Planning Work
Jira lets you create tasks (called Issues), set up dependencies between these tasks, organize work in a hierarchical structure of Epics, Stories and Tasks, manage user stories, conduct sprint planning and distribute the work across your team. All of these options can be further used to measure the team’s capacity, plan releases, prepare roadmaps and Gantt charts helping the management to understand the timeline and adjust the process to better match the reality.
Tracking Work
You can see the progress of each issue on the fly, as well as set priorities, comment, and maintain full transparency. Jira’s powerful permission options let you to set up individual permissions for different teams and people, as well as prepare powerful Boards and Dashboards which will help the teams to monitor the key indicators of their project’s health.
Releasing Software
You can be confident that the software you ship is ready, and the information you have is solid. Jira Software integrates well with all the necessary Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery tools as well as with the Git repository. Because of this, you have a clear outlook of what’s going on in the pipeline.
Reporting
Jira supports the continuous improvement of your work process by providing real-time reports. You can generate the simplest reports with just two clicks, without exporting the data to Excel and conducting excessive filtering. More advanced reports can be generated with help of the Jira Query Language, a simple but powerful syntax allowing you to easily reach any data available within the system and turn it into a useful report.

Customizable Workflows
No matter what kind of team are you on, Jira can support you with a workflow best-suited to your needs. You can set up conditions, validators, and post-functions to automate as much as possible and keep the work process tidy and safe.
Thanks to these options, Jira can map almost any real-life process inside of the system, no matter how complex and unusual it is. It is exactly the ability to customize Jira Software to fit your team’s needs that makes it the #1 agile tool for software teams.
Aligning the Team with Common Goals
Your engineers, marketers, designers, and other teams may operate in different ways, but they should still strive towards common goals. By placing all teams in one Jira instance, leaders can more easily set goals, adjust team priorities, and track progress in real-time for each project.

Atlassian Intelligence (AI)
At the heart of teamwork lies unity: when each team member can fully leverage their abilities, the entire team achieves more. Soon, we will introduce AI functionality for task delegation (currently in beta for Jira Premium and Enterprise users), which will suggest breaking epics into tasks and tasks into subtasks. This will allow you to spend less time organizing work and more time executing it. After adjusting and approving the suggestions, new work items will be created and placed in the appropriate hierarchy.
Shared Release Dates in Calendars
Successful launches require close collaboration among programmers, IT, marketing, sales, and support teams. It’s a big challenge, but Jira helps simplify it. Business projects can be viewed as calendars with set task deadlines. Software project release dates can now be visible in relevant business projects, supporting coordinated efforts. (Calendars will be available in software projects in the coming months – stay tuned for Jira updates!)

Increased Visibility for Better Decision Making
Tired of switching between multiple browser tabs to get a full picture of your project? Don’t worry. Plans (available in Jira Premium and Enterprise) allow tasks from different boards, projects, and filters to be consolidated, creating a comprehensive view for multiple teams. Now, everyone from leaders to program managers to team members can estimate project release dates, address personnel and resource questions, and set annual goals, all in one place.
Jira has become more flexible, configurable, and powerful than ever before. Now all teams can work in a way that suits them, managing projects, documentation, and knowledge in one cohesive place. We hope you’ll enjoy these new features in Jira – and this is just the beginning!
