Hi, I'm new to jira

Julie Sandbrook

Hi everyone, 

I am new to using jira, and have taken on the task of setting it up so our team can manage work against our organisation's strategic objectives. 

We also use confluence, so I am enjoying the ability to use both tools to manage projects.

I would love to understand best practice about setting up our objectives, and the layers of projects and tasks underneath to effectively manage and report activity.

Any pointers will be welcomed!

Hi Julie. Have you tried looking into OKRs (Objectives and Key Results)? There a good introduction on them and how they fit into an agile development model at the following link.

This includes some Jira and Confluence resources you can utilise to track progress.
