Hi fellow Jira Admins,
As Jira Admins we need additional functionality not provided in the product itself on a regular basis. For example, when we need to root cause a performance problem. Or when we need to understand why a user has no access to a particular function and so on.
To make your life easier, I compiled the following list of free add-ons which we use on a daily basis. I'm sure these could proof to be useful in your job as well.
Here is my own personal top 6 add-ons for Jira that are completely free to use:
- The JavaMelody Monitoring Plugin
This add-on allows to monitor a number of performance related statistics
- Home Directory and DB Browser
Can't access the log files or the database directly - this simple add-on get you the access you require to do your job
- User switcher for JIRA
The user switcher allows you to impersonate any user in the system, just to debug that one nasty permission problem. With great power comes great responsibility
- AM Utils
The app hence enhances your ability to create and customize workflows for specific use cases and teams.
- Quick Subtasks
Using subtasks to ensure all i's are dotted and all t's crossed. Generate the set of subtasks at the correct moment
- Automation Lite for Jira
Automate these routine tasks with the simple to use Automation Lite for Jira
I have elaborated on this further in the following blogpost on our site.
