Product Information on Jira

What is Jira?

Jira is a software designed for project management and issue tracking, developed by Atlassian. The software enables teams to plan, track, and manage software development and other project tasks through customizable workflows, boards, and dashboards. Users can create, assign, and prioritize tasks, monitor progress, and collaborate across teams. Jira supports integration with various development and communication tools, enhancing visibility and coordination for agile and traditional methodologies. The software addresses business challenges related to task organization, progress tracking, and team collaboration, assisting organizations in managing projects efficiently and maintaining traceability throughout the project lifecycle.

Jira Pricing

Jira software uses a subscription-based pricing model with tiered rates based on the number of users and deployment options, which include cloud-hosted and self-managed versions. Pricing varies depending on selected plans and the scale of usage, with separately available options for add-ons and enterprise-level features.

“Jira Enables Flexible Collaboration but Presents a Daunting Learning Curve for Teams”

4.0
Jan 16, 2026
I have, on the whole enjoyed working with Jira. It provides a rich backdrop for project management, including the ability to track issues, manage workflow and organize sprints. The interface is simple to use, so tems can easily collaborate and stay organized.But it is a little daunting because of its huge range of custom settings and complicated setup. Refardless, it's a flexible tool and is scalable for small teams as well as larger enterprises.

“JIRA: competent and flexible, but also clunky and too heavyweight”

3.0
Feb 6, 2025
It's hard to love JIRA. It's a competent product with many features, and helped us manage our software's lifecycle, but it's also clunky, inflexible, and too opinionated for my taste.

Performance of Jira Across Market Features

Jira Likes & Dislikes

Like

The thing I like the most about Jira is its flexibility and custimizability. It provides customization of workflows, issue types and dashboards so it can cater for different project requirements which is a big advantage. And ther's also the ability to connect with other tools like Confluence and Slack, which can help streamline communication and keep track of progress on projects.

Like

- The kanban board is very flexible and it fits exactly the way my team works. - Other teams prefer other workflows, and JIRA supports this as well. - Plenty of features: filters, epics, task types, good formatting of ticket descriptions, integration with Github.

Like

Drag and drop backlog / sprint functionality. Easy to customise. Top keyboard shortcuts allowed

Dislike

The part I hate the most about Jira is learning curve it has for people who are new to it. It is overwhelming at first because there are so many settings and customization options but you will be better of if you invest the time. Also, while potent, its display can get a bit messy at times. Some can also find the mobile app to be not as user-friendly as the desktop version, which hinder its on-the-go use.

Dislike

- JIRA's UI is clunky and hard to use. - Too opinionated in some cases. - It feels heavyweight.

Dislike

Some fiddly ux especially from backlog/sprint views, eg needing to click on very small icons to action changes. ticket creation requires a loading / wait from the user before the ticket appears in the backlog (although can be circumvented by the great ticket split feature!)

What Your Peers Are Saying About Jira

IT Manager
Is anyone using a central AI to report on project status in realtime highlighting dependencies and bottlenecks. Or are you just connecting project management systems (MS Project, Jira, Primavera) to dashboards with Power BI or Tableau?
CIO
Leading indicators are super useful because they give you a heads-up about potential problems instead of just telling you what’s already gone wrong. We are using an AI powered tool ( can't be named here, I guess) that gets you insights that help you notice issues before they escalate. Plus, it really encourages everyone to be transparent about project status so the whole team knows what’s going on from the get-go. This openness motivates everyone to take responsibility and helps build strong teams that tackle problems early on and stay focused on their goals together. Traditional reporting often comes too late to make necessary changes. By being proactive and embracing transparency with some AI support, teams can adapt and improve on their own. The key is to catch issues early and empower teams to make adjustments as needed. AI plays a role in all team decisions, like a performance coach, and also helps out at the management level. It identifies risks and suggests improvements for senior executives. I hope that helps? 🙂
