Over half of the service portals in Jira Service Management are created by non-IT teams. In fact, before we even heard the phrase “Enterprise Service Management,” we noticed that our customers were increasingly using IT products for non-IT purposes. After diving into those use cases a bit more, a pattern became clear. IT pioneers the way, implementing service management tools and practices. Eventually other teams look to IT for support implementing these tools to manage their own work.

There is unique opportunity for organizations to do away with old ways of working that constrain progress and rigid processes that restrict team agility. This is why the SaaS space is buzzing about Enterprise Service Management and its promise to help organizations meet the demands of the moment.

Workplace Experience team: Scaling service while maintaining personal connections

The team uses service request management best practices and Jira Service Management features like dynamic forms to deliver better experiences for employees.

The team was juggling the various forms, tickets, messages, walk-by questions, and one-off requests. They used spreadsheets and spent going back and forth looking through documentation pages while trying to get answers to employees. Unfortunately, things would accidentally get dropped, and the breadth of this work wasn’t accurately reflected and visible to the global team.
