Create a Scrum Project in Jira

Step 1: Go to Projects > Create project.

Step 2: Among all the project templates under Software development, select Scrum.

Step 3: Click the Use template button.

Step 4: On the next screen, tap one of the two buttons – Select team-managed project or Select company-managed project. The choice will be based on the kind of project you need to create and the types of features required. For example, a company-managed project will let you customize workflows and access advanced features like detailed agile reporting.

Step 5: Enter the name of your scrum project and the project’s issue key, then click Next.

Note:

A Jira issue key is an ID used to identify issues from a specific project. The ID is made up of two or more uppercase characters. The first character must be a letter, but the rest of the key can contain alphanumeric characters.

Your new Scrum project is now set up in Jira. It would look like the screen below:

The scrum methodology doesn’t call for the development team to periodically launch major updates or new items. Instead, the team has to focus on continuously making releases and delivering product features within short cycles known as sprints.

A sprint is a short time period during which a team completes a specific set of work items or issues. It may be 1 to 2 weeks or even 4 weeks long. It helps the scrum teams to manage their projects in a better way. It also ensures that all work items are done on time.
