Jira is a project management and issue-tracking software product made by Atlassian, widely used by software development teams to plan, track, and manage agile projects using Scrum or Kanban boards. It allows teams to create tickets for bugs, tasks, and user stories, assign them, and track progress through customizable workflows. Beyond software teams, many business and operations groups also use it for general task and workflow tracking.
