Implementing Agile in the Organization

Jira was specifically designed for working in an organizational environment. The platform provides for the creation of a great variety of boards to meet the needs of teams in any type of organization. The system synchronizes the boards enabling coordination in even the most dynamic environments making it possible to track resource consumption, team progress, and overall organizational progress.

 

Working with Agile Scrum

  • Managing backlogs
    Manage backlogs at any level: team, product, client and more.
    Prioritize tasks with ease. Quantify required resources in person hours or Story Points. Filter backlogs by versions, customized Epics or configurable filters.
  • Sprint Planning
    Plan sprints by simply dragging and dropping tasks from the backlog. The required resources are visible at the sprint level so you can allocate team members accordingly. Future sprints can be planned as well using the same interface.
  • Sprint Execution
    Execute sprints using system generated Agile boards that allow team members to drag cards from one status to another. The information that is presented on each card is configurable as well as filtering and grouping of cards based on parameters that are most convenient for the user.
  • Reporting
    The system comes with a broad range of reports including Burndown Charts, Epic Reports, Sprint Status, and more. Use these reports to analyze and improve planning and control for the next sprint.
