Didit is becoming THE Jira checklist app on the Marketplace

[#1]

Didit for Jira allows you to create checklists and checklist templates for a multitude of purposes. They range from selection criteria for a job to a definition of done for a software release to a room cleaning task list for a hospitality team.

With Didit, you can build high-quality, repeatable routines and practices and enjoy numerous benefits over other Jira checklist apps.

Today hundreds of teams are checking off millions of tasks every month with Didit and have seen their internal processes become faster, more efficient, and less error-prone.

You can now make multi-checklist reports for tracking and auditing

Didit already offers statistics about your checklists and checklist templates in the Didit hub, which is great for tracking and auditing purposes.

One of Didit’s newest features is the option to export multiple checklists as a single PDF report. This feature is useful for compliance, audit preparation, and just generally checking on progress.

What’s been done? What’s still left to do? Was there a problem completing something? Why weren’t these checklists signed? These are the sorts of questions that can be asked and answered with a multi-checklist report.

There are several filters you can use to ensure you’re capturing the exact insights you need. You can:

• Select only finished or unfinished checklists

• Select only signed or unsigned checklists

• Select checklists created between certain dates

• Select checklists based on specific templates

More automation options for your Jira checklists

We’re releasing even more Jira Automation triggers and actions to accelerate and improve your Didit checklist workflows.

Currently there are lots of checklist actions you can configure using Automation, such as automatically adding a checklist to an issue when it transitions to a new status. Look out for more actions, such as automatically checking off all tasks in a checklist once an issue moves to “Done”.

Triggers are coming soon, too, so if you do something in a Didit checklist, it will trigger something in your Jira. For example, if a task or criterion is checked, Didit will create a new Jira issue. Or, if a checklist is completed, Didit will transition the issue to “Done” or a different status.

Improved checklist integration

Everybody’s looking to create a single source of truth in their organization, and the lack of integration between different apps and platforms is one of the most common causes of siloed information.

Firstly, we are enhancing how Didit works with other Atlassian apps. This will increase the visibility of your checklists – and the teams using them – thereby improving transparency and accountability. We also want to offer ways of migrating data from other apps to Didit, so that you can centralize your processes and reduce the number of tools you use for managing routine work.

We are finishing up an Application Programming Interface (API) to help you do even more with Didit. For example, you will soon be able to

• combine a process in your CRM like Salesforce or HubSpot with a checklist in Confluence or Jira: when a task or action is completed in your CRM, a task on your Didit checklist is completed

• remove the recurring setting from a checklist when an Epic or Initiative is resolved as the daily or weekly task is no longer needed

• use information from your ERP like SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics to trigger actions in your Didit checklists

• add an image from a comment to a checklist so it appears on your pdf report

Multiple checklists on the same Jira issue

Currently you can only have one Didit checklist at a time per Jira issue. You can replace a checklist on an issue, i.e. complete one checklist and replace it with another. But you can’t work with multiple checklists at the same time.

You might, for example, want to have a testing checklist and a release checklist visible at the same time on an issue for a new piece of software. For an employee onboarding task, you might want an onboarding checklist, a 30-day follow-up checklist, and an induction training checklist all on the same issue.

As several customers have asked for this, we’re actively working on implementing this feature.

Because of all this awesomeness, Didit Checklists for Jira is going paid

In order to facilitate the development of all the features discussed above, Didit Checklists for Jira has just become a paid app. After three years of being free, the product is now mature enough that it is making a big and tangible difference to our customers. Revenue from paid subscriptions will allow us to implement more of your requests and make the app more suitable for specific users' needs and use cases.

Why not just move to a competitor?

You might be asking, if Didit’s going paid, why not just move to a different Jira checklist app that’s still free?

Well, Didit’s main competitor is Issue Checklist for Jira by HeroCoders. Yes, they do offer a free checklist app, but it only lets you create six checklist templates in the hope that you’ll upgrade to the Pro version. This means, the only companies that the free app is suitable for are very small ones without much need for checklists. For larger companies that require a lot of checklists regularly, you’d need the Pro version of the Issue Checklist app, which is a paid app just like Didit.

So the next question is, is Didit better than Issue Checklist for Jira by HeroCoders?

Well, here’s a list of things you can do with Didit, that you can’t do with the HeroCoders app. That way, you can see if any of these features are important to you – and make up your own mind.

Didit for Jira versus Issue Checklist for Jira

Issue Checklist is just a Jira app – Didit is MORE

• Unlike Issue Checklist for Jira, your Didit checklists and checklist templates are completely independent of your Jira issues and can be created and used outside of Jira issues.

• Didit lets non-Jira users fill out checklists with public sharing and QR codes. You can also make a non-Jira user a template manager. This is great if you want to allow an external contractor or customer to make and use checklists and checklist templates within their business.

• Our Didit for Confluence app lets you share your Jira checklists with Confluence users. If you have both apps, all your checklists are synced between them.

Didit offers way more checklist options than Issue Checklist

• You can add images and notes to checklist items to explain or show what’s been done.

• You can require a signature on a completed checklist for better compliance and accountability.

• You can see usage statistics on your checklist templates.

• You can export one or multiple checklists as a PDF for reporting purposes.

• If your checklist item is a question, you can enable users to answer yes or no. You can also make the user explain if they’ve clicked “no”. For example:

  • Question: “Did you clean the floors?”

  • Answer: “No.”

  • Explanation: “I cleaned them yesterday.”

Didit is more suitable if you need regular checklists

• Issue Checklist does not by itself offer the ability to automatically generate the same checklist on a regular basis. Didit does.

• You could use Jira automation to create Jira issues with the same Issue Checklist template, but you’d use up an Automation execution you might need elsewhere.

• You might not want new issues every time you want a checklist. If you just need to verify that 10 servers are running every morning, moving an issue through a workflow is overkill. With Issue Checklist, your checklists are tied to your issues, so you don’t have a choice. But with Didit, you can set up recurring checklists without creating a single issue. That way you avoid cluttering up your instance and adding unnecessary admin to your workday.

Didit offers easy mobile access

• Trying to use Jira on a phone is nobody’s idea of fun. However, Issue Checklist only lets you work with your checklists via the Jira app. Didit, on the other hand, lets you access checklists independently of Jira with QR codes or public links.

• Didit also offers an iOS and Android app if you have non-Jira users regularly working with your checklists (or indeed have Jira users who hate Jira on phones!)

Didit helps you establish new processes quickly with AI

• If you’re not sure what your checklist should look like, perhaps because you’re creating a new process, then you can use AI to generate one and save yourself time researching.

Didit has a better name!

• So, you know, if you want to be cool, use Didit 😉 😎

How to obtain a Didit license

You can obtain a license by navigating to “Manage Apps” in your Jira, clicking on Didit, and upgrading to the latest version.

You can of course still trial the app for free on the Atlassian Marketplace (and we encourage it!). All users of the free app will get those extra 30 days as well.

You can find out about pricing and what happens if you don’t upgrade in our documentation.

And if you have questions about this change, contact us through our support portal, or book an appointment to chat with our customer success manager Andy Barker.

We want this transition to be as smooth as possible for all our customers, and we look forward to taking Didit to new heights with your help!
