Use Jira for operations projects
This page is for business projects
To check whether you’re in a business or software project, select More actions (•••) next to the project name in either the header or the sidebar. At the bottom of the menu that opens, your project details will be shown.
Operations teams do all kinds of projects, ranging from office moves to site audits.
The project management template in Jira business projects is an ideal base for managing short-term and delivery-based projects.
About the template
Ideal for projects of any size, any duration, and for any deliverable
Can be used to track milestones and set time limits for activities
Easily customized to include additional steps, such as review, blocked, etc.
Stay on top of everything
You're able to view the status of every work item on the board, including who’s working on what, and if it’s overdue.
Add milestones using versions
Projects often have 'checkpoints' or milestones that need to be reached in order to keep the broader project on track. In business projects you can use versions as milestones. Once you have versions set up, you can organize work into different versions.
See Organizing work with versions.
Report back to management
Projects are usually made up of well-defined, specific, measurable activities that have one major deliverable or goal. This makes project reporting even more critical to ensuring things get delivered on time. Jira business projects include built-in reporting, but you can also use your dashboard and custom filters based on your searches to monitor activities.
Customize
Jirais highly customizable. Some common customizations include:
Adding additional steps to the workflow (such as approvals) to fit the way a project works
Changing the layout of work items to capture specific information
Use labels to track groups of work items related to project phases or workstreams
