offers, their capacities, their limits, their cost.

Secondly, the study makes an introduction to the

Marketplace. For Jira, the offer is very important,
and it makes it possible to greatly increase the native
capacities of the product, either by improving existing
uses, or by opening it up to new ones. Spectrum Groupe
starts from the observation that it is sometimes
complex to differentiate certain applications that
seem very similar, in an ever richer marketplace.
The marketplace is one of the great strengths of
the publisher Atlassian, because of the wide choice
it offers to develop Jira. But this asset can become
a headache for those who wish to meet a need and
find themselves faced with a wide choice of solutions.

Groupe, we believe that you must first clearly identify
your need, and try to meet it with a good knowledge
of the market, respecting its constraints such as the
budget or the licencing mode.

Through this guide, Spectrum Groupe puts its expertise

to the benefit of project managers, administrators and
decision-makers. This aims to help people discover the
