Jira Premium and Jira Align

Question

Hi All,

We are a 500-700 user Jira Cloud standard licence using organisation.

We are planning to upgrade to Jira Align, before that the plan was to settle with Jira Premium only.

Now the question I have is that when we are upgrading to Jira Align, do we have any reason to have Jira Premium as well?

I believe Align gives us what Premium does and a lot more as well (looking at the comparison in Atlassian portal itself). Just want to be sure about it, before formally proceeding with this venture.

Thanks

Saurabh

If you upgrade to Jira Align, you will get all the features of the Premium plan, plus additional features such as analytics, admin key, team calendars, bulk archive, unlimited file storage, optimized cloud infrastructure, premium dedicated Atlassian 24/7 support, 99.9% uptime service level agreement (SLA), sandboxes, and release tracks.

Hi Saurabh,

That's a good question and I'm happy to clarify to you.

Jira Align is a tool that should be used together with Jira, and not a standalone application that replaces Jira's functionalities.

Basically, you will use Jira Software for your technical execution, so you can have your teams developing and working on their features, stories, tasks and bugs, and then you can use Jira Align for the business strategy, so you can connect the Features to the Epics for example and the Executives can have a good view of what is happening and the forecast.

I strongly recommend checking the page below to check more information about it:

Hope it helps.

Kind regards,
