@sushant is reviewing this so let's toss a more comprehensive description of user needs and business value here than the single sentence up there.
Business Value
Currently, organizations are purchasing additional software such as Aha! to give their clients the ability to review tickets and vote on them. his has everything to do with not having to purchase a Jira seat for everyone who needs to post, review, comment, and vote on issues. The ability to vote on service desk issues would enable this within the Atlassian cloud, save customers money, and generate additional revenue for Atlassian for use of service desk rather than software from another maker.
User Needs
Besides just "the ability to vote" I suggest:
- The ability to vote using a 1 to 5 likert scale rather than just voting up or down
- The ability to leave a comment with a vote that is visible to others, with limited character input (max 1 paragraph-ish)
- The ability to see how many other people voted, and what the results are so far (without showing how particular users or visitors voted)
- The ability for administrators to select whether Jira users/admins can see how which users voted or whether they can just see how many voted and what the results are.
- The ability for a user to easily select to watch an issue they voted on, perhaps as easy 1 click suggestion after completing the voting process
- The ability to send a poll for voting to a group of users/e-mail addresses (sent as BCC to avoid inbox deluge when folks reply)
- The ability to set an expiration date/time to cast a vote
- The ability to send reminders to vote, triggered automatically within a certain time of the expiration date/time or manually
- The ability to send the users who voted on issues, and other users/e-mail addresses the results of a given poll, with space for custom messages that has some suggested text such as "The results are in! Thank you for voting on your priorities, our team will take in your valuable feedback as input for our prioritization process"
- The ability to skip voting for a given issue that's part of a poll
You're welcome!
Hi d0d1ba410583, our customers and managers really need this capability and I'm looking into possible workarounds, but is there an update on when this will be added to your roadmap?
