Jira Work Management — the latest Atlassian tool

“User-friendly by nature, powerful as standard — one Jira for everyone,” that is the claim of the latest tool. What is behind it, who is it suitable for?

What features does Atlassian's latest tool offer?

Jira is primarily known in the form of Jira Software and Jira Service Management. A large number of Jira users consist of non-technical users, such as HR or finance teams, so there was a great desire for a more intuitive Jira experience. Jira Work Management should now meet this request. Jira Work Management is intended to replace Jira Core and offers you a range of new features.

Project Management with Jira Work Management

The new list view should be easy and intuitive to use thanks to the inline-edit function. This makes it easier than ever to track and edit projects. With the calendar view, tasks can be displayed and edited across time and appointments. This makes meeting deadlines even easier. An improved timeline view is also offered, which can be seen as an adjustment to the roadmap function. This allows the scope of larger projects to be explained. Forms can now be created and shared in seconds thanks to the new drag-and-drop form images. With the boards, you can track your work through your individual workflow until completion. Jira Work Management also offers new project templates. This allows you to start working right away without having to worry about setting up a template first. In addition, confidential tasks can be blocked so that only the individually defined users can access the specific information. With the automation rules you set, you can support important and common tasks in your processes.

Reporting with Jira Work Management

You can check how busy your team members are in real time and use this insight to assign tasks so that your projects are ready on time. With individual dashboards, you can keep track of projects and tasks. It is also possible to export your projects or import data from other programs.

Configuring with Jira Work Management

With global configuration settings, workflows, permissions, and automation rules that can be shared across projects by all teams, you can standardize how your organization works. Group your users into teams and find out which users work together the most.

marketing team

Planning a complex marketing campaign can lead to organizational difficulties. Various people will make their contribution to the success of the project. Good planning in advance is essential for success. In the timeline view, you can map dependencies and record progress. Whether stakeholders or team members, everyone stays up to date on important milestones. With the calendar view in Jira Work Management, it is possible to keep track of all deadlines, so the campaign can be progressed step by step, without delays. With the drag-and-drop form images, you can easily send the same form to several people, for example to ask them to upload their illustration suggestions. Thanks to the customizable workflows, clean processes can be established. For example, after writing a blog post, a review can be scheduled to prevent typos. Another useful feature of Jira Work Flow in this context is that the Miro, Figma and Contentful platforms can be directly integrated. Finally, Jira Work Management offers a few project templates specifically for marketing teams.
