Jira spaces overview
What is a Jira space?
Typically, a space can be defined as a collection of tasks that need to be completed to achieve a certain outcome. In Jira, a space can be thought of as a container used to organize and track those tasks, or work items, across the entire team.
A Jira space is highly configurable and can be easily customized to map around organizational structure, workflow, or level of agile maturity, making it the only tool to fit any team’s unique way of working. Your team can use a Jira space to track and resolve bugs, launch a new feature, and more.
Your spaces can be found in the top navigation in the “Spaces” drop down.
What are Jira space templates?
Jira offers several space templates to help teams get set up quickly using projects tailored to a specific team (like HR or software) or use case. These templates include pre-configured work types, workflows, and other relevant features. Two of our most popular templates are the kanban and scrum templates. Visit Jira templates library
Kanban template visualizes your work using a powerful, yet simple board. It’s designed for teams that limit work in progress and focus on a continuous flow of work. The kanban template in Jira helps teams easily design, manage, and improve their workflow while providing transparency as work moves from to-do to done.
Scrum template empowers teams to breakdown large pieces of work into more manageable pieces. It’s designed for teams that deliver work on a regular cadence or work in short, time boxed periods called sprints. The scrum template also enables teams to organize and prioritize all work on the backlog and board, while staying focused on the big picture via the roadmap.
