Jira cloud in parallel universe

[Jerrold - Empyra]

We love Jira cloud but how it will be in the parallel universe

Jira in parallel universe

• It will have all the server apps in the cloud so we don't have to search for an alternative.

• It will have the same custom field IDs so we don't need to re configure the workflows after the migration.

• It will have the same issue navigator functions from the server.

• Confluence will be included with Jira license.

• we can clone a custom field with its values to create a new field

• Link issue - type can be modified per project

• Jira work management overview feature is available in Jira software also.

What are your thoughts on how Jira Cloud would exist in a parallel universe?

**Please note that this is a lighthearted discussion.**

Splendid list. Last point got my attention, and wanted to ask why would you need overview/summary tab on Jira Software when you have "Dashboard" feature?

[Mauricio Heberle]

- Jira Work Management wont exist (useless)

- Jira Software, Jira SM and Product Discovery will be a single product, where you can toggle features from each, depending on your license

- Workflows will have an extense list of features for conditionals, validators and post-functions

- Field Configuration will cease to exist, Layout and Screens will be merged as one thing.

- JQL will receive more functions and become actually useful

In my Jira parallel universe, I'd be able to filter the gadgets in the Dashboards!!! This is my dream! It would save me soooo much time setting up zillions Dashboards :')

For what it's worth Nathalia Figueira de Oliveira, the Rich Filters plug-in is pretty great. I don't work there, but have been a user for 5+ years and it's the best dashboard plugin I've found.

UPDATE: Found my overview doc for Rich Filters; apologies for the formatting!

[Nathalia Figueira de Oliveira]

Awesome @Haddon Fisher ! Thanks for the tip! I'll try it out :)

Dynamic gadgets for a Dashboard is a must, especially with JSM. When a client call, you need to access his/her issues and assets as fast as possible

[Haddon Fisher]

Where to begin! Off the top of my head and with an implicit +1 for everything that's already been said...

• Better administration UX generally (bulk updates, "where is this used", etc.)
• The ability to rename groups and have non-Site admins manage any which don't convey licences
• Permissioning based on 'Teams'
• This is sort of covered by Mauricio Heberle ("Jira Software, Jira SM and Product Discovery will be a single product, where you can toggle features from each, depending on your license" which absolutely yes) but specifically - Customer Portals for Not-Service-Management projects

More abstractly...

• More attention paid to UX consistency (i.e. stop introducing new patterns to solve the same problem)
• More attention paid to customer asks\requests\needs when scheduling the roadmap
• Better support and enablement for add-ons, so there is less they can't do
• Less blatant nickel-and-diming

UPDATE: Had I thought of this one, I think I would have just written it instead of the book: "Team managed projects were implemented with all of the rough edges already filed off". So much untapped potential but so painful right now.

In a parallel universe, our JSM would set up, update, maintain, clean up, modify, and expand itself based on my thoughts alone while I sat back with a cup of coffee and watched. 

[Ricardo.Gomes]

You forgot to mention, in a parallel universe, Atlassian would actually listed to users and make changes without making you wait over 15 years just because it's a not a lucrative move...

[Martin Kovalcik]

Surely there would be priority schemes.

[Haddon Fisher]

These are coming! And they're mostly ok.
