Focused Build vs JIRA

[former_member1151351]

Please let me know the main difference between focused Build and JIRA tool as project management. Why focused Build is not preferable as individual project management tool. I have always seen its integrated with JIRA for agile project management.

Hi Manju,

you will get the main benefits out of Focused Build if you use the whole methodology with all capabilities instead of using just one piece, that's why you may have heard that Focused Build Project Management standalone is not preferable. As you have written correctly it is possible to connect Focused Build with Jira, the desired use case is that we want to support customers who have always worked in Jira to stay there with the creation of Requirements and synchronize them afterwards to Focused Build to continue in our tool with the implementation process. Compared with Jira the integration to the backend tools like S/4HANA is definitely deeper with Focused Build and allows an easier deployment of transport requests.

Best regards,

Joerg
