Download ShiftWhat is Jira?
Jira is a project and issue tracking platform from Atlassian for teams running structured projects or agile workflows. It supports Scrum, Kanban, and hybrid methods so you can plan sprints, manage backlogs, track bugs, and visualize work on boards, lists, timelines, and calendars. With configurable workflows, fields, forms, and templates, Jira adapts to engineering, product, marketing, and operations use cases.
Its AI assistant (Rovo AI) helps you break down large initiatives, refine ticket descriptions, surface related work, and automate repetitive updates. Automation rules keep issues in sync, trigger notifications, and connect data from CI/CD, support tools, and more. Reporting and dashboards give visibility into team performance, delivery risks, and project health. With thousands of integrations and Marketplace apps, Jira often becomes a central hub alongside the rest of your tool stack in Shift Browser.
How Jira works in Shift
Adding Jira to Shift Browser gives you a focused, always-ready home for your projects without juggling tabs or profiles. You can stay signed into multiple Jira sites or accounts at once—such as separate company instances, client projects, or sandbox environments—and switch between them from the sidebar. Spaces let you group Jira with tools like Slack, GitHub, Figma, or Gmail into dedicated workspaces for each product, team, or client.
This keeps recurring workflows one click away and reduces the need to rebuild your setup each day. Shift restores your full Jira session, including key boards and reports, in a single window. Smart Links route Jira URLs to the right account, cutting down on mis-clicks and duplicate tabs. With customization and side-by-side views, you can keep a sprint board open next to documentation or pull requests to reduce context switching and keep work moving.
