At first glance, one may feel overwhelmed by the depth offered by Structure for Jira, however, its value is quickly realized when multiple teams are required to deliver across multiple projects with conflicting priorities.
With Structure for Jira, people can arrange Jira issues in any manner of their choosing in an unlimited number of ways simultaneously.
Structure for Jira can be used for a variety of different use cases, such as grooming product backlogs, tracking progress across multiple teams, or planning sprints and releases.
With ALM Works being an official tooling partner for SAFe, Structure for Jira provides a foundation for your agile implementation at scale.
