Jira Software is an Agile project management tool that supports any Agile methodology, be it Scrum or Kanban.

Moreover, Jira Software brings the power of Agile methodology to Atlassian Jira.

From learning how to plan, track, and release great software through to installing, running, and setting it up to run with Scrum and Kanban, this book will guide you effectively. The book will even demonstrate how to go beyond using out-of-the-box Scrum and Kanban for your projects, from combining both the methodologies through to using other project management options apart from Agile. Later, you will learn how to integrate Jira with the tools you are already using and enhance it with add-ons such as Confluence. As you advance, you will discover how to stay connected with your team from anywhere to ensure great development. Jira Software has numerous deployment options on the cloud, and even on your own infrastructure, which further increases efficiency. Toward the concluding section, you will be introduced to Bitbucket, Atlassian's distributed version control system, which integrates seamlessly with Jira, allowing your team to work within the two applications as one harmonious environment.
