Jira is the leading issue and project tracking software from Atlassian, primarily used by software development, IT, and business teams to manage work, track progress, and collaborate on projects. The platform has evolved into an AI-powered project management solution focused on driving outcomes and reducing administrative overhead.
Jira’s core features are designed for Agile Project Management and tracking work from conception to delivery. These include planning tools to go from high-level vision to concrete tasks, powerful customizable workflows to map out complex processes, and various views like Scrum and Kanban boards to visualize team progress. The platform is deeply integrated with Rovo AI, which acts as an AI agent to help teams by summarizing lengthy comments, breaking down large ideas into smaller work items, identifying trends, and flagging potential risks, essentially removing the “work around work.” Jira supports a wide range of use cases beyond software, including Campaign Management for marketing teams, general Project Management, and managing and tracking requests for IT teams (via Jira Service Management). It also features extensive integrations with popular tools like Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, Figma, and GitHub, making it a central source of truth for diverse teams.
