Jira provides the most flexibility and customization options out of the Jira and Trello options. Jira supports any agile project management methodology that your team might need. From agile planning to fully customizable Kanban and Scrum boards, Jira gives you the tools you need to estimate, report and measure velocity with workflows designed to fit your frameworks.
Jira is the home for all teams to manage projects and processes across the company. No matter your department or the complexity of your work, Jira enables your team to easily collaborate, align, and deliver work in one place. Jira has a simple interface with multiple views of your tasks to include board, list, calendar, and timeline views.
Jira is the best choose for software development teams but non technical teams may also prefer the flexibility that they get with the ability to create boards that display tasks and tickets from projects across multiple tools such as Jira Service Management and Jira
You can use Advanced Planning guides functionality available to us with our premium version to support tracking timelines and dependencies.
Staff can request a Jira project & license to get started.

Welcome to Jira walks through all the detailed components of Jira to include a section discussing boards & views, issue hierarchy (epics, stories, tasks, and subtasks), searching, and reporting & dashboards
Sample Jira project about implementing a new scholarship management system that illustrates epics, stories, tasks, and subtasks. I assigned start dates and due dates which when viewed in the Calendar and Timeline view, give you the more traditional Gantt chart view. If you expand and look at EX-19 in that view, you will also see how dependencies are represented in the Timeline view. Please note: this example is for Jira feature demonstration and does not represent realistic timelines nor all dependencies. NOTE: You must have a Jira license to access this project.
Request additional licenses for other project team members.
