Four main sections are there:
- Roadmap: It is an action plan for how our project will evolve.
- Backlog: It is usually a list of issues describing what your team will be doing on the project.
- Board: It shows work to be done, work in progress, and work done.
- Code: In this, we can create an automated DevOps workflow and minimize context switching between Jira Software and Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, and other source code management tools.
Generally, a project is divided into epics and one epic can contain multiple sprints. Each sprint has multiple issues like user stories. A sprint is a fixed period (it can vary from project to project but in a single project, the duration of each sprint should be the same) in a development cycle where the project team completes work from the product backlog. JIRA’s user stories are concise representations of the system’s evolving capabilities, written by people who need that new functionality.
Now we have to create an epic first. So click on create select the issue type as epic fill in other requirements and create your first epic. Now create another issue “user story” to implement the first functionality for example register functionality of your project. Now move this issue to the already made sprint and start the sprint. Now your first sprint has started. We can also assign epic to the different issues.
What is JIRA Software?
JIRA is a software development tool used for project management and issue tracking. It is a popular tool among software development teams to plan, track, and release software projects. JIRA provides a centralized platform for managing tasks, bugs, and other types of issues and it helps teams to organize and prioritize their work. The tool integrates with other software development tools and has a variety of customizable features and workflows that allow teams to adapt it to their specific needs. Additionally, JIRA also provides various reporting and dashboard features that help teams stay on top of their work and make data-driven decisions.
JIRA supports multiple languages including English, French, etc. It is a platform-independent tool. A 30-day free trial version is available on JIRA.
