Atlassian Jira vs. Yoroboard

Atlassian Jira excels in complex software development projects and agile environments and offers robust tracking, customizable workflows, and integration with CI/CD pipelines. However, for small teams or non-technical projects, its intricate features and setup may feel overwhelming. Simpler task management tools may suit those scenarios better. Overall, careful tool selection matters.

• Running sprints and tracking progress of roadmap, epics, story, task and subtask
• The user interface is great. It allows tables inside details, have common shortcuts and clean design.
• Can create custom dashboards and can view data in multiple ways
• Advanced access rights based on role

• Management of the software is very difficult at times, although has improved.
• Ability to manage resources is really non-existent, there are some plugins but they are ALL buggy (I've tested them all).
• Better integration with Trello, would love to see this happen. Right now it's very clumsy.

This is because Jira Software generates a huge profit for an affordable price. Having a tool that makes team management transparent and effective is very valuable.

In addition, the renewal of Jira Software and all Atlassian tools is predictable and clear, as the prices are published on the Atlassian website and there is no pyramid of intermediaries.

JIRA Software is a pretty complex tool. We have a project manager for JIRA who onboarded us, created our board, and taught us the basics. I think it would have been pretty overwhelming to learn without her. JIRA offers so much functionality that I'm not aware of -- I constantly need to Google or ask others about existing features. Also, although they are all under the Atlassian umbrella, I find it difficult to switch between JIRA Software and Confluence.

Our JIRA support is handled internally by members of our Product Support team. It is not supported by a 3rd party. Our internal support will always sent out notifications for downtime which is usually done on the weekend unless it is required to fix a bug/issue that is affecting the entire company. Downtime is typically 3-4 hours and then once the maintenance is complete, another broadcast email is sent out informing the user community that the system is now available for use.

One of their strong points i stheir documentation. Almost all of the basic set up needed within JIRA is available online through atlassian and its easy to find and very precise. The more critical issues need to be addressed as well and hence the rating of 8 instead of a 9.

Take your time implementing Jira. Make sure you understand how you want to handle your projects and workflows. Investing more time in the implementation can pay off in a long run. It basically took us 5 days to define and implement correctly, but that meant smooth sailing later on.

Asana is great for people who need simpler project management systems. It does not have a wide range of features but its integrations are a lot more streamlined and easy to set up. Trello is great for those who just want to manage scrum boards and swim lanes.
