Tell me how you onboard business teams to use Jira Service Management

[#1]

Hi community!

Are you using a service project in Jira Service Management to manage incoming requests for a business team (like human resources, marketing, analytics, legal, facilities, etc.)?

If so, I’d love to learn more about how you onboarded these teams and helped them build confidence to use their service project. What were your needs when you embarked on this process, what worked well, and what would you do differently next time?

Topics I’m interested in talking with you about

• Agent training: did you provide training for these business teams, if so how did you do this and what resources did you use?

• Transition period: what was the transition period like (process and duration) when moving the team from their old process to the new service project? What challenges did they face?

• Managing communications: what comms (and when) did you send out to let your organisation know about the service project?

• Adoption pros and cons: did you experience any friction/resistance by the business teams using Jira Service Management? How did you manage this? What sorts of things were they excited about when using Jira Service Management?

Love this!  We just went through onboarding for HR, Finance, and Security is up next.  I'll follow the link to chat with you. 

Edit: After looking at the available times I realize you must be on the other side of the world.  Do you have any colleagues closer to UTC−06:00 that we could chat with?

Hi @Cosmo Denger that's great, it would be wonderful to connect with you. I'm located in Sydney, Australia. I've just updated my calendar to open some earlier spots in my morning (I believe your afternoon). Let me know if that doesn't work, you can email galdrich@atlassian.com and I can send a direct calendar invite. Thanks!

A structured onboarding process can make a big difference when business teams move to Jira Service Management. Training, clear communication, and a gradual transition can help teams understand the new workflow and feel more confident using it. This is especially helpful when teams are managing different requests and approval processes. A practical checkout resource may also be useful for businesses reviewing their financial processes.
