Yes. It provides a vital link across the Isle of Dogs, in turn
connecting
East London to South London without the need to go through the centre.

Doesn't the DLR do that?


Not really. The DLR will dump you in Greenwich, from where you'll have
to get a train to London Bridge to get to pretty nearly anywhere else.
The Jubilee line, on the other hand, will take you directly to useful
places (like London Bridge or Waterloo), and will do it a lot quicker
too.

errrr if you want to go from Isle of Dogs to London Bridge/Waterloo what is
wrong with the DLR to Bank. The poster specified connecting the Isle of Dogs
to south of the river. DLR to Greenwich full fills that. Unless you want to
go the Dome, lets call it what it is, who goes to North Greenwich.
