I am primarily using Jira Service Management for sprint management, estimations, planning, pre-planning, and conducting all the sprint ceremonies with user stories and estimations.
View full review »For every project planning, we divide each project into different epics based on the milestones. Then for every epic, we create stories and tasks to complete within a two-week sprint cycle. After the two weeks, we have a review session with the clients to showcase our progress. That's how we are doing it.
View full review »We use JIRA for user support, specifically first-level user support.
Additionally, we use it to plan project steps. With the Carbon dashboard, it is possible to break the project into multiple steps. You can review what is done, what is set to be done, and what has been completed during the predefined time slots. For ITSM processes, we primarily use it for access processes.
We also utilize its automation capabilities, such as automatically creating JIRA tickets from monitoring tools during batch execution errors.
View full review »We use Jira Service Management (JSM) to manage tickets.
It enables us to track, monitor, and manage user requests from initiation to resolution. We use it for the end-to-end process. We can add comments, and close requests., so our primary use case for JSM is ticketing.

View full review »We use Jira Service Management to open support tickets, follow up on those tickets, and monitor the work log. We also perform some report filtering to follow up on outstanding issues. We utilize Jira Service Management's features to track the status and use customized workflows for incident management.
View full review »We upload the tasks for the team, working with them, and they know the status of the tasks.
View full review »We use the product for our procurement processes and our service desk. We use it for our different teams working on the development side for smaller projects, as well as capital planning.
We have the solution deployed on-prem and on the cloud. We have only one team on the cloud and about 35 teams working on-prem.
View full review »We needed a centralized, user-friendly, and admin-friendly system for our help desk. We had multiple systems and teams that needed to be deployed for this system. For example, we had a development system, a first-line help desk team that was available 24/7, and an escalation process. The first line, second line, and third line might be a local partner or so. We even automated the process for the external partner of our company. So when our first line escalated to the second line of support and the second line couldn't resolve the issue according to the process, it went to the partner. And the partner saw all the history on the tickets. It was a really nice solution.
View full review »We are using Jira Service Management along with a series of other tools. We use it primarily for developing our knowledge management and for scaling our service-level agreements management.
On a daily basis, we're working on migration activity. Apart from the migration activity, we're working with the modifications and workflows for particular people who need to approve activities - those who are doing user management and customization. We are doing some scripts on the create screen as well. Whenever there is an approval, it may require setting some features that hide things automatically or some features that need to be filled automatically. We have Lambda in the AWS. In Lambda functions, all the fields in JSON format need to be triggered in Jira.

We use JIRA Service Management for any issue coming into the store and have four escalation levels. We're also using the solution for KPIs, both in the cloud and on-premise deployments, but in the server version, there are more add-ons, such as the SLA and dashboard features.
View full review »Jira Service Management was a plugin and was not a completely different tool. Earlier, it was just a plugin for regulation. Later, they introduced it as a different tool. Earlier it was known as Jira Service Desk, and now they introduce it as Jira Service Management, a different tool.
If you have a product-based organization, then people used to use it for interacting with the client and getting the requests from the client. If it's internal, there could be a Help desk, IT service desk, or finance service desk, wherever you have to exchange the request between agents and the user base. You have to pay the license only for the agents, not all users. People can create their tickets free of cost. There, you get the portal, and any number of users can create their tickets, and only agents need a license to resolve their tickets and work on their tickets.
View full review »JIRA Service Management was used strictly for our client's IT services in my company. Nowadays, the tool caters to business needs, HR, and administrative purposes, including the payroll aspect of my company's clients. The application has taken a different turn by allowing for managing certain relevant business needs as well.
I use the solution in my company as it is a good project management tool.

Here in Korea, there's high demand for eCommerce solutions or platforms. You'll see fifty percent of products on eCommerce platforms or follow an eCommerce model. Some companies even own eCommerce platforms. For example, a clothing company wants to sell products online and uses online services. Usually, companies want to build platforms, so my company goes ahead and helps build the platforms, and Jira Service Management helps in the process.
Another use case relates to training solutions, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic. A company wants a training platform for its employees. For example, a rental company with thirty thousand service staff or installers must train employees frequently or regularly, so my company does the application development for online training solutions.
My company also uses Jira Service Management in platform-enhancing projects. For example, a company wants to enhance CRM or ERP, manage or improve hiring, do cost management, etc.
Jira Service Management is a generic solution that helps in project management and application development projects.

