Summary

Jira is project management software for teams planning, organizing, and tracking work. Teams can prioritize larger ideas, break them into tasks, assign work, and follow progress in backlog, list, board, timeline, calendar, and summary views. Customizable templates and workflows, forms, dependencies, goals, and reports support coordination. Automation rules and time tracking are available, while Rovo AI tools can create automations, update status, identify risks, and surface trends from work items. Jira connects with more than 3,000 Marketplace apps and integrations, and provides APIs and configuration controls. Its mobile apps for Android and iOS support updates, comments, boards, backlogs, approvals, forms, and project status. The Free plan supports up to 10 users, with 2 GB storage and 150 automation steps monthly. Standard costs 7.91 USD per month and Premium costs 14.54 USD per month; both include a seven-day trial that requires no payment information. Jira is offered as Atlassian-managed Cloud or self-managed Data Center. Data Center ends March 28, 2029, and new license sales end March 30, 2026.
