Signup Experiment for Jira Software

With over 80% of desktop visits driven by paid searches—and a 5.1% conversion rate—the Jira Software Paid Product Tour page relied on its hero section to convert users. Yet, prioritizing the signup form over value communication left visitors unsure how Jira Software could help them, reducing both engagement and conversions. The experiment aimed to showcase the product’s benefits and maintain or enhance signup performance.See More

Interactive Demo

Led cross-functional design experiment aimed at increasing user signups to Jira Software through an interactive board. By combining product demo with marketing, the project provided hands-on experience to showcase Jira's value.See More
