Exploring the JIRA workspace
Main Areas of the Workspace
- Dashboard: a customizable home screen with gadgets showing activity, assigned issues, and reports.
- Boards: Scrum or Kanban boards visualizing the workflow of issues.
- Backlog: the list of issues not yet scheduled into a sprint.
- Issue Navigator: a searchable, filterable list of all issues.
- Projects menu: quick access to all projects the user is part of.
Getting Oriented
New users typically start from the Dashboard to see what is assigned to them, then move into a specific project's board to see the current sprint's progress.
