Jira is an agile software development tool, to help teams manage issues and plan new releases of software. Jira organizes tasks on kanban boards and in releases to organize which tasks to accomplish, when. Each part of Jira can be customized and automated with workflows to speed up your team's work.
Development teams love Jira for its customizability and massive market share—and thus a vibrant community of users and 3rd party developers. "Everyone in engineering teams have used Jira so it's really easy to get people onboarded," as former 500 startups team member @chiragchamoli mentioned. And its workflow tools are what keep teams using it: "When it comes to defining a workflow, I don’t know anything better that it," said @avetisk.
The most common complaints about Jira are about its speed, complicated workflows that add overhead to project management, API issues, and limited support. Jira's interface is also dated compared to many of its competitors; "JIRA's UX is still awful," as @blakesgentry commented. "Their platform is far too complicated for the average person to administer," said @yoni_ops. Jira's complicated to master; once you do, though, it seems to be a tool that teams stick with for the long term.
Flexible views: Get options of Kanban, srum and roadmap views for your project.
Unlimited Custom Fields: Have the ability to create as many and any type of custom fields to your projects, for eg dropdown, number, user/person fields.
Integrations: You can integrate about 3000 plus apps free and paid both with your Jira, eg Google Drive, Zendesk etc.
Project Automation: Inbuilt Jira app which helps you automate workflows based on your needs. You can set up rules and actions for eg if you want to assign the issue to a particular person when the issue is transitioned into a particular stage.
Custom Filters: Jira already has nice default filters to search and find a particular issue faster, but if you want more custom reporting and filter you can always use JQL (Jira Query Language).
They use SQL like filters for several configurations (Board filters, report generation etc). Sinc...

Education is expensive. If there’s one tiny bright side to the costs of tuition and textbooks, though, it’s that tech is far cheaper as a student.
