# Introduction - How to use Jira

[`Filters >`](./filters.html)

<br>

[Jira](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira) is one of the most used project management and issue tracking products out there.

It has a lot of features that can be quite overwhelming for new comers, especially these who are new to project management software. That's why I'm writing this tutorial.

**Note**: certain actions can be done only from a project administrator
