"Jira Business project" a Jira Software project or Servicer Desk project?

Linda Korpås_8ied8x

This might be a stupid question but...

We have licenses on both Jira and Jira service management, both Cloud. When filtering Jira projects I can see different project types, see below,  and I wonder if both Jira -  Business project and Jira - Software project goes under our Jira licensing or if any of them is a Jira Service management project? I assume that these are both Jira Software and goes under our Jira license but I just want to make sure since I can't really see that anywhere more than just looking at the project details. 

 

When I filter projects I can choose these project types:

Jira - Business projects

Jira - Software projects

Jira Service management

Jira product discovery

 

Thank you!

Hi @Linda Korpås , good question for clarification.

Historically, Jira Work Management (the business projects you see) was billed separately from Jira Software (the software projects you see), however recently Atlassian announced these would be consolidated.

(Edit: Yup! This was announced as part of Team 24 last year: https://www.atlassian.com/blog/announcements/the-next-era-of-jira)

 

Here's the Atlassian Licensing FAQ with more details, and some additional context around related questions: https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/jira-work-management#why-jwm-jsm-unifying%3F

 

Jira Service Management is still a separate product that licenses need to be procured for, and that only encompasses Jira Service Management projects.

The same is true for Jira Product Discovery, that is a separate subscription only for Jira Product Discovery projects. 

 

If you have access to the Atlassian Admin page at admin.atlassian.com, you should be able to see a more fine breakdown of how many licenses you have available, and what users have what licenses.

 

Hope that helps!

Robert
