Jira Service Desk 3: built for IT and service teams

Two years ago at Summit 2013, Atlassian introduced Jira Service Desk in response to customers who were looking to use Jira as an IT ticketing tool.

Tearing down the walls between development and support

Bridging DevOps and ITIL
The IT world you know and love exists primarily today thanks to the bedrock of the IT community: ITIL – the IT Infrastructure Library. Initially published between 1989-1996, ITIL has grown to more than 30 volumes and is considered the bible of IT best practices. ITIL is the steadfast discipline in IT worldwide, with over two million people trained and certified. At its core, ITIL is a framework ensuring IT services align to business needs and helps manage service delivery from start to finish.
Seven ways to create an awesome self-service culture
If there’s a shining light in the IT world that cuts those less-than-urgent tickets in half, it’s self-service. Self-service is a lifesaver, on both ends, because it helps your customers find what they’re looking for and it lets the IT team do what they do best: keep your business running smoothly.

Collecting requests the easy way with Jira Service Desk
We often collect feedback and requests from people outside of our team. If they find a bug, need something done, or have a feature request – somehow and some way, they need to reach us. As an Atlassian, I prefer working in Jira. It’s my favorite place to plan, track, and get things done, however, I find that sending colleagues (who are often non-technical) to Jira introduces them to an unfamiliar interface they don’t necessarily know how to navigate.
