INTRODUCING JIRA ALIGN – AGILE SCALED FOR THE ENTERPRISE



As organizations grow, the potential benefits of scaling agile increase across
the board. However, the challenges standing in the way of effective scaling grow
and change as well. The most common of these challenges fall into three main
buckets:

 * Lack of alignment – various levels of the organization are disjointed and are
   therefore unable to move forward efficiently toward established goals, or
   unable to effectively communicate what those goals are.
 * Lack of predictability – with numerous development teams working
   simultaneously without effective alignment, releases become more and more
   complex and unwieldy and KPIs are routinely compromised.
 * Lack of governance – metrics, reporting, and monitoring are poorly controlled
   and slow in affecting action, so agility is sacrificed in favor of
   bureaucracy.

There’s a point at which an enterprise’s development organization is too large
and complex to effectively stay agile without an overarching management platform
that takes a top-down approach to monitoring and managing widespread development
teams.

That’s where Jira Align comes in.


WHAT IS JIRA ALIGN?



Atlassian Jira Align (formerly known as AgileCraft) is a solution built from the
top down to effectively fill the “complexity gap” even large enterprises end up
facing as they try to scale agile. It was rated as the unmatched industry leader
in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Agile Planning Tools in April, 2019,
and for good reason. As the newest member of the Atlassian tech stack, Jira
Align fills that vital role above and beyond where Jira and Jira Portfolio have
admirably performed.

Built to align organizations around common goals and objectives, Jira Align
provides that overarching platform that starts at the very top — with business
goals and strategies — and carries those guidelines down all the way to the
individual team level, offering visibility and context to every stakeholder
along the way.

With Jira Align, everyone in the project lifecycle can see what’s happening in
real time. The solution integrates seamlessly with the tools you’re already
using — like Jira, Trello, and more — to keep everyone apprised of current and
future status. And, that “golden thread of data” becomes more visible and useful
to everyone. With over 250 reports built in and custom reporting capabilities,
real time and historic monitoring becomes part of the fabric of the agile
organization.


WHAT FEATURES MAKE JIRA ALIGN STAND OUT?

Jira Align is a cloud solution, available in two variations:

 * Standard
 * Enterprise


In all cases, the goal is to provide visibility and monitoring capability into
every level of the organization so that development activities can be handled
with agility.

Some of the key features that make this possible include Rooms, in which
stakeholders at various levels of the organization can access the full store of
reporting and monitoring, geared toward their individual roles, all in one
place.

The Integrations also create powerful efficiencies by breaking down barriers
between disparate teams who may be using different applications. For larger
enterprise organizations who are seeking unification following a merger or
acquisition, this can be an especially valuable tool to get everyone on the same
page quickly.

Value streams help managers monitor ongoing work without micromanaging or
slowing down progress. This keeps development teams and release trains running
“on schedule” while ensuring they’re working in line with strategic business
goals.

As already noted, Reports are centralized to ensure that every stakeholder
receives any and all data they need, quickly, accurately, and consistently. As
opposed to ad hoc spreadsheets prepared differently by every division manager,
one centralized database provides coherent reporting to every level of the
organization.

In addition to these core features, Jira Align allows for unification in
terminology, consistency in controls, and a clear, fundamental understanding
that extends organization wide. As a result, it drives visibility,
predictability, and velocity across all development teams.


WHO IS JIRA ALIGN FOR?

As already noted, Jira Align is especially beneficial for larger organizations
in which the “complexity gap” has started to create problems. It also works very
well for highly regulated industries that need a more thorough level of real
time monitoring and granular reporting at every level of the organization.

Small to medium-sized businesses are likely able to accomplish what they need
using Jira. Medium-sized organizations that have matured to the portfolio level
of their agile journey can often benefit from upgrading to Jira Portfolio, but
still may not need all that Jira Align has to offer.

Large companies and enterprise organizations that want to experience the
benefits of scaling agile effectively from the top down are really the “sweet
spot” customers that can get the most out of Jira Align. These companies are
often trying to integrate 4-5 levels of agile scaling and may even be running
multiple instances of Jira already, so alignment has become a real challenge.

Within those optimal organizations, aspects of the Jira Align platform will
appeal well to program managers (or RTEs), product managers, portfolio managers,
and C-suite executives alike. All stakeholders can benefit from a centralized
management platform and reporting database that covers the agile development
process from every angle.

Stay tuned for a future article diving deep into how Jira Align benefits each of
these roles.

With metrics and scorecards that provide transparency into what the teams are
actually working on, Jira Align will save a considerable amount of time and have
it all in one solution. Jira Align provides real-time visibility into:

 * Portfolio Value to Spend
 * Budget vs Estimate vs Actual
 * Strategic Governance
 * Resource Management
 * Metrics and Scorecards
 * Project Funding and Status


JIRA ALIGN VS JIRA PORTFOLIO

Since Jira Align is relatively new to the Atlassian tech stack, many existing
customers are curious how it compares to Jira Portfolio, which they may already
be using, or to which they had planned to upgrade.

In a nutshell, Jira Align and Jira Portfolio fill two different and
complementary roles in the full agile management ecosystem. Neither effectively
takes the place of the other for the same organization. Instead, they represent
the perfect solution for two different stages of an organization’s agile
journey.

Jira Portfolio does a phenomenal job getting you well situated for reporting and
metrics in the portfolio and program levels. For smaller enterprise
organizations running one instance of Jira, where development teams generally
collaborate to on individual initiatives or epics over time, Jira Portfolio
offers the right combination of management and simplicity to effectively remain
agile.

However, Jira Portfolio does not support multiple Jira instances, and it’s not
really the optimal solution for organizations managing multiple portfolio-level
initiatives at once, or large, ongoing software initiatives that require a lot
of enablement. In those cases, Jira Align offers more flexibility while
connecting enterprise and product strategy from the top down.

In more general terms, Jira Portfolio is often sufficient for organizations with
less than 500 developers and 20 teams, while Jira Align is usually the best
option for enterprises with more than 500 developers on staff and more than 20
teams operating simultaneously.

See this Jira Align vs Jira Portfolio chart for more detail.


JIRA ALIGN PRICING

As a true enterprise solution, Jira Align does carry a higher price tag than
other flavors of Jira. The price is dependent on a number of factors, including
number of users, add-ons selected, and the level of solution your organization
wishes to invest in.

Prices start at $75 per user per month (billed annually) for Standard Jira Align
(Enterprise Jira Align will be higher due to functionality offered). However, as
user numbers rise, significant volume discounts apply. It’s also important to
note that Jira Align pricing is arranged to allow four integrated users for
every “seat” you pay for. So, you can divide your development organization by
four to determine how many seats you’ll need to purchase annually.
