Jira Work Management is a project management tool designed for business teams across marketing, operations, sales, HR, finance, legal, and design. Users create business projects, which are shared spaces to organize, document, and track work.
Jira Work Management supports use cases for every business team:
- Marketing: Campaign management for go-to-market, content, and emails
- Operations: Procurement, RFPs, and policy management
- Sales: Lead tracking and the sales pipeline
- Human resources: Recruiting, onboarding, and performance reviews
- Finance: Budget management and the month-end close
- Legal: Document approvals and IP infringement claims
- Design: Asset creation and web design
- Jira Software is also used for project management, but it’s purpose-built for software teams, who rely on agile ways of working. Users create software projects, which support agile methodologies like backlog, sprints, and scrum. There are four Jira Software templates with preconfigured workflows to choose from:
- Scrum - For managing work across sprints
- Kanban - For prioritizing work more easily
- DevOps - For an open-tools approach to applications
- Bug tracking - For, you guessed it, tracking bugs
- Creating and viewing tasks
Within Jira Work Management projects, users create issues, or items of work. There are different views, so teams can visualize tasks more easily and match their preferred way of working.
- Searching for a clear visualization of all the tasks on your plate? The board is a great place to start.
- Organizing tasks and deals to make your monthly sales quota? Try the month-by-month calendar view.
- Used to tracking and ordering office inventory in a spreadsheet? Check out the familiar list view.
- Want to see how your team is making progress on a project? Look at the summary page first.
- Need clarity on all the dependencies in your website launch? The timeline view shows this.
