JIRA VS LINEAR
Don’t let tools limit your team. Jira gives you room to scale with an agentic system of record built for flexibility, context, and governance.

See why teams choose Jira, from startup to enterprise.
The bottleneck in AI-native development isn't agent capability, it's coordination at scale to keep our engineers in the flow. We're partnering with Atlassian to solve that: one place where every agent action is visible, governed, and tied to a business outcome.”
SEAN JOERG, Deputy CISO & Head of Corporate Engineering
We tried to make another vendor work for us for about six months, but ultimately pivoted back to Atlassian. Jira provides us with all the tools we need to scale AI-native development to the enterprise: a properly structured work hierarchy, discrete issue estimation and workflow management capabilities.”
JEFF ARBOR, Director, Technical Operations & Program Management
Agents in Jira raise the floor for what every team can do. You don't need to be an engineer or an AI expert. If you work in Jira, you get access to the same agentic patterns and automations. That's the real power—capability becomes a property of the system, not just the individual.”
MATTHEW HARGREAVES, Head of Product Delivery and Automation
We've been able to eliminate other duplicative or repetitive tooling, which has been awesome, and really embrace and recognize the entire tool kit together as an ecosystem, not individual tools,”
JOE COTANT, Senior Technical Program Manager
From specs to releases to incidents, software work inevitably fractures as you scale. Teams growing from startup to enterprise have trusted Jira to hold that context together for over 20 years.

Agent-ready ideas before the first line of code
Jira spans the full journey: insights from Jira Product Discovery, cross-team planning, and portfolio visibility across every function. Before your agents write a single line of code, the spec, decision log, and customer research are already loaded.
Agents that know your whole org
Human in the loop, at scale
AI workflows for every team

Extend Jira to get full visibility and collaboration across teams.
DX tracks cycle time, PR throughput, and developer velocity so engineering leaders can see exactly where AI is moving the needle.
Put Rovo to work inside Jira, researching, drafting, and taking action across every tool your team already uses.
Pair Jira with Confluence and Loom so specs, decisions, meetings, and async updates all feed the source of truth your agents use.
| When teams need | Jira has | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Org-wide context for AI agents | Context from Jira, Confluence, Loom, SCM, Slack/MS Teams, and more | Agents need context to work effectively. The Teamwork Graph organizes your company's data for agents to use efficiently. |
| Custom workflow governance and automation | Custom fields, advanced workflows and permissions, approvals, and powerful automation engine | Configurable workflows and automation keep work moving and give agents the guardrails to act safely inside them. |
| Cross-functional work beyond engineering | Templates and features for IT, ops, marketing, finance, and HR teams | All teams need to work together without fragmenting into separate tools as they expand. |
| Portfolio and dependency planning | Plans, Projects, Goals, cross-team roadmaps, portfolio visibility | Leaders need visibility across every team to make decisions with confidence. |
| Ecosystem depth | Forge developer platform, Marketplace, 6,000+ apps | Teams need a platform that extends to new tools and use cases without forcing a switch. |
| Enterprise-grade data protection and residency | FedRAMP, data residency, advanced encryption (BYOK) | Growing organizations need governance and compliance controls that keep pace with scale. |
