Software vs Core usage when all you need is Core

[Joe Chapman]

My team needs only Core to manage projects however, we're going to be given access to Software (8.13 LTS) due to the licenses that we already have available to us.

Anything I should know about in terms of training, documentation or functions before getting into this? Is it merely a case of Software supporting additional features that we likely won't use or is there a difference in the UX/UI that might cause confusion for us?

Hi @Joe Chapman,

You are correct, Jira Software just gives you additional features that is geared towards software development. Other than that, everything works the same. Here is a good overview of the differences between Jira Core and Jira Software, http://www.akeles.com/what-are-the-differences-between-jira-software-jira-service-desk-and-jira-core/
