Overview of this book

Atlassian JIRA 7 is an enterprise issue tracker system. One of its key strengths is its ability to adapt to the needs of an organization, ranging from building software products to managing your support issues. This book provides a comprehensive explanation covering all three components of JIRA 7, such as JIRA Software, JIRA Core, and Jira Service Desk. It shows you how to master the key functionalities of JIRA and its customizations and useful add-ons, and is packed with real-world examples and use cases.

We'll teach you how to integrate your JIRA Application with other tools such as Confluence, SVN, Git, and more, which will help you extend your application.

I would like to express my gratitude to the many people who have helped me through this book. I would like to thank Packt Publishing for giving me a chance to work on this book. Above all, I want to thank my mom Sushila, wife Poonam, and the rest of my family, who supported and encouraged me in spite of all the time it took me away from them. It was a long and difficult journey for them. I would like to thank Suzanne Coutinho and Chaitanya Nair for helping me in the process of selection and reviewing.
