JIRA is a tool developed by Australian Company Atlassian. This software is used for bug tracking, issue tracking, and project management. The JIRA full form is actually inherited from the Japanese word “Gojira” which means “Godzilla”. The basic use of this tool is to track issue and bugs related to your software and Mobile apps.
This of course begs the inquiry “Why is jira used?”
JIRA tool can be used for multiple purposes: bug, issue, feature, task tracking. Companies can also use it in some non-standard ways for various business needs such as warehouse automation tool, document flow, expenses optimization etc. (you can see examples of such usage in our recent presentation on JIRA).
