Would you recommend Jira Align as a tool for product managers? Experienced product managers discuss the Jira onboarding process and alternatives. This thread by Matt Jastremski and mark occurred in Product School's official #06_product_tools Slack channel and has been edited for readability. Slogging Matt Jastremski Jul 12, 2021, 2:16 AM Does anyone use Jira Align? We're evaluating it but their demo environment is more of a video tour - very hard to get a clear picture of how it works. mark Jul 12, 2021, 10:37 AM I’d suggest also setting up a demo. Matt Jastremski Jul 12, 2021, 10:42 AM That's what I'm saying. We did. They gave us a presentation and then gave us logins... but you can't actually do anything in their demo environment besides follow a guided tour. Can't add or edit records or navigate the tool. It's insane. We've tried a ton of different tools and none of them locks down their trial accounts like this. Super suspect. mark Jul 12, 2021, 2:44 PM Wow that's lame. Did you express that to them? Be like we want to use it as if we bought it. Sales people will do a lot to sell you 😉 Matt Jastremski Jul 12, 2021, 4:41 PM Yeah, no response yet! 😍 1 mark Jul 12, 2021, 4:45 PM Linear.app is amazing.
