Hi @jdigiova,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Simply put, Jira is a project and issue management tool. You can get more information about the Jira family here, Learn how Jira products work. I would also recommend that you check out Jira Fundamentals which is free, and also check out the other free tutorials that Atlassian University offers.
