Introduction to Jira application family
Jira applications are one of the Atlassian tools which gives you the ability to easily track your team’s daily routine. Atlassian has a large application portfolio including a family of JIRA applications like Jira Core, Jira Software, Jira Service Management. Each of these applications is derived from Jira Core, which was the first issue tracking platform dedicated to Business projects and each of them has a different purpose.
Jira Core gives availability to all licensed users to manage projects across workflow/s, monitor tasks details and measure performance for created tasks within dashboard gadgets.
Jira Software is designed for the Software teams and includes all the functionalities of JIRA core. It allows planning, tracking, releasing and reporting with Agile boards. It needs to be highlighted that in this application it is possible to integrate with development tools and set release hub for software version release.
Jira for Service Desk Teams
Jira Service Management is the final Atlassian family products which are designed for the ITSM process. Similar to Jira Software this application is also based on the Jira Core and has all the functionalities of it.
Additionally in this application, agents (the name of users acting as the service desk / customer support team in the project) will have at their disposal the possibility to design, customize and use the customer portal for collecting customers’ requests.
It is important to mention that all of the tasks will be allocated to proper queues (dedicated JSM feature), and based on them the agent will be able to analyze team progress in solving tasks and measure compliance with Service Level Agreements (SLA).
