Jira Work Management - the latest Atlassian tool

"User-friendly by nature, powerful by default - one Jira for all" is the claim of the latest tool. What is behind it, for whom is it suitable?

What features does Atlassian's latest tool offer?

Jira is predominantly known in the form of Jira Software and Jira Service Management. A large number of Jira users are made up of non-technical users, such as HR or Finance teams, so there was a strong desire for a more intuitive Jira experience. This desire is now to be met by Jira Work Management. Jira Work Management is meant to replace Jira Core and offers you a number of new features.

Project Management with Jira Work Management

The new list view is supposed to be easy and intuitive to use thanks to the inline-edit function. Tracking and editing projects will be easier than ever before. With the calendar view, tasks can be displayed and edited across time and dates. This will make it even easier to meet deadlines. Furthermore, an improved timeline view is offered, which can be seen as an adaptation of the roadmap function. This allows the scope of larger projects to be displayed. Forms can now be created and shared in seconds thanks to the new drag-and-drop form image. Boards let you track your work to completion through your custom workflow. Jira Work Management also features new project templates. This allows you to start working right away without having to deal with setting up a template first. Furthermore, confidential tasks can be locked down so that only custom users can access the specific information. With the automation rules you set, you can support important and frequent tasks in your processes.

Reporting with Jira Work Management

You can check how busy your team members are in real time and use that insight to assign tasks to get your projects done on time. Keep track of projects and tasks with custom dashboards. It's also possible to export your projects or import data from other programs.

Configuration with Jira Work Management

Standardize the way your organization works with global configuration settings, workflows, permissions, and automation rules that can be shared across projects. Group your users into teams to see which users collaborate the most.

Jira Work Management Use Cases

Marketing Team

Planning a complex marketing campaign can lead to organisational difficulties. Different people will play their part in the success of the project. Planning well in advance is essential for success. In the timeline view, you can map dependencies and track progress. Whether it's stakeholders or team members, everyone stays up to date on important milestones. With Jira Work Management's calendar view, it's possible to keep track of all deadlines, so the campaign can move forward step by step, without delays. With drag-and-drop form images, you can easily send the same form to multiple people, for example to ask them to upload their illustration proposals. Clean workflows can be established thanks to customizable workflows. 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 some project templates specifically for marketing teams.

Legal Department

The board view in Jira Work Management ensures that each document is thoroughly reviewed before release. At the same time, you can keep track of changes. With the Smart Link feature, for example, Google Doc links can be inserted and the corresponding files edited directly in Jira Work Management. Workflows can also be optimized for legal work. Tools such as Gmail or Slack, meanwhile, can be integrated directly into Jira Work Management.
