Concept
Jira (software)
Summary
Jira (ˈdʒiːrə ) is a proprietary issue tracking product developed by Atlassian that allows bug tracking and agile project management.
The product name comes from the second and third syllables of the Japanese word pronounced as Gojira, which is Japanese for Godzilla. The name originated from a nickname Atlassian developers used to refer to Bugzilla, which was previously used internally for bug-tracking.
JIRA was an open source tool available for anyone to download. Its popularity drove thousands of users to adopt it within organizations across the globe. Unlike IBM Engineering Management Platform, the tool is primarily for use in small teams and individuals, not large projects or enterprises. Subsequently, the product was taken off of open-source servers somehow. Altassian created a business around this product.
According to Atlassian, Jira is used for issue tracking and project management. Some of the organizations that have used Jira at some point in time for bug-tracking and project management include Fedora Commons, Hibernate, and the Apache Software Foundation, which uses both Jira and Bugzilla. Jira includes tools allowing migration from competitor Bugzilla.
Jira is offered in four packages:
Jira Work Management is intended as generic project management.
Jira Software includes the base software, including agile project management features (previously a separate product: Jira Agile).
Jira Service Management is intended for use by IT operations or business service desks.
Jira Align is intended for strategic product and portfolio management.
Jira is written in Java and uses the Pico inversion of control container, Apache OFBiz entity engine, and WebWork 1 technology stack. For remote procedure calls (RPCs), Jira has REST, SOAP, and XML-RPC interfaces. Jira integrates with source control programs such as Clearcase, Concurrent Versions System (CVS), Git, Mercurial, Perforce, Subversion, and Team Foundation Server. It ships with various translations including English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.
