Technical requirements
The requirements for this chapter are as follows:
- Jira cloud environment: If you don't already have access to Jira, you can create a free Jira cloud account at https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/free and ensure that you have both Jira Software and Jira Service Management selected.
- Jira server environment: If you are using Jira Server (available from https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/download), ensure you have licenses for both Jira Software and Jira Service Management. In addition, you will also need to ensure that you install the Automation for Jira app, available from the Atlassian Marketplace.
You will need to be a global Jira administrator in order to follow the examples in this chapter. In addition, we have used the Scrum software project template to create the two software projects that these examples run against.
You can download the latest code samples for this chapter from this book's official GitHub repository...
