“JIRA makes transitions when teammates are out of the office much easier. In addition, the ability to track

what we are working on, who is requesting information from us and

how often they request it has offered us great insight into our team and its function within the Firm as a whole.

We can more easily recognize patterns of requests and plan ahead

for future tasks.”!Corinna Lyon!
