Jira Software At A Glance
Product Overview
Jira Software is a tool used by over 180,000 modern software teams to plan, track and release their projects using agile project management, which focuses on efficiency, continuous releases and customer feedback. Whether a software team utilizes Scrum, Kanban, a hybrid model, or designs its own customized workflow, Jira Software enables them to release software in a simple drag-and-drop interface.
Software teams gain visibility into long term goals, project roadmaps, work status and real-time release information. Jira Software integrates with many popular business apps, including source code and collaboration platforms, so users don’t need to switch context multiple times to find the latest status of a project. Jira Software also integrates with Atlassian’s other products, including Confluence, Bitbucket and Jira Service Desk.
As software teams become increasingly globally distributed, Jira Software’s mobile app allows team members worldwide to stay on top of their projects from their Android and iOS devices.
