Reading for gist:

Now, read the text to find these concepts. What role do they play in Jira
projects?

What is a Jira Software project?

Your issue tracker should be the hub of your development project. When
properly configured, Jira Software helps your team members prioritize and
organize work better, so they can spend more time developing great
software instead of solving issues.

A project is simply a collection of issues (stories, bugs, tasks, etc.). You would
typically use a project to represent the development work for a product,
project, or service in Jira Software.

Scrum, Kanban, or Bug tracking?

Scrum has an iteration-based approach, which is generally a good fit for
teams developing products, particularly if your team is releasing new
versions on a regular schedule.

Kanban is better suited for a continuous flow of work (e.g. service-oriented

teams), where its constraint-based approach helps prevent your team from
being overloaded.

Bug tracking delivers a basic workflow for tracking new features and bugs.

Team-managed Software projects

Our team-managed Scrum and Kanban projects are great for teams who are
new to agile. Get your team up-and-running with this simplified board-view
project template. The set-up is straight-forward and streamlined, delivering
more power progressively as you need it. Anyone can create these, while
only administrators can create company-managed projects.

Before you begin

You should be a Jira administrator (i.e., someone with the Administer Jira
global permission), if you want to set up a new project in Jira Software
(excluding team-managed project templates – unless your Jira admin has
implemented a permission scheme in which only admins can create agility
projects). Many of the tasks involved can only be performed by a Jira
administrator, such as creating a project, modifying a workflow, etc. For
more information, see Permissions overview.

The topics in this section cover the activities that you will need to do when
configuring a project:

Create a project

Your first task is to create a Software project and configure it according to the
needs and requirements of your development team. You need to be a Jira
administrator to create a project (excluding team-managed project templates
– unless your Jira admin has implemented a permission scheme in which only
admins can create agility projects), but you can configure most project details
if you are a project administrator.

Configure the board for your project

A board is the central tool for working with issues in a Scrum or Kanban
development project. A Scrum or Kanban board will be created when you
create a Scrum or Kanban development project respectively. You can add
more boards of either type to the project if you like.

Configure project permissions

You can control access to your project by configuring a permission scheme. A

permission scheme maps users, user groups, roles, etc. to the project
functions (e.g., Assign issues). Your new project will be pre-configured with
the default permission scheme.

Tweak issue types, workflow, screens, and fields

Your project is pre-configured with issue types, a workflow, screens, and

fields. You can change these to suit any development process. For example,
you may want to create a 'Design' issue type or add a 'QA review' step to
your workflow.

Create components

Components can be used to group issues in a project. However, in an agile

project, you should consider using epics to group issues (stories) instead, as
there are more features that support working with epics, like the epic column
on boards, reports, etc.

1. What is a Jira project?

2. What are the differences between Scrum, Kanban and Bug tracking?

3. Who are team managed projects good for?

4. Why do you need to be a Jira administrator?
