Is JIRA licence needed with JSM for an Agent

Stéphane Hallé

Hello,

Do we need a licence for Jira (Core) and Jira Service Management (JSM) to be able to develop an ITSM within JSM?

Hi @Stéphane Hallé 

Welcome to the community!

To develop and use IT Service Management (ITSM) capabilities within Jira Service Management (JSM), you only need a license for Jira Service Management. JSM includes all the necessary features to develop ITSM workflows, manage requests, incidents, changes, and assets.

1. Jira Service Management (JSM):

   • JSM is designed specifically for ITSM and service desk management. It includes features like request management, incident management, change management, problem management, and more, tailored to ITSM needs.
   • A JSM license includes all the core Jira functionalities you need to develop ITSM processes. This means you can create projects, workflows, and configurations directly within JSM.

2. Jira Core:

   • Jira Core is the base product for generic project management and is typically used by business teams for task tracking and project management.
   • If your organization is only developing ITSM capabilities within JSM, a separate Jira Core license is not required. JSM includes Jira Core's capabilities as part of its offering.

Hope this helps!

Best regards

Sam
