Goals in Jira
Companies want to align their work to goals so that they know they're working on the right things, but Atlassian’s goals experience was poorly integrated with where work was tracked in Jira.
My role
I championed a set of components to power the integration, creating a predictable experience for users wherever they interact with goals, and speeding up our integration with other products.
Impact
80K monthly active users of goals and 3 reusable component patterns.
Design details
A seamless integration so that using goals in Jira feels familiar.
I designed a component for searching, creating and linking goals which could be used across Jira (the issue detail view, and this table view), as well as being used to link other objects (such as people and projects) and across apps.
Goals can be opened in a preview panel. I championed this approach to reduce context switching for our users, and to bring goals closer to wherever users work.
Process highlights
I championed a component approach, which was a change in tactic for our team, and influenced stakeholders across our organisation to reach an agreed experience.
An original concept mock for the goals preview panel within Jira, which I used to position the idea to my own team and our stakeholders within Jira.
I also produced concepts which we discarded, such as this directory for goals within Jira, as we decided on another approach to navigation.
Once we prioritised the use cases we wanted to support with our integration with Jira, I produced end to end journeys for testing and complete component designs.
