Atlassian Jira Work Management

For any business process that requires a sophisticated management tool, Jira Core is a great solution.

Jira Core provides direct insights into the company’s projects and initiatives with a centralized view of the tasks that drive the organization’s productivity.

Business Process Management with Jira Work Management

Designed for teams, Jira Work Management has preconfigured processes for every department.

Teams that use Jira Work Management include:

• Marketing
• Operations
• Human Resources
• Legal
• Finance

Notwithstanding the above, you can model any business process in Jira Work Management .

Workflow your team’s Projects and Tasks

Out-of-the-box (OOTB) business process templates allow you to quickly setup and customize your workflows to match that of your teams. By using workflows to track every step of the company’s processes, you can account for every team’s performance.

Monitor Tasks with Granular Details

With task definitions that include statuses, labels, comments, and attachments, management is easier and performed from a single place. With sufficient granularity and automated workflow step notifications, you eliminate the need for frequent meetings.

Report on Performance

Jira Work Management allows teams to stay focused and deliver their work on time.

Collaborate with Team Member Handles

Using @mentions, you can quickly involve resources on any task. Let cross-functional collaboration flourish by including Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) at the right moment during the process.

Boards Organize Projects for Better Oversight

Boards improve the feedback and oversight of the entire business process. As part of the cloud-deployed Jira Work Management solution, you can structure the columns according to the team’s needs. With boards, teams have a complete overview of all their tasks and their current status. Moving a task from one column to the next will automatically update its status.

The cards show the what, who, when, and where for each task in the project. Users can also quickly filter their tasks according to a keyword search, due date, or by assignment.

Mobile Apps Keep You Productive at any Time and from Anywhere

With Jira for iPhone and Jira for Android included in the cloud-deployed environment, your team can update and keep track of their tasks while they are on the go. With Jira Work Management connected to their mobile devices, team members can:

• Check the project’s progress from the boards in exactly the same way as their desktop workstations.
• Give comments and provide immediate feedback on tasks and boards.
• Be notified of any updates or comments that specifically mention them or @mention other members when needed.
• Query, move, update, or add videos and photos to tasks.

The mobile apps are available from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Note that the Android App is still in the beta phase of development.

Extend Jira Work Management’s Features with Plugins and Apps from the Atlassian Marketplace

With many customized plugins and apps available from the Atlassian Marketplace, you can further enhance and extend the features of Jira Work Management . With solutions that include timesheet management, added security or document management, Jira Work Management can become a complete, end-to-end business management system.

Jira is renowned for its integration capabilities, which means you can also develop customized plugins that serve your business needs. ReleaseTEAM develops customized plugins for Atlassian products that work directly with Jira in order to improve the overall organization’s efficiency.

Differences between Jira Work Management and Jira Software

Jira Software helps software development teams improve their processes and track their SDLC tasks. Jira Work Management provides the same capabilities for other business units. As both solutions include the pre-configured business project templates, for companies that also develop software solutions, Jira Software is the appropriate choice.

Note that many companies globally use the agile features of Jira Work Management to ensure continuous process improvement and greater organizational transparency. With its best-in-class extensibility, Jira Work Management adapts to any organization that relies heavily on a process-driven business model.
