What is a Project?

Definition

A Project in JIRA is a container that groups related issues together—usually corresponding to a real product, team, or initiative.

Project Types

• Software Projects: built for Agile teams, offering Scrum or Kanban boards.
• Business Projects: aimed at general task tracking for non-software teams.

What a Project Contains

A project bundles its own set of issues, a workflow (or workflows), permissions, components, and versions, giving teams a self-contained space to plan and track their work.
