Hi @Caroline Lindahl

Welcome to the community.

Here are some differences between Jira Software and Jira Work Management (JWM):

  • Jira Software:
    • Mostly used for software development teams, sprint planning, and feature development)
    • Key features: Agile boards, backlogs, Release/versions
  • Jira Work Management:
    • Designed for non-technical teams like marketing, finance, and HR.
    • Key features: List, Calendar, Timeline views

 

You can learn more about the differences and best use cases for each type of project here.

 

I hope this may help!

Thank you!

Could you change project type for a project already created?
