Tool overview
Overview
Jira is a leading work management platform designed to help teams plan, track, and deliver projects with clarity and control. Originally built for software development and issue tracking, Jira now supports a wide range of business use cases, from agile product development to IT service management and cross‑functional operations. Teams can create and prioritize work items, break down complex projects into manageable tasks, and visualize progress with boards, backlogs, roadmaps, and dashboards. With powerful workflow automation, configurable issue types, and granular permissions, Jira adapts to the way your team works instead of forcing a rigid process. Out-of-the-box agile templates support Scrum, Kanban, and hybrid methodologies, while built-in reporting provides real-time insight into velocity, throughput, and bottlenecks. Integrations with tools like Confluence, Bitbucket, GitHub, Slack, and hundreds of marketplace apps connect Jira to your existing ecosystem. Jira is built for collaboration and transparency, enabling developers, product managers, designers, and business stakeholders to stay aligned on priorities. Teams can link work to releases or strategic initiatives, track dependencies, and manage risks before they impact delivery. Whether you are shipping software, handling customer requests, or coordinating large business programs, Jira provides a single source of truth for issues, tasks, and project status, helping organizations deliver value faster and more reliably.
