Running a project with Scrum in Jira

With Jira, a Scrum project consists mainly of two components – the backlog where you and your team will do most of your planning, and the active sprint agile board, which your team will use to track the progress of their current sprint. Let’s start with creating a new Scrum project in Jira.
