Can you use voting in Jira Product Discovery with people who don't even have Jira access?

Question

I'm getting my senior leadership team to prioritize our top initiatives for a quarter and need to have them spend their votes.  However, they don't need, nor do they have Jira access in any capacity.  Is it possible to capture votes without Jira access?  If so, how?  Thanks!

Hi @Jodi Jones you can invite them to the project as "contributors". They will need an Atlassian account (which is free) and won't need a Jira license. They won't be able to access the other parts of Jira.

Then you create a view with the list of ideas you'd like their input on, and you add fields to let them comment and vote.

Here's a step by step demo for how to set that up: https://www.loom.com/share/b5001bc742c0494d81d44d86f1fef89f
