Scrum board
The scrum framework enables software teams to manage complex projects by creating a culture of collaboration. The Jira scrum board is the tool that unites teams around a single goal and promotes iterative, incremental delivery.
Kanban board
Kanban is a common framework for agile and DevOps software development that provides transparency of work and team capacity. Kanban boards in Jira help teams visualize their workflow, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency.
Timeline
The timeline view in Jira is useful for planning large pieces of work several months in advance within a single project. Simple planning and dependency management features help your teams visualize and manage work better together.
Insights
In Jira, insights helps the team make data-driven decisions without leaving their current context. Insights source data from your Jira boards and projects to present aggregated views of your team’s historical progress. Insights are currently available for scrum metrics in both company-managed and team-managed projects.
Integrations
In Jira, an app (sometimes called an add-on or plugin) is an installable component that supplements or enhances the functionality of your instance. You and your teams can spend less time managing work and more time building great software with over 3,000 Jira apps that can be custom-tailored to fit any and every use case.
