Agile workflows have streamlined sprint planning and tracking for faster feature delivery
Jira has a very good interface and it is very easy to manage sprints, tasks, and epics. The main feature is the hierarchy, as features can be converted into epics and topics, allowing bigger tasks to be partitioned into smaller ones. The hierarchy feature in Jira helps the team significantly compared to other tools that have been used, such as Trello, which is mainly useful only for a waterfall model. For modern Agile practices, Jira is the most adapted tool in the industry. Another valuable feature is that Jira APIs have been used for data science projects to analyze tasks and get insights. This has also been very helpful in the project.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have been able to integrate the ecosystem we created using this automation tool, so when we run the Jenkins pipeline, the build is already automatically connected to Jira."
"Jira is easy to use and there are a lot of tools that are integrated with it."
"Internally we use Jira for our own implementations and capturing requirements and our customers are using the whole tool for the whole software development life cycle."
"Jira is easy to use and there are a lot of tools that are integrated with it."
"This solution has improved our organization by enforcing transparency and communication."
"It's flexible and it can provide a lot of different options, such as dashboards, that you can create and manage."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"I can use Jira Query Language (JQL) to write queries to see the stories that are there for the current sprint. I can also sort them by assignment. I also use Jira is for burndown charts, which give an indication of how efficiently the squad is performing. I also use the Active Sprints function and a feature called Planning Poker."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Zoho Sprints can be integrated with other Zoho products, providing additional functionality."
"Zoho Sprints is stable with minimal downtime."
"Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool."
 

Cons

"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of integration with SVN, and auto-sync with the build release number."
"Its ability to perform true executive-level status reporting could be improved. There are a lot of benefits there, but there are also a lot of things they can and should expand upon."
"They can maybe dumb down the directions for building the automation a little bit because to be able to build out the automation, I had to play around with it and learn what all the fields meant and what they were referencing. I don't have an IT background originally. My background is in biology, and I got into project management by chance. I am good at it, but I haven't really worked with coding languages. In terms of writing automation, it is easier for devs because they intuitively know what they're being asked, but as a PM who originally didn't have IT experience, it was a little bit daunting at first. It could also have an extra hierarchy to be able to allow tasks under stories. It could be the way it is set up at our organization, but currently, under stories, you can have sub-tasks, but you can't create a task. Being able to customize your hierarchy a little bit more would be beneficial because sometimes, the devs would say, "Well, here's a story, and now we need sub-tasks," but as we were building out the sub-tasks, sometimes we had to go a step lower to dig in a little bit more, and we couldn't do that."
"Lacks field-level permission in the cloud version."
"The pricing is quite high."
"The reporting part is a little bit difficult for me. It is not so easy. There should be a simpler way to track the efforts of our team. For example, in an Excel sheet, there is a feature for filtering. It would be much better if we can use something like that. Currently, for a complex query, we need to use Jira Query Language. Using Jira Query Language every time is not efficient for me."
"We're doing PI planning, Program Increment planning, and that kind of stuff, and it's not always a good facilitator for that. We tend to pull it out and put it into other tools to manage that, and then we get it back into Jira as that's our system of record for where all the stories are kept. That's probably the biggest headache with it."
"There needs to be easier integration with third-parties — personally, this is the biggest issue for me."
"Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
"The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual license to use Jira."
"The license is yearly. It is a large, long-running program."
"We have a corporate license, and it is probably based on the number of people."
"It does not cost that much."
"It is not too expensive. It is just comparative to other tools like Microsoft Teams."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten. It's paid yearly."
"I am not sure if the client is using a commercial version. I think it is on a per-user basis, and it is around 15 Canadian dollars for a user, but I'm not sure. It also has a free version."
"It is very cheap if you forego the local instance and stick to the cloud."
"The price of Zoho Sprints is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month."
"Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira."
