Jira is a brilliant tool used by tens of thousands of companies around the world, from smaller businesses to multi-national organisations. But, like with any software, there can be challenges when it is used at scale.
Before diving straight into the problems that you may face, it’s important to point out that reaching ‘scale’ is a gradual process, where the challenges and issues encountered will increase in urgency and impact. It’s this gradual process that may catch administrators by surprise and before you know it you could be faced with potential problems.
Larger Jira instances can often show a reduction in speed and performance due to the vast number of configuration items. Other problems may also occur in such environments relating to:
- Response and load times
- Stability and failure rates
- Ease of maintainability and indexing time
In most cases, the solution is simple in theory but complex in execution.
A sequence of procedures has to be put in place for the acceptance of any new configuration items, and the current setup has to be constantly monitored and maintained. This often requires a team of administratorsto maintain it in a way that is sustainable.
Finding actionable objects can be time consuming
These operations are time consuming and the likelihood of an action being taken in error can be high, as the data has to be manually cross-referenced by trawling through pages of configuration items to find any actionable objects.
It goes without saying that these time-consuming tasks reduce productivity, as well as risk system stability and data integrity. You and your Jira administrators need a single page solution that can do the heavy lifting for you whilst saving time, money and resources. Sounds too good to be true, right?
Well, we are glad to say it’s not!
Introducing…
How does it work?
Optimizer for Jira guides you though improving Jira system performance and maintaining stability using 3 core steps:
Analysis
You’ll have access to integrated health checks which can help detect problems before they occur through heap, thread and database monitoring. This allows you to pinpoint the best areas for improvement and use your time most efficiently.
Selection
Do you currently have to adjust objects one by one? Well, this could be a thing of the past with Optimizer for Jira as you can delete or modify objects in bulk. It will also allow you to queue actions or perform them right away and collaborate with other administrators with a shared queue.
Optimization
It’s in the name really! You’ll have access to a powerful task management system allowing you to queue actions (such as deletions or user inactivation) and automatically execute them in bulk. Save time by allowing these actions to run in the background whilst maintaining a full audit trail of tasks completed.
