Which product to use

Question

Hi everyone, my name is Haim and I'm starting a software company.

My problem here is that I'm not a project manager and there are many products available to manage projects.

I see that Jira is commonly used in software projects so I would like to know based on the community's experience how would you structure a startup using Jira's products. What I have found is that there is Jira Software, Work management and product discovery. Plus of course confluence. I'm also following the lean startup methodology, build-measure-learn feedback loop.

Any help would be great. Thanks a lot in advance!

PS: I'm in the validation stage of my company .

My main piece of advice is Jira Align is really targeted for large mature organisations running scaled agile. As your company is new then Jira Align is not the tool for you. I think I perhaps start with Jira and perhaps confluence you can always add tools if you need them.

Hi @Haim Yessouroun welcome to the community.
Jira software to track your issues(change) it integrates well into version control and build/deployment systems to enrich that feedback loop.
Confluence for publishing and collaboration of those efforts as well as building a knowledge base of things learned.
Service Management for all your ITSM and production support.

I've done plenty of implementations over the years and it is my experience that each and every organization works in a different way.  The Atlassian tool stack gives you that flexibility like no other tool stack out there.
