What is Jira?

Jira is a software development tool designed to support agile teams in managing their projects. It offers a range of features tailored to meet the needs of teams regardless of size, accommodating groups from a single individual up to 35,000 members. As a versatile platform, Jira supports a variety of agile methodologies, making it a recommended tool for teams looking to develop and refine their agile practices.

Not only is Jira used for project management and issue tracking, but it also serves as a central source of truth for teams, especially when integrated with other tools through the Atlassian Marketplace. This customization and integration capability allows Jira to adapt to any type of project, including tasks related to product management, bug tracking, and requirements & test case management. By centralizing this information, Jira enables teams to decrease their cycle time by 50% and increase deployments significantly.

Since its launch in 2002, Jira Software has become the #1 software development tool endorsed by agile teams, with trust from more than 100,000 organizations. It supports not only the creation of tasks and timelines but also provides the functionality for managing a wide array of project types. Jira's capacity to integrate with a diverse set of apps and other tools further enhances its utility in the software development process.
