Why do we use Jira? Are there other alternatives?

3. Jira helps to build Reports and Analytics - Built-in reporting tools (like burndown charts and velocity charts) enables product managers to provide insights regarding the team's performance, which in turn aids in data-driven decisions.

4. Jira helps in cross-functional team collaboration - The integration of tools like Confluence, Slack, etc provides seamless co-ordination among product, development, design and marketing teams. 

5. Jira helps in creation of user stories and documentations - Product managers develop user stories, acceptance criteria and requirements to make the team members understand the what and why behind every tasks.

Did you generate a ticket for this? I guess many of you have heard this phrase somewhere or the other. So what is a ticket? Well it is simply an issue that you create and assign a ticket to it which basically means that you are assigning that issue to a team member or the whole group. 
After this you add a description, labels and updates wherever necessary. Different types of issues can be named as Story, Bug, Task, Sub-task and Epic. These are pre-defined in Jira. To know more
