I think that boards are so useful that I recommend JIRA Software far more often than JIRA Core. You can use JIRA without boards, but people don't like it as much

Stewart McGill July 13, 2016

I agree. The boards are a must have.

Stewart, are you talking about PDLC instead of SDLC? Some of JIRA's features can be used with PDLC, but not fully. I want to pitch something else but I am bound not to smile

Yes, it is essentially a Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC). In some circles it could be called a Product Lifecycle Managemetn (PLM) as well. The activities include management and change tracking of engineering (non-software) developmental activities up to the point it would be put under full configuration management in a Product Data Management (PDM) system. Does that help?

Yep, I am working with something like that. JIRA as PLM. Stick with JIRA Software.

Depends on what you mean by engineering development (non-software). For example, do they need scrum boards? If so, you need JIRA software.
