JIRA is the tool of choice in a wide variety of careers. Test engineers, QA engineers, and software testers use JIRA to manage manual and automated tests they use in the software testing process. Software development teams use it to manage tasks assigned to team members as they go from being created to being complete. The software development team members could include UI designers, project managers, software developers, QA engineers, data engineers, software architects, and business analysts. IT staff use JIRA to track bugs in software from the point they become an issue to the moment they are resolved. If you know JIRA, careers where this would be useful also include a computer support technician, desktop support specialist, or software support specialist.
