Work on issues
User stories, tasks and bugs are all represented in JIRA Software as issues - they're the building blocks of all projects. During a typical day, these are some of the tasks you might perform.
Create an issue
- Click Create at the top of the screen to open the Create Issue dialog box.
- Select the Project and Issue Type in the Create Issue dialog box.
Type a Summary for the issue and complete any appropriate fields.
Click Create.
Got some really big issues?
You may want to break down your bigger issues into a series of sub-tasks. See Creating issues and sub-tasks for more information.
Estimate issues
Estimating issues helps you predict how long it would take you to deliver certain portions of the backlog.

Transition issues
When you're done working on an issue, it's time to transition the issue by moving that issue from one status to another.
- Click Boards (in header) > select your desired board.
In the Active sprints (Scrum board) or Kanban board (Kanban board), transition an issue(s) by dragging and dropping the issue(s) from one column to another.
