Worksection vs Jira: What system to choose

Key fea­tures of the service:

1. Hourly rate sup­port for ser­vice teams. Keep the work under con­trol with the built-in timer and report­ing sys­tem. Cal­cu­late your real prof­it from each project by ana­lyz­ing how much time the team spends on it. Hourly rate allows you to main­tain busi­ness trans­paren­cy and find unprof­itable processes.
2. Min­i­mal­is­tic inter­face. One of Work­sec­tion’s goals is to make project man­age­ment tools under­stand­able for every­one. The sys­tem does not com­pli­cate the per­cep­tion of the ser­vice with unnec­es­sary ele­ments, ensur­ing ease of use.
3. Cus­tomer focus. Sup­port at all stages of the imple­men­ta­tion process. Our sup­port team is avail­able 24 hours a day, with an aver­age response time of three min­utes. Our experts pro­vide qual­i­fied, indi­vid­u­al­ized advice, rather than gener­ic answers from AI chatbots.

Jira

Key fea­tures of the service:

1. Tools for tech­ni­cal teams. Jira has all the nec­es­sary tools for tech­ni­cal project man­age­ment: back­logs, sprints, sto­ry points, bug con­trol. It sup­ports effec­tive plan­ning, track­ing, and con­trol of the entire soft­ware devel­op­ment cycle.
2. Sup­port for Agile and DevOps. Jira lets you auto­mate test­ing process­es by sup­port­ing inte­gra­tion with CI/CD tools such as Jenk­ins, Bam­boo, and Travis CI. Flex­i­ble ser­vice con­fig­u­ra­tion enables you to coor­di­nate prod­uct releas­es by adjust­ing the sta­tus. Jira also sup­ports agile method­olo­gies such as Scrum and Kan­ban. This allows you to apply flex­i­ble man­age­ment practices.
3. Cus­tomiza­tion. Exten­sive options for cus­tomiza­tion to meet spe­cif­ic busi­ness needs. Automa­tion of work­flows, cus­tom fields, and access to spe­cif­ic exten­sions for the most flex­i­ble use of the platform.

Who can use Work­sec­tion and Jira?

Work­sec­tion 

Work­sec­tion might be right for you, in case you are

• A non-tech­ni­cal or hybrid team. Thanks to its intu­itive inter­face, even spe­cial­ists with­out project man­age­ment expe­ri­ence can work effec­tive­ly in Work­sec­tion. The ser­vice is ide­al for non-tech­ni­cal and hybrid teams where spe­cial­ists of dif­fer­ent pro­files work togeth­er: pro­gram­mers, mar­keters, sales man­agers, etc.
• Ser­vice busi­ness. Timers and reports are the main tools to con­trol the mar­gin of ser­vice busi­ness­es. Thanks to Work­sec­tion hourly rate sup­port, all it takes is a few clicks to start a timer for a spe­cif­ic task and the data is auto­mat­i­cal­ly trans­ferred to reports for fur­ther analysis.
• A team of 10 to 100 peo­ple. The plat­form is ide­al for small and scal­able teams. Work­sec­tion is able to adapt to the pace of your growth thanks to its ver­sa­tile project struc­ture: mul­ti­ple lev­els of sub-tasks, sta­tus­es, tags, etc. 

You should con­sid­er an alter­na­tive to Work­sec­tion if

• You have a tech­ni­cal team that requires Agile/​DevOps and automa­tion. How­ev­er, Work­sec­tion focus­es on con­cise­ness, which is why it does­n’t include mul­ti-lev­el automa­tion and AI integration.
• Your require­ments include exten­sive cus­tomiza­tion options and work with tem­plates. Com­pared to oth­er ser­vices, Work­sec­tion has lim­it­ed cus­tomiza­tion func­tion­al­i­ty and no ready-made templates.

Jira 

Jira is able to increase the potential

• Large enter­pris­es and cor­po­ra­tions (100+ peo­ple in a team). Jira is suit­able for the orga­ni­za­tion of many users with com­plex work­flows. You can effec­tive­ly man­age and coor­di­nate the work of many teams and depart­ments thanks to the flex­i­bil­i­ty and vari­abil­i­ty of the sys­tem structure.
• Agile and DevOps teams. Jira inte­grates with DevOps tools. This helps auto­mate process­es and improve pro­duc­tiv­i­ty. It also enables teams to adapt to change and respond quick­ly to new require­ments by sup­port­ing agile method­olo­gies such as Scrum.
• Cross-func­tion­al prod­uct teams. Jira tools let you eas­i­ly track progress, share infor­ma­tion, and resolve issues rapid­ly. The coor­di­na­tion of dif­fer­ent areas of work ensures the high­est qual­i­ty of the product.

You should con­sid­er anoth­er ser­vice if

• You’re a dig­i­tal team or the own­er of a local cloth­ing brand and don’t need func­tion­al­i­ty to orga­nize devel­op­ment stages. Of course, Jira has exten­sive func­tion­al­i­ty, but not all teams need it. So, if you are a non-tech­ni­cal team, and you don’t see the point of over­pay­ing for fea­tures that you are not going to use, you should look at ser­vice analogues.
• You want a sim­ple and straight­for­ward sys­tem that does­n’t require sig­nif­i­cant team resources for onboard­ing. For most users, the num­ber of Jira tools is dif­fi­cult to han­dle, which makes it hard to get start­ed quickly.

Why should you choose Worksection?

Rea­son #1: Hourly rate support

Work­sec­tion reports and time tracker

1. Struc­ture. Each client in the sys­tem is a sep­a­rate project, where you can set tasks and split them into two lev­els of sub­tasks. In addi­tion, it is pos­si­ble to set pri­or­i­ties and dead­lines, which ensures con­sis­ten­cy in work planning.
2. Time track­er. Thanks to the built-in time track­er, you can eas­i­ly con­trol time by com­par­ing planned indi­ca­tors with real ones. It helps you to know exact­ly how much time was spent on each task.
3. Reports. Work­sec­tion pro­vides an oppor­tu­ni­ty to ana­lyze the team’s work­load and com­pare it with the results obtained from col­lab­o­ra­tion. Real-time ana­lyt­ics of project data helps to opti­mize work and increase its efficiency.

As a result, you get:

• The actu­al amount of time spent on the project. By doc­u­ment­ing the resources spent using time track­ing tools, you can make informed finan­cial deci­sions in favor of more prof­itable projects.
• The abil­i­ty to elim­i­nate unprof­itable projects or opti­mize process­es with­in them. Ana­lyz­ing the results of work with the account­abil­i­ty sys­tem, you can iden­ti­fy projects that do not bring the expect­ed prof­it or waste resources.
