Hey everyone! I’m new to JIRA and feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the plugin options out there. It’s like a candy store for project management! 
I’d love to hear from experienced users about which add-ons you can’t live without. What are your go-to plugins that make JIRA even more awesome?
Some questions I have:
- What free plugins do you recommend?
- Are there any paid ones that are totally worth the investment?
- Any hidden gems that not many people know about?
Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom! I’m excited to supercharge my JIRA setup with your suggestions. 
I’ve been using JIRA for several years now, and one add-on that’s become indispensable for my team is the Confluence integration. It’s a free plugin that seamlessly connects your JIRA issues with Confluence pages, making documentation and collaboration much more streamlined.
Another tool I highly recommend is the ‘Advanced Roadmaps’ (formerly Portfolio for JIRA). It’s a paid add-on, but it’s been crucial for our long-term project planning and resource management. The ability to create and manage multiple scenarios has saved us from countless headaches.
As for a hidden gem, check out ‘Bulk Clone’. It’s a lesser-known free add-on that allows you to clone multiple issues at once, which can be a massive time-saver when setting up similar projects or sprint tasks.
Remember, the key is to start with a few essential add-ons and gradually expand based on your team’s specific needs and workflows.
hey there! i’ve been using jira for a while now and gotta say, the zephyr test management add-on is a lifesaver. it’s not free, but totally worth it for managing test cases and tracking results.
for free stuff, try the ‘tempo timesheets’ plugin. great for keeping tabs on time spent on tasks.
hope this helps! lmk if u need more info 
As someone who’s been using JIRA for years, I can confidently say that ScriptRunner is an absolute game-changer. It’s a paid add-on, but the ROI is tremendous. It allows for extensive customization and automation, which can save countless hours of manual work.
For free options, I’ve found the Tempo Timesheets to be incredibly useful for tracking time across projects and tasks. It integrates seamlessly with JIRA and provides valuable insights for resource management.
One lesser-known gem is the Structure plugin. It’s excellent for creating multi-level hierarchies of issues, which is particularly useful for complex projects or portfolio management. While it comes with a price tag, it’s well worth considering if you’re dealing with intricate project structures.
Remember, the best plugins depend on your specific needs and workflow. Start with these and explore based on your team’s requirements.
