An amazing tool to drive alignment and continuous improvement

  • June 01, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have used jellyfish for more than a year and a half. Over time, the platform has consistently exceeded expectations, providing valuable insights, fostering autonomy, and ensuring alignment with business goals. It has become an indispensable tool for driving high performance in engineering teams.

Jellyfish's operational metrics feature is a game-changer, enabling data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement. It empowers teams to back discussions with factual data, driving positive change and constant improvement.

Jellyfish excels at aligning engineering efforts with business priorities. Communicating key metrics to stakeholders ensures a focused approach that contributes to product strategy and company direction.

Jellyfish's user-friendly interface and customizable reporting enhance effective communication. It's a pleasure to navigate, providing access to the information we need.

In summary, Jellyfish is a transformative tool for engineering teams. With evolving features, it continuously adds value, offering insights, autonomy, and alignment. As a long-term user, I wholeheartedly recommend Jellyfish for organizations seeking to excel and evolve their engineering teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Jellyfish constantly evolve to add more value, one area could use improvement. Occasionally, the graph's color palette changes between versions without any apparent reason. This inconsistency can be a bit confusing and disrupt the user experience. It would be beneficial if the color scheme remained consistent to provide a more cohesive and familiar interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Jellyfish's operational metrics feature provides valuable insights into team performance, addressing the problem of making decisions based sentiments
- it empowers engineering teams by providing tools for tracking and analyzing metrics, allowing them to take ownership of their work and make more autonomous decisions.
- Jellyfish also helps on the alignment side. it makes the engineering efforts visible, and we can see if they align with the business goals.

Excellent reporting, project, delivery, metric and CAPACITY PLANNING tool!!

  • June 01, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is a must have for Scrum Masters, Engineering Managers, Project/Program Managers and software Finance.

As a Scrum Master, I used, on a daily basis, sprint reporting, deliverables & metrics pages in JellyFish.

And at a project/program level, the new Capacity Planner (currently in Alpha roll-out) is a major game-changer!

For Finance, it is a great solution for Software Capitalization and also spend-tracking per project based on FTEs and the great tracking algorithms that touch not only on Jira but also Git - as well as other software.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how the Deliver pages are split between Deliverables In-Progress and Completed Deliverables. It requires that I have to do 2 pulls of data and combine them into 1 spreadsheet when doing calculations that span a timeframe. I feel like that should be an optional setting so I can grab everything I need in 1 pull.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to visualize where the epic deliverables are. It helps a lot with visualizing metrics and allocations. It is integral with tracking software capitalization and monitoring spend against contracts using FTE numbers on each epic.

The new capacity planner is so easy to use and will be a game-change for project/program level management and even Engineering Managers for quarterly/yearly planning.

Makes my world easier by the day

  • June 01, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love Jellyfish as it gives me a fresh daily look at ensuring work allocations and provides insight from a higher-level view which wasn't transparent before using Jellyfish
What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing to dislike about Jellyfish.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work allocation is not being transparent. With jellyfish, that has been resolved. Thanks

Next level metrics!

  • June 01, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have relied heavily on Jira reporting to track project progress and monitor team health, but Jellyfish is next level! The seamless connection of signals from Jira, GitHub and even google calendars puts data together clearly and compellingly, making it easy to tell a story and create transparency. You can quickly drill into details at a very granular level or zoom out to see holistic trends across the organization.

Updating: Adding on to my earlier review as continuning to work with and use Jellyfish has been a great. The tool i very easy to use and coming out with new features every month. The scenarion planning ise useful for thinking through project options, and the new goal setting/tracking feature looks it will replace a lot of manual dashboarding we do now. Additionally, our account rep is fantasitc! We have a direct slack communication set up and whenever we have questions or requests, our rep is on it!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve, and it is an involved process to set up, but the Jellyfish customer support team is highly knowledgeable and responsive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increased transparency that supports informed decision-making and continuous improvement

Metrics across all of engineering at a glance

  • June 01, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I can quickly and easily see where my team spends our time (new product development vs. technical debt vs. support work) and help ensure it aligns with our organization goals. Following a sprint where we over-invested in one area, I can suggest work items to balance it out in the next sprint. I can also quickly see how the scope changed during a sprint to help gauge the accuracy of our planning and look for trends with becoming less or more efficient in planning and handling disruptions. I also like that Jellyfish allows me to review my team's work output (and my output) to see how it compares within the department. It can be beneficial when it's time to perform an end-of-year performance review to identify trends and improvements for myself or others. Within the organization, we also have a way to report bugs directly to Jellyfish within a slack channel and support has been very responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any particular dislikes. There are some features that leadership would like to have which are not currently available (such as a quarterly toggle only available for Company investment allocations). Still, Jellyfish already has work planned for some of this and is continuously improving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish is helping our leadership members assess if where we spend our time aligns with our larger departmental and company goals. It is also helping to track if we are hitting our milestones and release dates with roadmap product work and technical initiatives. Jellyfish also provides proactive support to help us ensure our metrics are set up exactly how we need them.

Great experience all around

  • June 01, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The support team is amazing! We've brought up issues we're seeing and they've rolled out fixes in the same day.

The metrics Jellyfish provides are fantastic. It helps us determine areas of improvement, focus on pain points, and measure the effects of changes we've implemented. This kind of visibility is supremely useful as we try to balance our efforts between features, bugs, and technical changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I was not personally involved in this part of the setup, the overhead and organization needed to get Jellyfish up and running is not insignificant. It's very important to get it right. Garbage in leads to garbage out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish provides a one stop shop to see and investigate cycle times, allocation of work, individual and team productivity stats, sprint metrics, and epic progress.

What do you like best about the product?
The tool delivers insights for the executive staff, individual teams, and managers. We found things to improve within days of deploying Jellyfish. It provides meaningful metrics for measuring engineering productivity.

Over time we have seen a big uptake from the individual team managers as they start to learn more about the different tools and features on offer. Different managers are getting value from the tool in ways that we did not anticipate. Integrating Jellyfish across the organization has helped highlight areas for process improvement, in addition to giving us actionable metrics.

The support team is highly responsive and helpful and works with us to ensure our custom needs are met. I wish all our vendors were this engaged.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike with Jellyfish and I cannot wait to see what future features they deliver.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish is solving the problems of productivity visibility, engineering FTE allocation and process unification. Jellyfish is driving a complete rewrite of our engineering best practices and processes for the better.
