Introducing a new Jira for all teams

[#1]

We’re combining Jira Software with Jira Work Management to create a tool for all teams called… well, Jira. This evolution of Jira offers a shared place for every team to align on goals and priorities, track and collaborate on work, and get the insights they need to build something incredible, together.

This group will now be a place for all Jira product information, questions, tips, and feedback. By the end of October 2024, the Jira Work Management group will be transitioned into this group and become a part of this Jira community.

Note for all community members coming from the Jira Work Management group: All links to the Jira Work Management group will be automatically redirected, but your followed groups will not carry over. If you aren’t already subscribed to the Jira group, click "Watch" in the sidebar to subscribe to articles or questions.

Goal tracking for all teams

In the next few months, we’ll be rolling out Goals in Jira. Users will be able to create goals in Jira’s list and issue views to visualize how each task maps to a higher objective. We’re also introducing new ways to easily view and track progress towards goals – a goals directory where every goal can be viewed and tracked, and goal progress charts in summary view where goals can be viewed in the context of your projects.

AI-powered shortcuts

Starting soon, AI work breakdown (currently rolling out to Jira Premium and Enterprise users in beta) will make suggestions for breaking epics into tasks and stories, so organizing your work is effortless. Once you customize and approve the suggestion, your new work items will be created and nested in the proper hierarchy.  

List view for all teams

We’re bringing the list view to all projects. If you live in spreadsheets (hello, marketing and operations teams!), you’ll feel right at home in the list view, where in-line editing makes for an easy way to manage even the biggest backlogs. In addition to in-line edits, you can also make bulk edits in the list when multiple tickets need to be assigned to the same person or associated with a new goal.

A new and improved Plans

Plans (available in Jira Premium and Enterprise) let you combine issues from different boards, projects, and filters to create an all-encompassing view that spans multiple teams. Now everyone – from leaders to program managers to team members – can estimate release dates for cross-team projects, answer staffing and resource questions, or map out yearly goals, all in a single view.

How to get started on the new Jira experience

If you currently have a Jira Software subscription, you already have access to the new Jira experience today, with no changes to pricing.

If you currently have a Jira Work Management subscription, learn more about how these changes will take place.

Hi @Leslie Hubertus 

Thanks for this announcement.  It appears your first link to the blog announcement is broken.  Please update that one when you have a moment.  Thanks, again!

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy - the blog link is now working. Thank you for flagging!

Hello @Leslie Hubertus ,

You are mentioning the following, 

If you currently have a Jira Software subscription, you already have access to the new Jira experience today, with no changes to pricing.

It seems that at least in our instance this is not the case.

Is there any plan to release the new experience to all Jira Software instances or a way to manually enable it?

Thank you. 

[Yatish Madhav]

Thanks for this ... ready and at the same time a little scared of these new enhancements to implement and use in our org. 

I also like that you guys are already using the new navigation :D

[Abby Stiris]

Hi @Panagiotis are you on Jira Software DC? All Jira Software Cloud instances have now been updated to Jira and have business projects included as well. Is there a specific feature you're not seeing? Some of the ones mentioned are still being rolled out.

[Panos Annis]

Hello @Abby Stiris ,

We are on Jira cloud. I can now confirm that we have all the features mentioned above.

Thank you.

[Rasmus Henriksen]

Is it correctly understood that if we are also using Jira Service Management, then the changes will only roll out in the beginning of 2025?

[Anyi Weng]

@Rasmus Henriksen - these updates are only for Jira Software. If you're on Jira Software Cloud your instance has been updated to Jira, with no impact to your Jira Service Management subscription or experience.

[Jason Maselino]

In our instance, although the projects are now showing Jira, they are not using the same GUI as shown in this thread. It's still more like Jira work management with everything listed horizontally instead of the options like plans, filters etc. being listed vertically on the left hand side. Is this normal? What do we need to do to convert to the new experience?

[Markus]

@Anyi WengI don't see any of the new GUI changes. All my jira software projects look like they always have

[Anyi Weng]

@Markus - are you on Jira Cloud? If so, you should be able to see the updates (such as list view for software projects). Let us know if there's a specific feature you're not seeing, as some of the ones listed above might still be rolling out.

[Markus]

@Anyi WengYes we have list view, but we do not have the other GUI changes, like the navigation on the left and the project navigation as tabs. WHen will that be pushed out?

[Anyi Weng]

@Markus - thanks for clarifying! Those updates will be coming in the next few months.

[Austin Stone]

We are currently experiencing that same issue. As of right now, we are not able to experience the new UI. Has anyone else had this issue?
