The Jira Reality Check
What started as a promising rollout has become a sprawl of projects, schemes, and custom fields nobody understands. Teams have created workarounds. Admins are afraid to change anything. And that automation someone set up three years ago? Nobody knows what it does anymore.
Meanwhile, your competitors are using Jira to ship faster, track better, and report accurately. The gap isn't the tool — it's how it's configured.
The difference is systematic optimisation. Design Industries takes underperforming Jira instances and transforms them into championship-level delivery platforms — clean, governed, and built for scale.
Signs Your Jira Needs Attention
You might recognise some of these symptoms
| Symptom | What It Looks Like |
|---|---|
|
Workflow Chaos |
Different teams using different processes, no consistency |
|
Custom Field Sprawl |
Hundreds of fields, most unused, many duplicated |
|
Slow Performance |
Queries take forever, dashboards timeout |
|
Reporting Gaps |
Can't get accurate data when leadership asks |
|
Integration Failures |
Broken connections to Confluence, Bitbucket, or external tools |
|
Automation Overload |
Rules firing incorrectly or conflicting with each other |
|
Permission Complexity |
Nobody knows who can see what |
|
Adoption Resistance |
Teams finding workarounds instead of using Jira properly |
If three or more of these apply, your Jira environment needs professional attention.
How It Works
Our systematic three-step approach to Jira optimisation
Platform Discovery
(Free)
Every optimisation starts with a health check.
- • Configuration Audit — Review schemes, workflows, custom fields, permissions
- • Performance Assessment — Identify bottlenecks and scaling issues
- • Usage Analysis — Understand how teams actually use (or avoid) Jira
- • Quick Win Identification — What can we fix immediately?
No obligation. No sales pitch. Just an honest assessment of your Jira health.
Outcome: Prioritised optimisation roadmap with effort estimates and impact analysis
Optimisation Delivery
Our systematic approach cleans up the mess without disrupting operations.

- • Workflow Refinement — Streamline processes, eliminate bottlenecks, add automation
- • Performance Tuning — Optimise queries, fix dashboards, improve indexing
