Hello! Welcome to the community group for Jira Product Discovery!

[#1]

Jira Product Discovery is a solution for teams looking to build their next great product. 

Jira Product Discovery helps you capture Insights as you work, gather & distil those insights into Ideas - things you have discovered that you might want to build. An Idea has Fields which allows for rich, dynamic sorting and comparison. Views such as a roadmaps, lists and 2x2s allow you to prioritise, rank and solicit input from customers or colleagues. Once you’ve decided what needs to be built, Delivery Tickets help transfer those Ideas will full context & history to development teams via Jira Software.

Welcome to Jira Product Discovery!

Meet the team

You have the eyes and ears of the team building Jira Product Discovery, and we are actively involved in this group! You’ll hear from:

• Product managers: Tanguy Crusson, Hermance NDounga and Rohan Swami
• Designers: Catalin Bridinel, Hanna Sazanova and Amy Yu
• Marketers: John McKiernan and Chris Hall

We would love for you to introduce yourselves when you join. Then hop in on the discussion – no question, idea or feedback is off limits!

Getting started

The easiest way to get started is by watching the Introduction to Jira Product Discovery video and following along.

You also can follow these 5 steps to get started:

1. Create ideas to capture problems and opportunities directly in Jira Product Discovery. Ideas can be added manually when in a list or board view or imported from one of our many integrations such as Slack or our Chrome extension.

2. Add views to prioritize, organize, and share your plans. You will find a few lists and boards already created for you – take a look and see what works for you! If you are creating a view that will be shared with stakeholders, try creating a board and adding some colors to help your stakeholders easily understand the information.

3. Customize fields to track what matters to you and your stakeholders. Want to balance data and giving your team a voice? Try using voting as a field and a calculated field for priority score!

4. Connect the apps you use for user feedback, product analytics and more in the capture section. Check out some of the integrations we recommend in our capture section, and if you don’t see your favorites there, let us know!

5. Send ideas for delivery to Jira and stay on top of the status as work progresses. You can send any idea to your dev team in the delivery tab of the idea or from your list view.

Here are some additional best practices to follow:

• Capture data from user interview notes and any website using the Chrome extension (also works on Edge)

• Create your own prioritization views

• Prioritize product ideas using input from other teams

• Send ideas for delivery in Jira Software and stay on top of their progress

If you need help…

There are two places you can go:

• Of course, this group where you can start a discussion or ask a question to get help from the Jira Product Discovery team as well as the broader community.

• In the product, use the “Submit Feedback” button to send us bugs and suggestions for how to improve the product.

Hi, I signed up a couple of weeks ago. When should I hear something about being in the Beta?

Thanks

[Chris Hall]

Hi guys, we are excited about this new functionality in Jira to link front end ideation in the same tool as delivery. Looking at the videos the functionality looks great so excited about trying it out. I am at the initial stage on planning the beta trial and deciding if we just do a light trial or go deeper on the assumption we would adopt. To help with this decision it would be good to get an indication on the likely bounds of the additional subscription costs once this is GA?

I recently dived into JPD with my team and they are absolutely loving it! Here are a few things that the team likes:
- Analysis of impact items can be done directly within JPD

- We can create a customized Matrix view with our own X, Y axis.
- We have the ability to change the "Groupings" within the Plan view. This really helps the team understand the various inputs used to determine an item's priority ranking.
- Quarterly roadmaps are SO EASY to create and modify (similar to trello)

There's so much my team is loving about JPD so far!!! GJ Atlassian for finally making this aspect of what's been needed for so long within the Atlassian suite of products. We're thrilled this is here!!!

[Chris Hall]

Glad to hear you and your team are enjoying the product so much @Jonathan Hau!! Thanks for the positive feedback!

[Tremis Skeete]

Hello! I just wanted to say thank you to the Atlassian JPD product team for allowing me to sign up. As I explore the features I'm totally seeing the possibilities for how JPD can make an impact. I look forward to learning more about what Jira Product Discovery is capable of. Thanks everyone!

[sadamkiewicz]

Hi -

When do you intend for this product to be out of Beta testing? At that time will this feature be a paid add on?

[Chris Hall]

Hey @sadamkiewicz, welcome to the Jira Product Discovery community! You can refer to this FAQ for any questions about the beta program and licensing: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Product-Discovery-articles/Frequently-asked-questions-about-the-beta-program-licensing-etc/ba-p/1873127.

[sadamkiewicz]

Thanks, @Chris Hall , however, the FAQ does not specify when the Discovery project will go GA nor does it provide information on pricing. We'd like to know more about this before committing to using the feature. Do you have any more information?

[David Meredith]

Hi all,

I'm excited to test the product and provide some feedback. I've signed up and I've got an e-mail saying 'Welcome to Jira Product Discovery BETA' but I don't seem to have a way to create a Discovery project?

In my projects list I can filter for JPD projects but there doesn't seem to be an option when I go through the create projects menu?

I may be doing something wrong... Can someone please provide some guidance?

[Chris Hall]

Hi @David Meredith! Welcome to the group and we're excited to have you in the Jira Product Discovery beta. The product discovery template is located in the product management sub menu. Once you click "use template," you will be prompted to set up a project. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

[David Meredith]

Hey Chris,

The BETA signup hadn't worked propertly for my instance. Did it again and it's all fine now. Thanks

[Chris Hall]

Great to hear! Thanks for the update @David Meredith!

[Aidan Depetro]

Hi All,

Having customised Jira Software to suit our discovery workflow, I'm definitely excited to give this a try.

I've entered the beta and can see Jira Product discovery in my Jira instance now, although it says I need to create a project - how do I add or link JPD to an existing Jira Software project? Or do I need to create a separate JPD project if I want to use it for my product?

[Chris Hall]

Hi @Aidan Depetro! Welcome to Jira Product Discovery! You can watch this video to see how you can link an idea in Jira Product Discovery to an issue in Jira Software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYBq2HrATN0. You will first need to create a new Jira Product Discovery project to do this.

Please reach out if you have any additional questions!

[Zeinab Ibrahim]

Hey everyone, my name is zeinab and I'm a product manager  I'm super excited about this new feature and i decided to learn about it all today

[Veselina Milanova]

Hey everyone, another PM here and extremely excited seeing the possibility to keep all things product from discovery to delivery and roadmap in one tool! One thing I'd be keen on understanding from others is how do you enable an opportunity - solutions view? I've entered some opportunities we've discovered and would love to show the multiple solutions there could be within an opportunity. How would you suggest doing that?

[lkoffi]

Hi team, i'm leandre KOFFI, Information system architect. I'm enthousiast about this app. It helps more people with middle skills to achieve great things. Thanks for all.

[John McKiernan]

Hi all, 

I am glad to say we can finally share that:

1) JPD will definitely be moving to GA (date yet to be confirmed)

2) The pricing for Jira Product Discovery is ready. Read all about it over here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Product-Discovery-articles/Announcing-Jira-Product-Discovery-pricing/ba-p/2194104
