Summary


In this chapter, we discussed things that you plan before implementing JIRA in your company, understood how JIRA is intended to be used in the future, and how it helps JIRA administrators to choose the right hardware. We also discussed the JIRA installation in detail and various ways to upgrade it. Finally, we briefly discussed some possible use cases of JIRA.

In the next chapter, we will understand how to search the issues. JIRA comes with a powerful search mechanism that helps users to easily find the information they are looking for. JIRA has a query language called JIRA Query Language (JQL), which is used for advanced searching. We will also discuss how to save your search queries as filters, which can be referred to again in the future.
