Jira Service Management: Team Collaboration at High Velocity

  

The world and the way we work is changing rapidly. It’s safe to say this year specifically has allowed the abilities of IT to transform workplaces from on-site to remote almost seamlessly. In order to adapt with these changes and accelerate your business, it's best to have all your IT teams working together as efficiently as possible. Atlassian knows this – which is why its newest ITSM advancement has recently launched. Welcome to Jira Service Management.

Tearing out the traditional processes of IT teams, Atlassian has revamped and enhanced a new approach to ITSM. Simply put, Jira Service Management is collaborative, informative and high-performance work on an Atlassian level. JSM puts IT operations and development teams on a unified platform, allowing teams to collaborate at high velocity, respond to business changes and deliver great customer and employee service experiences fast. To show you the true insight on Atlassian’s visualization for this new attribute, we’ve zeroed in on Jira Service Management’s major features and benefits. Let’s get started!

Features

Furthermore, knowledgeable decision-making strategies can result from the available tools JSM provides. The features include, but are not limited to: scheduling, alerting, change risk assessments and Atlassian tool integrations.

Don’t let that emphasis on incident management and change management detour your vision on Jira Service Management. In addition to Atlassian’s future releases of Jira Service Management that will include Mindville Insight and Halp, features of other management processes – such as request, problem and asset management – are all incorporated into this ITSM breakthrough tool.
