So far, you have seen and used JIRA as a traditional issue-tracking system, where users can log issues and transition them through workflows. With the recent increased adoption of agile development methodologies, it is clear that JIRA by itself is not enough, and this is where JIRA Agile comes in.

JIRA Agile adds the power of agile methodologies to JIRA by providing a new user interface to help you and your team visualize user stories you have at hand. This also helps you prioritize your backlog. JIRA Agile is a separate product and does not come with JIRA. The first step for us is to install it via the Marketplace.
