Jira is a platform that helps teams plan, track and manage projects, issues, bugs and sprints - with a strong focus on agile development. It is developed by Atlassian and is available as both a cloud service and a self‑hosted solution.
Jira integrates seamlessly with developer tools (e.g. GitHub, GitLab, CI/CD pipelines) via APIs and apps, allowing you to link commits, pull requests and deployment status directly to specific issues. The platform can be extended with apps from Atlassian Marketplace for time tracking, advanced automation, Gantt charts and much more.
Working in Jira involves creating and following workflows, reporting progress via dashboards and using JQL queries to filter and analyze issues. It is widely used across IT organizations, service desks, marketing and other teams that want structure and visibility in their work.
