The Agile boards (Scrum/Kanban) are still very helpful for daily sprint tracking. Workflow customization is flexible and fits different project needs. Integrations with tools like GitHub make collaboration smoother. Dashboards and filters (JQL) are powerful once you get used to them, and automation rules help reduce repetitive work. > > **Cons**: t still feels a bit complex for new users. There is a learning curve especially for workflows and JQL queries. Sometimes the UI can feel heavy when working with large projects. > > Overall, Jira is a solid tool for Agile project management and works well for managing multiple teams and complex software projects. In daily usage, it helps track sprint progress, assign tasks, and monitor delivery effectively. However, it requires some time to fully understand and configure properly, especially if you want to use its advanced features like automation and custom workflows. Once set up, it becomes a very reliable system for project tracking. ----- ### "Good Project Management Tool and Strong Visibility" — 4.0/5 > **Lauren** | *5 June 2026* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Jira does a good job keeping projects organized and making it clear who owned what. Its helpful for tracking tasks and managing priorities into project status across teams. I especially liked having everything in one place rather than trying to manage work through email and spreadsheets. > > **Cons**: Jira can become overwhelming if it isn't set up well. Some teams create too many workflows and ticket types so there are too many custom fields that make simple tasks more complicated than needed. > > Overall, Jira is a useful tool for managing projects and cross-functional work. It has good visibility into priorities and ownership, and does a good job of providing project status to help keep teams aligned. While it can become complex if too many workflows and custom fields are added, it is effective for tracking work and improves accountability across teams. ----- ### "Our most-used tool" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *22 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Continues to offer more useful features whilst retaining the same value for money. Rovo is an AI that is genuinely useful - now use it regularly for summarising work items and creating next steps. > > **Cons**: Would like a bit more control over turning off certain features that we don't use / that take up screen real estate. > > Jira is one of our most-used tools. We've used it for 12+ years and couldn't be without it. Makes it easy to follow where the various work items are at and plan for the future. ----- ### "Strong Project Collaboration and Task Management Platform" — 4.0/5 > **Tushar** | *12 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Jira has been very useful for task management and project collaboration. It allows teams to track work efficiently, assign responsibilities, and monitor progress through customizable dashboards. The platform supports strong team collaboration and integrates well with other tools. Overall, it provides good value for money considering the features available. > > **Cons**: While Jira is powerful, the interface can sometimes feel complex for new users. Setting up workflows and permissions may require some learning and administrative effort. Customer support is helpful, but response times can vary depending on the type of issue. > > My overall experience with Jira has been positive. It has helped improve project collaboration, team collaboration, and task management across multiple projects. The platform is flexible and offers useful reporting features that help track progress and identify bottlenecks. Although there is a learning curve, it becomes easy to use once the team is familiar with the workflows. It delivers solid value for money and has been a reliable tool for managing day-to-day activities. ----- ### "Good for tracking dev tasks, but can get complex" — 5.0/5 > **Maisie** | *20 June 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to create custom workflows and boards for different projects is a massive plus. We've found it particularly useful for tracking bug fixes and feature development, giving our team clear visibility. The integration options also work pretty well. > > **Cons**: The UI can feel a bit cluttered at times, especially with all the different configurations and options available. It took a bit to figure out the best way to set up our boards to avoid unnecessary complexity. Documentation isn't always the clearest either. ----- Page: 1 / 618\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/4315/jira?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/4315/jira) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
