Where can I find and use the new "Atlassian Projects" feature?

[Franco Aníbal Frías]

Hi everyone, I recently read about the new Atlassian Projects feature, which is supposed to support traditional project management with defined start/end dates, milestones, and assigned owners—unlike the classic Jira "Projects" (now called "Spaces") that are more for ongoing work.

However, I can't seem to find this new functionality anywhere in my Jira Cloud instance. Is it a separate product? A new module? Or is it only available for certain plans or regions?

I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain:

• Where exactly to access Atlassian Projects

• How it's different in practice from the old Jira Projects (now "Spaces")

• Whether it's already available or still rolling out

Thanks in advance for any guidance or links you can share!

Atlassian Projects is part of the Atlassian Platform Experiences and provides a lightweight, cross-product “project” record with start/end dates, milestones, owners, and weekly status updates; it is separate from Jira projects and is not a replacement for them. If it isn’t visible in your site yet, it’s likely because Platform Experiences is not activated for your site or your site is pending rollout/migration from Atlas

How to find and access them

• In the top navigation, open Home and use the Projects directory to create or browse Atlassian Projects
• Use the app switcher in the header and look for Projects under the Platform experiences section
• Organization admins can enable Platform Experiences at admin.atlassian.com by opening Organization → Settings → Platform experiences and activating it for the target site; once enabled, Projects appears in Home and the header

Thanks

Thanks a lot, Jayesh!
That makes perfect sense, it’s probably that the Platform Experiences feature isn’t enabled in our environment yet, since I still can’t find the option anywhere.
Appreciate your help and clear explanation!

Best regards,

Hi and Welcome ,

you can find the project and goals feature under atlassian home , but you you have it be activate as app in the atlassian apps of the organisation administration. 

I access it over Atlassian Home . 

The complete documentation you find here, how it works. and i think it is a good approach to use in this case Goals to. 

Track goals and projects across Atlassian apps | Platform experiences | Atlassian Support
