Server Customers: Announcing Jira Service Management

[#1]

Hello there Server Community members! 

Today, we’re thrilled to announce Jira Service Management, the next generation of Jira Service Desk. We designed Jira Service Management to help your development and IT operations teams collaborate at high-velocity, so they can respond to business changes and deliver great service experiences fast.

Jira Service Management Server contains all the rich capabilities of Jira Service Desk including request portals, service catalogs, queues, and SLAs. In addition, Jira Service Management Server now provides:

• Modern Incident Management: We streamline the connectivity with Opsgenie (available with a separate purchase) giving agents the ability to link, create, and escalate service requests as major incidents. 

• A supercharged agent experience: Now teams are empowered to manage multiple issues at once with bulk actions including; watching, linking, commenting, assigning, and deleting.

• ITSM on the go: Jira Service Management mobile is now available for Server, enabling your team to take action at any time from the convenience of a smartphone or tablet.
     

                         

These exciting updates will be available in the next release by the end of November. Server customers should note that Jira Service Management Cloud contains even more capabilities centered on incident and change management, and includes Opsgenie functionality without a separate purchase.

Maybe its just me, but as a current jira server customer, I don't see anything new here, other then a branding change. None of the "new" features are new. 

All in all this just reminds me of the big "Jira-Ops" announcement 2 years ago. Lots of fanfare, but nothing actually came out of it.

Hi @Andrew Laden thanks for the feedback! I'll pass it off to the team. Hopefully these additional details are helpful: 

Jira Service Desk Server and Data Center will be changed to Jira Service Management in the next release.(By the end of November) The new change management and asset/configuration management features are coming soon to Data Center.

Thanks!

@Kate Clavet Other than including Insight with Jira Service Desk Data Center (sorry, Jira Service Management), are there any other features coming from this announcement to server or data center?

EDIT: Duh, you listed it. Sorry about that.

Hello @Kate Clavet , just to let you know I visited https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213632/jira-service-management/version-history to try to ascertain which version number I needed to be on JSM rather than JSD, but it wasn't very obvious given all just listed as Minor bugfix release, shouldn't one of them show as being the point of distinction between JSD and JSM? I'm guessing from the above that 4.14.0 or above is the answer, but thought I should feed back that it wasn't clear and hence recommend you might want to change the description for the relevant version. 

Look forward to trying it out (probably 4.15.0), thanks Tom

Hi @Tom Hawkins , thanks for that feedback, I appreciate it. I'll pass it on to the team for future reference. You are correct it is 4.15.0

Best,
Kate
