Just in case you signed up and you are still not 100% sure if you are using the right tool — Jira is a popular project management tool used by teams across various industries for tracking, planning, and releasing software, as well as managing work tasks. It is developed and maintained by Atlassian, a well-known software company that offers a range of products for project management, collaboration, software development and Customer Support.

Jira offers both a cloud-based and on-premises version, and the cloud version comes with a free plan that allows teams to try out the tool and its features before deciding whether to upgrade to a paid plan. The free plan is suitable for small teams looking for a simple, yet powerful, project management tool.
