Put Simply:
Many default features in Jira (like Forms, Pages, and Goals) are not necessary and should be disabled or hidden.
Why It Matters:
Improves usability: Reduces noise in the Jira UI, helping teams focus on boards, issues, and workflows that align with firm standards.
Prevents misalignment: Avoids the use of ad hoc tools (like Forms or Goals) that aren’t connected to our delivery templates, estimation models, or metrics.
What’s Needed:
Thanks for calling this out — we’re seeing similar feedback around reducing noise in Jira and keeping teams focused on core delivery. While features like Forms, Pages, and Goals are native to Jira and not always fully disabled at the project level, teams can minimize visibility via project navigation (three dots → more actions) and align usage through governance.
We agree with the intent here and are continuing to evaluate how to better standardize and streamline this experience across Jira Cloud. CC: @Nachiket Bal
