Jira Work Management - Iffy For Marketing Teams
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our marketing team has used Jira Work Management to project manage the creation of deliverables for marketing campaigns. The tool is used among teams in one business unit to organize work, repeat regular tasks, and communicate about ongoing projects.
Pros

- Kanban approach to organized work
- Commenting and collaboration
Cons
- Task updates are manual
- Lacking automation and AI-driven features

Return on Investment
- For our marketing team, Jira Work Management caused us to lose valuable work time due to manual updates that could have been automated.

I love Jira Work Management
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Jira Work Management to organize each product pod's sprints as well as to organize product discovery. Each pod has a backlog of tickets that includes background, acceptance criteria, and deliverables so that we know what's happening, how it happened, and when. Using this system has really increased our productivity.
Pros
- Managing product delivery tickets
- Managing customer support tickets
- Delegating tasks to team members
Cons
- creating a ticket as a follow on of a ticket that's already complete
- going back to review what happened in the previous sprint
- sprint retros
Return on Investment
- Tasks are organized with less meetings
- We can easily shift priorities quickly and communicate it to the team
- Tasks that are not ready to be done are easy to identify so that we can get more context
