Every organization can encounter an issue with effective communication among all team members, data collection, or sharing. Due to a lack of knowledge, data loss, misunderstanding, some processes can be significantly slowed down. When several teams or departments are involved in the project’s completion, the problem may become even worse.
The top 3 reasons for seeking more automation, according to Adaptavist’s “State of the Atlassian ecosystem” research, are the need to optimize business processes (64% of survey participants), reduce operational costs (45% of survey participants), and improve tool integration(42% of survey participants).
How can the task manager ensure that everyone works on the task effectively? Jira Forms is the answer.
Form in Jira: What is it and how to use it?
Jira Forms is the simplest solution for collecting additional data within Jira without having to customize the software. The manager can generate one form for each project, share it with the rest of the team or members of other teams, and have them fill it out and share it. That’s all there is to it. Everything genius is straightforward!
Forms come in handy when you need to do the following:
- Collect and share the necessary data with your colleagues.
- Submit your team’s work requests.
- Assist project members in generating new issues.
Every time someone updates the Jira Form, it is available to all members with all the permissions. It facilitates the gathering and sharing of information. No matter if you’re a technical or non-technical worker – Jira Forms will simplify the working procedures for you.
