Introduction to Jira Product Discovery: video

[#1]

Jira Product Discovery helps teams prioritize, collaborate on, and deliver new product ideas - all in Jira. This short video walks through how best to get started.

Narrator: Hello and welcome to Jira Product Discovery. Here's a quick demo on how it works.

We use ideas to capture product opportunities, user problems, and possible solutions. Now, every idea has fields just like this, and each idea can be organized in views based on these fields. More on that in a bit.

You can remove existing fields or you can add new ones. Or, if you want, you can create one of your own. For example, I might add a competitive differentiator field here. I can choose from a standard field type, including custom formula, or I can just use the sliding scale to express it here. It's really easy to toggle.

Now, ideas are good, but prioritizing is so much easier when those ideas are packed with insights. When I go into this idea, I can see existing insights added already from research and from sales. I can add my own via comment or dropping a link, or better again, using the Chrome extension. I can just highlight what I want to include and attach it to the right idea in Jira Product Discovery. Now all of my ideas and their insights are all in one place.

Once you've captured the relevant data, it's time to prioritize. The ideas you've gathered can be organized into views based on fields:

• This is the list view, where I easily compare ideas based on the fields I've set.
• The board view is a great way to engage multiple stakeholders with the same data.
• The timeline view lets you share a high-level view of what's coming.
• The Matrix view gives you a visual way to quickly compare ideas so you can easily identify quick wins or big bets.

And of course, you can always create any number of custom views yourself. So maybe I want to give the head of sales a quick view into what we're delivering for our biggest customers. I create a new view, I can group it with what I know she's most interested in, which is key customers, and then I can quickly edit this view, adding and removing fields.

Now that you've discovered the right thing to focus on, it's important that you can communicate across the company and keep everybody engaged. Board views let you create custom boards to tell stories tailored to particular stakeholders. You just select the columns that your stakeholders most care about, and your ideas will automatically be organized by this field. Just like all views, it's really easy to share this across all stakeholders in the business.

Using a timeline view, product managers can share what's coming up in the next several quarters and their level of commitment. Instead of being pinged by individual stakeholders, PMs could just share an always up-to-date view.

Finally, once ideas have been prioritized, you can link ideas to the development work happening in Jira Software directly from the delivery panel. You can expand to see the progress of existing work, or you can create a delivery ticket yourself, whether that be an epic, a story, or any other Jira Software issue type. You then get a bird's-eye view of the work happening directly from Jira Product Discovery. And don't forget, you can choose to surface this delivery field in any view.

Okay, that's it. Please make sure to join our community for news about product and practices, and good luck!

Interesting idea 👀 Is there a particular reason/use case/request why you would make transcripts for videos?

I don't know if we'll have a benefit with this, although the requirement for this never really represented itself. The only thing that would be easier this way is 'quoting' particular parts of the video as we wouldn't need to manually extract what the speaker said.
💡Maybe, if there was an expand/collapse option on the community articles, it wouldn't be a bad idea to put the text out there.

@Tomislav Tobijas _Koios_ having a video transcript available helps with accessibility and findability as well :)
