Introduction to JIRA

This section will cover the JIRA software essentials. In this section, you will learn about what JIRA is, how to get started with creating projects, and how JIRA organizes the work items within the software.

What is JIRA?

JIRA has been around for a while; originally, it was an issue ticketing system (a bug tracking kind of software). Project management has evolved over the years, and agile processes have become increasingly more popular, so JIRA has evolved into a very effective agile project management tool for both Scrum and Kanban. It is now very powerful in that regard.

JIRA currently offers three different packages, as follows:

  • JIRA Core
  • JIRA Software
  • JIRA Service Desk

JIRA has a huge community, with lots of add-ons that allow for planning, tracking, releasing, and reporting; this gives us even more functionality than what we'd get out of the box. You can learn more about JIRA at https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira.
