Jira

Jira is a project and issue-tracking system developed by Atlassian, commonly used for managing software development workflows and organizational tasks. It provides tools for creating, assigning, and tracking issues such as bugs, feature requests, and project tasks. Teams use Jira to structure work into projects, boards, sprints, and workflows, allowing different methodologies—like Scrum, Kanban, or custom processes—to be represented. It stores detailed information about each issue, including status, comments, attachments, time estimates, and relationships to other tasks.

The Jira API is a REST-based interface that gives external applications structured access to Jira data. Through the API, developers can perform operations such as creating issues, updating fields, transitioning workflow states, retrieving project metadata, or searching using Jira Query Language (JQL). The API also supports user and permission management, attachments, and custom fields. It is used to integrate Jira with development tools, automation systems, reporting dashboards, or custom internal applications, enabling teams to extend Jira’s functionality or synchronize information across systems.
