Hi Arige,

very interesting question which is asked quite rarely here in Community. I'll second to what Florian already said.

From my point of view Jira can be used for a very large scale of ideas and can cater nearly every demand a person has.

In case your requirement is about a "proof of concept" or "learning what all is possible" it is just fine. You can, probably very well, use Jira for this use case. Keep in mind that summing up and doing some maths on the options the users give might require some kind of App from marketplace (I personally found out Jira Workflow Toolbox and ScriptRunner useful for calculation even complex ones with dependencies) but you would have to make own experiences and tests on this.

In case (this comes back to all the great information Florian already gave) this needs to be something that is quickly setup and ready within a few days I'd go for a solution like Survey Monkey, LimeSurvey or anything similar. Again, also on these offers you would have to compare what caters your needs best.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi @arige hamdan

I don’t think this is a typical use case for Jira. But let’s try some other stuff.

Cheap: Use paper and pencil. Annoying but for a small group of up to lets say 100 participants possible.

Weird: Use Excel. Send each participant an excel file with a protected worksheet so that they can only edit the cells you want. Write a macro that iterates of all files and aggregates the data into on large table.

Hard: Rent some web space with an SQL database and PHP. Design you questionnaire in HTML and store everything in you own database.

Boring: Google for some free service. Something like doodle. I am sure there is something out in the wild. Read this:  https://blog.capterra.com/best-free-survey-tools-power-your-research/  They did the search already.

Professional: Hire a market research company. It’s their daily business.
