GETTING STARTED WITH JIRA TUTORIAL: 6 BASIC STEPS
Before you begin this tutorial, sign up for Jira Software for free. This guide
will help you set up your first project, so keep this tab open while you sign
up. Go on, we'll wait here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 1 - CREATE A PROJECT
1. In the top-left corner, click the Jira home icon (, , , )
2. In the top-right corner, select Create project.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 2 - PICK A TEMPLATE
The Jira template library houses dozens of templates across a variety of
different categories, and is designed to get your team started quickly and
successfully. You can choose a template from all the Jira products you own (Jira
Software, Jira Service Management, and Jira Work Management). Today, Jira
Software offers three templates:
SCRUM
For agile teams that work from a backlog, plan and estimate their work in
sprints, and deliver work on a regular schedule.
KANBAN
For agile teams that monitor work in a continuous flow (rather than in sprints),
with a focus on managing in-progress work. (Includes the option of a kanban
backlog.)
BUG TRACKING
For teams that don't need boards and prefer to manage development tasks and bugs
in a list view.
PROJECT TYPES
For the scrum and kanban templates only, you will also be prompted to choose a
project type.
* Team-managed projects are suited for independent teams who want to control
their own working processes and practices in a self-contained space.
* Company-managed projects are set up and maintained by Jira admins. This
project type is designed for teams who want to standardize a way of working
across many teams, such as sharing a workflow.
The fundamental difference between the two project types is how they are
administered, and whether that occurs at the team level or at a company/Jira
admin level. Looking for more information about how company-managed and
team-managed projects? Learn more here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 3 - SET UP YOUR COLUMNS
A board can display issues from one or more projects and visually represent a
team’s workflow. Boards provide flexible viewing to help manage issues and
report on work in progress. How you setup the columns on your board in the scrum
and kanban templates depends if you’re in a team-managed (directly from the
board) or company-managed project (in board settings).
* Company-managed
* Team-managed
Although there are many things you can configure on your board, we suggest just
setting up columns for now. When you're getting started on a new Jira Software
project, it's important to make your board reflect the way your team works.
If you're not sure what your team's workflow is or should be, here is a resource
to help you get started.
To set up board columns:
1. Navigate to your team's board by selecting Active sprints (for Scrum
projects) or Kanban board (for Kanban projects) in the project menu on the
left.
2. Select more (•••) > Board settings in the top-right corner.
3. Select Columns.
4. Select Add column to add a column for each step in your team's process.
For example, if work needs to pass through a QA step before it's considered to
be complete, you could add a column called "QA" and put it before Done.
The most important part about setting up your board is getting the columns
right. Ideally, your board should reflect the way your team works. Select + to
add a column to your board.
Rearrange columns by dragging them in the order you want.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 4 - CREATE AN ISSUE
Issues are the building blocks of your Jira Software project. An issue can
represent a story, epic, bug, feature to be built, or any other task in your
project.
* Company-managed
* Team-managed
Scrum and kanban are two frameworks for agile project management. In Jira
Software, scrum vs. kanban projects have different features to help teams that
are using either framework.
For Scrum teams: Select Backlog in the project menu on the left and then hit +
Create issue to start adding work to your team's backlog.
For Kanban teams: Navigate to your Kanban board and select Create in the global
menu. Your issue will appear in the Backlog column.
Both Scrum teams and Kanban teams can add large pieces of work on their Roadmap.
The Roadmap is a place to visualize, plan, and manage work. Learn more about
managing work on the roadmap.
1. In the project menu, select Roadmap.
2. Start typing, then hit enter to create your first epic.
You can then add smaller pieces of work to the issue. Hover over the epic.
Click + Add a child issue.
You can configure issues in lots of different ways. Learn more about creating
and configuring issues.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Scrum teams: Select Backlog in the project menu on the left and hit +
Create issue to add an issue to your backlog. You also have the option of adding
an issue directly to the sprint, if that's what you prefer.
For Kanban teams: Select Board in the project menu on the left, hover over any
of your columns, and click +. You can also create issues on the Backlog, if you
have it enabled.
Both Scrum teams and Kanban teams can add large pieces of work on their Roadmap.
The Roadmap is a place to visualize, plan, and manage work. Learn more about
managing work on the roadmap.
1. In the project menu, select Roadmap.
2. Start typing, then hit enter to create your first epic.
You can then add smaller pieces of work to the issue. Hover over the epic.
Click + Add a child issue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 5 - INVITE YOUR TEAM
It’s time to get the party started! Once you have enough work represented on
your board, start inviting team members. To get your team involved, start by
adding each team member to your Jira site:
* Company-managed
* Team-managed
1. In the project menu on the left, select Project settings.
2. Select People.
3. In the top-right corner, select Add people.
4. Search for your team member's email address, and select Add.
1. Navigate to either your Board or Backlog.
2. At the top of the screen, select Add people.
3. Search for your team member's email address and select Add.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 6 - MOVE WORK FORWARD
Now that your team is in your Jira site, you're ready to collaborate and track
work together. If you're in a scrum project, you'll need to create and start a
sprint to begin tracking work. If you're in a kanban project, you can start
tracking work on the board. To track work items, move an issue from one column
to another as it progresses through your team's workflow.
Pro-tip: Stay connected, and move work forward – anywhere, anytime in the palm
of your hand with the Jira Cloud app for iOS or Android.

* Company-managed
* Team-managed
Make sure to leave comments on issues so that everyone on the team can follow
what's going on; this creates an open way of working, instead of restricting
communicating between two people via private emails.
