About Jira

Jira is Atlassian's issue tracker for software teams, built around projects, issues, sprints and customizable workflows. Scrum and kanban boards, backlogs and roadmaps support agile planning, and its reporting covers velocity, burndown and cycle time. A large marketplace of apps and deep integrations with Bitbucket, Confluence and many developer tools make it a standard choice in larger engineering organizations. The flexibility comes with complexity: setting up schemes and workflows takes time, and smaller teams often find it slower and heavier than newer tools.

Best for: Engineering organizations that need configurable agile workflows.
