Informal Request

Hi [Boss's Name],

Can I get your approval to buy the Threaded Comments for Jira app on the Atlassian Marketplace? We have a lot of teams using Jira comments and I think this app can reduce the comment chaos and mess.

This tool lets teammates reply directly to specific messages, creating a hierarchical structure for discussions. Much better than the messy (and long) comment chains we have right now.

It will cost us between $1,500 for 50 users and $2,500 for 500 users (see pricing pages for Cloud). I reckon we will more than pay for this with more focused discussions and less confusion.

You good to approve this one? 🚀

Longer Formal Request

Dear [Boss's Name],

I am writing to seek your approval for the purchase of a Votazz Threaded Comments for Jira app for our team's communication and collaboration. Threaded Comments lets our team respond directly to specific comments on Jira issues, creating a hierarchical structure for discussions.

CleanShot 2024-08-21 at 16.24.08.png

Our team makes extensive use of the comment feature in Jira, but key information is often missed due to the volume and timing of comments. <Ideally insert an example of project where this happens and your boss will be familiar with>. By linking replies to relevant comments, this feature streamlines communication, eliminates confusion, and encourages focused conversations.

The key benefits are:

  1. Streamlined Communication: Threaded comments will enable us to respond directly to specific messages, fostering more focused and organized discussions.

  2. Enhanced Clarity: The threaded structure will reduce confusion, ensuring that responses are tied directly to the corresponding comments.

  3. Easy Tracking: The threaded format will enable us to follow conversations more effectively, ensuring that no valuable information is missed.

  4. Improved Team Collaboration (and happiness): With threaded comments, team members can engage in more meaningful conversations, leading to better decision-making and problem-solving.

  5. Time Savings: The feature will facilitate quicker responses, leading to increased productivity and streamlined workflow.

  6. Cost-Effective Investment: The benefits gained for improved comments coordination will far outweigh the cost of acquiring the threaded comments feature.

I have researched various options and have identified Threaded Comments for Jira as the app that aligns with our requirements and budget. The cost for implementing the threaded comments feature is [insert cost] per annum (Refer to Data Center pricing | Cloud pricing).

This investment will pay off in terms of increased efficiency, reduced miscommunications, and ultimately, enhanced team coordination. Do I have your approval to purchase?
