Jira makes project management easy so you can focus on building cool stuff

Made for complex projects or everyday tasks, never lose sight of the big picture with Jira. With streamlined planning, tracking, and release management that scales and connects every team, every step of the way.

Everything needed to streamline, scale, and connect work

Focus on building great products

  • Dev-friendly experience. An intuitive, streamlined experience meets every software team’s needs.

  • Shortcuts to get s#!t done. From keyboard shortcuts to AI, Jira gives time back.

  • Work your way. From Scrum to Kanban (or something in-between), set up workflows that meet your unique needs.

  • No need to hit pause. Create issues from anywhere — Slack, Teams, or inside your IDE or CI/CD tool.
