What is the difference between "jira" and "Projects" on the Goals page?

[Pete Stephens]

When viewing a goal we have "tabs" for Overview, Updates, Jira, Projects, Learnings, Risks, and Decisions.

What is the difference between "Jira" and "Projects", how do you use them, and, most importantly, when to use one over the other.

Hello @Pete Stephens 

In this view, “Jira” and “Projects” represent two different types of links to your goal.

“Jira” refers to individual execution work items like epics, stories, and tasks. “Projects” does not mean Jira projects or spaces; instead, it refers to high-level Atlassian Projects used for status tracking, communication, and stakeholder reporting. Simply put, Goals are your desired outcomes, Projects track the high-level initiatives, and Jira handles the day-to-day execution work.

Hi @Pete Stephens 

This documentation should clarify this; understand-how-goals-and-projects-work-with-jira 

If you create a Goal, the Jira option is to link Jira work items, the Project option is the Projects you created in the projects option.

Projects are not the same as a Jira space.
