Valuable Lessons for SaaS Products from Jira
Jira, developed by Atlassian, has transformed from a simple bug-tracking tool into a powerful project management platform used across various industries.
Over the years, Jira has truly evolved providing valuable insights for new SaaS businesses.
Here are a few lessons emerging SaaS platforms can include in their strategy notbook:
1. Focused Offering:
Jira started by addressing a specific need in software development. Focusing on a core problem and delivering a compelling solution helped Jira gain traction and build a loyal user base.
Lesson: New SaaS businesses need to identify a real pain point that their target audience faces and concentrate all their efforts on solving it exceptionally well. Providing real value is an absolute must for any SaaS platform to even be considered as an option by prospective users.

2. Embrace User Feedback:
Over the years, Jira has actively listened to its users, adapting its features to meet changing needs. New SaaS businesses can enhance user loyalty by incorporating feedback into their product roadmap.
For example, in 2011 a cloud-based version of Jira was launched with the name JIRA
OnDemand (now rebranded to Jira Cloud)
This willingness to adapt and evolve based on used feedback allowed Jira to stay relevant and meet the changing needs of its customers.
Lesson: New SaaS businesses should actively solicit feedback from its users and even from the section of their target audience that faces the challenge that your product aims to solve but isn’t using your product. Incorporating user feedback to guide the product roadmap not only increases user retention but even gives rise to user loyalty.
These lessons are just the beginning. For a deeper dive into Jira's journey and more insights on how to apply these principles to your SaaS strategy.
