IT Asset Management in Jira Service Management (JSM)
IT Asset Management (ITAM) is an important process for managing an organization's IT assets throughout their lifecycle, from registration and allocation to maintenance, replacement, and disposal.
Using Jira Service Management (JSM) and Assets, organizations can maintain a centralized inventory of hardware and software, track asset ownership and location, monitor asset status, and manage asset-related requests through structured workflows.
Key IT Asset Management Processes:
- Asset Registration: Register new assets and maintain inventory details.
- Asset Allocation: Assign assets to employees or departments.
- Asset Installation: Track hardware and software installation.
- Asset Maintenance: Manage asset repairs, servicing, and upgrades.
- Asset Transfer: Track changes in asset ownership or location.
- Asset Replacement: Manage the replacement of damaged or outdated assets.
- Asset Lost/Damaged: Record and manage lost, stolen, or damaged assets.
- Asset Decommissioning: Retire assets that are no longer required.
- Asset Disposal: Manage approvals and the final disposal process.
- Software License Management: Track software licenses, assignments, and expiry dates.
Benefits of IT Asset Management:
- Centralized asset inventory and visibility.
