How to create a project in JIRA? I can only see spaces now, has something changed in JIRA software?

Question

I am unable to find an option to create a project in JIRA, everything is under spaces now. Within Space, it asks me to create a Scrum or Kanban board. Is that the right way? I am confused as I am used to using old ways of JIRA software board where spaces were for documentation. Development boards were to manage sprints.

Hi @Saba Oruj !

Some time ago, Projects was renamed to Spaces. So everyting what you need is a click on Spaces, then on + (Create new Space).

Hi @Saba Oruj,

This is a terminology change in Jira. Projects are now called spaces, but they are the exact same thing. When you want to create a project, creating a space is now the way to do it.

Hope this clarifies!
