About Jira

Jira is project and issue tracking software. Teams can plan and distribute tasks, track performance, build product roadmaps, and much more. With scrum boards and agile reporting, Jira provides top-notch project management features for any software development company.

To facilitate document workflow, users can attach files to tasks. Attachments are usually screenshots, text documents, and spreadsheets.
