Jira and Jira Core

Question

Currently I have a subscription for Jira & Confluence.

I have been not been using the software development features of Jira at all over the last few years and thinking a less complex project management tool might be more applicable to my use, enter Jira Core.

Curious if Jira Core might be a good replacement for Jira as a project management - has anyone gone in this direction?

Can I replace Jira with Jira Core - or do I need both?

Does Jira Core integrate in any way with Confluence?

Without Jira is Confluence less useful?

Thank you!

Hi Tom,

let me try to answer one question at a time:

* JIRA Core is the one that has everything (Workflows, Screens, Permissions, notifications,..)
* JIRA Software has Boards and Sprints (if you don't use them then yo ucan go with JIRA Core only).
* JIRA Core integrates with Confluence
* You don't have to have JIRA in order to use Confluence. Having both is amazing but having only one of them is great

Let me know if this helps, if not you are more than welcome to ask more questions.
