Heena K
Client Services Lead- EMEA
4.0

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Heena. I work at Bliss. I'm a client services lead for UK International Market. Bliss is a programmatic DSP. I use Jira as a project management platform, and I rate it four stars. Jira is basically used as a project management tool. We consider each and every programmatic booking that we get at less as a project, and at least 32 people contribute into that project. So from the pre-activation stages to activation, and then the execution, and then finally the reporting and the analytics, and we basically carry it all through Jira. And hence, it's a very important tool in our [inaudible 00:00:48]. I think Jira is very easy to use, easy to navigate, easy to train people on. No additional training is required every time someone is onboarded onto Jira. And also it also keeps logs of all the changes that happened during the project completion. And hence, it's easier to trace back the steps and identify if anything went wrong, et cetera. I think the least things are, sometimes it could take a downtime to get loaded, especially if we are working on a complex project or we have had several months of data onto the single project, then it can be a little bit lagged to download all the information.
