution."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
