Why teams move from Jira
Jira slows teams down. Here’s why…
We asked 100s of teams about using Jira, and they told us:
Jira overcomplicates configuration and customization
Jira disempowers teams by forcing them to go through dedicated Jira administrators to customize and configure their workspaces.
Data in Jira is often outdated and untrustworthy
Jira forces devs to manually update issues outside of GitHub, increasing instances of outdated, missing, and duplicate data.
Jira requires plug-ins and workarounds
Jira isn’t an out-of-the-box solution – to make it “work,” teams often tinker with tedious workarounds and spend extra on plug-ins that quickly add up.
Why Zenhub
What Jira can do, Zenhub simplifies.
Teams in Zenhub are saving 2.5 hours per week. Here are a few examples of where they’re saving the most time:
Manually copy and paste data into a source code repo to reflect project status changes in Jira.
Leverage the same GitHub Issue in Zenhub as in GitHub, so project status is automatically synced without additional steps.
Manually create and close out sprints. Automation requires the purchase of a separate product in the Atlassian Marketplace.
Zenhub auto-creates new sprints using your team’s calculated velocity and moves unfinished issues over to your next sprint.
Conducting Planning Poker requires the purchase of a separate product in the Atlassian Marketplace.
Conduct Planning Poker sessions asynchronously. Let devs provide issue estimates from GitHub.