Currently, I'm not working with an organization that is using Jira, but my previous clients have used it. The last client had 15,000 licensed users, of which about 7,000 or 8,000 were active. I'm not sure how many of those were using it on a daily basis, but I'm guessing it was about a third.

View full review »I use the IT help desk Level One to manage tickets.
In Jira, when a client creates a ticket, I read the ticket, then I respond to the ticket. After the problem is solved, I assign the ticket to me.
If the problem is not solved or harder than Level One, I escalate it to Level Two so that level two can handle the problem.
In my role, I get tickets from people, then try to solve them. If I solve it, I assign it to me. If not, I escalate it to someone with better knowledge than me. That's it, my role. I handle some phone calls as well.

Gil Atias
Head of ALM at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
My clients use Service Management for general ITSM ticketing. They typically use Jira internally for providing help desk services to other departments, but one of my customers uses it for his customers, like external websites, etc.
We use this solution for ITSM solutions including for our help and service desk for user support ticketing and incidents. There are several use cases for this solution and its usage depends on the kind of the company.
We use Jira to track support incidents, which take a different route than incidents that occur within the project. The workflow has been configured so that tickets raised in Service Management are prioritized based on severity and the SLAs. After that, it gets assigned to the owners. We use it mainly for production issues.
We have around 40 users. Some are business IT, but members of the operations and BAU teams also use it. A few of the higher-level management use it, too.

Robert Chinonso
QA Engineer at Kominiti
Our primary use case for this solution is project management. We use it to record some of our tasks and follow up with our developers to ensure they complete assigned tasks. It is cool and user-friendly. It is easy to navigate and understands most of its functionalities. Additionally, we use it to review developers' tasks and tasks assigned to the QA team from JIRA Service Management to run checks. When we're done with the checks, we do our reports on it, and the project manager can view what has been done. It is a very cool tool, but I didn't work with it for long before I moved to Microsoft Azure Dev Tools.
View full review »We use this solution to track the work of different team members and to ensure that project tasks get completed. They get assigned tickets relating to those project tasks and and a deadline by which they have to complete the tasks. As they make progress, they update each task in the Jira ticket and this keeps everyone in the loop about their progress.

One use case is to communicate with customers. We have a lot of customers who are facing issues with products and they can raise the request from the customer portals. Internally, we'll also use it for the IT team and the Jira team. If any configuration changes or any new projects need to be created, or any configurations to be implemented, et cetera, we have a service management project and they will raise their tickets.

We have two teams, one is the development department which includes developers and business analysts who use Jira to track and develop issues within their own team and a third-party consultant. The other is the audit team who is using Jira to track their audit findings and follow-up.

We are using it for internal issues related to our ERP system. We are tracking these issues and, more importantly, linking them to development tasks. So, if we've written an extension and there is a bug, and somebody opens a help desk case with it, we can link it directly to a bug ticket in Jira. We then know when this bug is fixed.
We are cloud-based, so we are always on the latest version.

Agile Couch at Fusoft
JIRA Service Desk is used as a support solution with the support team to manage support service delivery to customers. I coached a big banking company using JIRA Service Desk to record customer incidents that require support. With the product, we have two different layers of incident management. Level one is for the call center and level two is for the agents who repair or try to resolve the incident using a software team.
If their team can't resolve the problem, we create particular bug issues in JIRA software, and the development team creates a plan to correct the issue and confirms the experience in order to provide a resolution. The issue is returned back to layer two, and layer two discusses the problem with layer one. After that, layer one speaks to the customer and explains the status of the problem.

Stephen Kane
Technical Solutions Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
One of the primary things we use JIRA for is the Kanban Board feature. We use it for managing our projects and issues as well as accountabilities within the company. We have a homegrown — I suppose you could call it a Six Sigma type — approach. We identify the six main projects and the six areas where you can make the biggest difference within the company. Then we identify six projects that we're going to work on within those areas.
We use the Kanban Board extensively. We use the Confluence facility on the backend. Really, we use Confluence and JIRA both together: Confluence for global planning and JIRA for issue and project management.

One of the main advantages of JIRA is that it can be customized for our solutions. I live in Iran and we translated some parts of it into Persian and customized it with extra features. We hid other features to customize it right to the point. We provide this solution for our customers.
It helps us shape it for our project management workflow. We are a software development team, a software company. Internally, we also use Microsoft Team Foundation, or TFS, for our development team, while we use JIRA Service Desk for our contact points.
