This page contain information about JIRA projects useful during new project creation

Step-by-step guide

1. Select project name and key
   
   Each project has a unique name (e.g. JIRA Junior) and a unique key (e.g. JJ). The project key becomes the first part of that project's issue keys, e.g. JJ-1, JJ-2, etc.
   
   
2. Select one of project types (listed below) which are related to your requirements. More deep description is available on:  JIRA applications and project types overview
   
   
   
   
   Project type is related to issue types and schemes which are pre-configured. It could be changed in future, but it is easier to start from type related to your methodology or procedures.
   
   
3. Raise issue in SWDSD project -> https://jira.software.geant.org/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10500
   with all related information: name, key, type and users/developers if you need help with permission assignment.

Linking from command line:

Where XXX is a project key or name and YYY is a Confluence space key or name.

--action addSpaceLink --project XXX --name YYY
or
--action addSpaceLink --project XXX   (to link to the XXX space in Confluence)

When your instance is like site where every project has a Confluence space with the same key as the Jira project.

Benefits from linking Jira and Confluence:

• Automatic links:
  Whenever a Jira issue is mentioned in a Confluence page using the Jira Issue Macro, Jira will create an issue link to that page for you, automatically. Specs to issues, knowledge base articles to support tickets, project outlines to tasks – easily access those pages, straight from Jira.

• Ad-hoc links:
  You can create links between issues and related pages with the Link dialog in Jira. It’s perfect for referencing a knowledge base article that’s related to a bug report, or user stories and requirements for a new feature request.
  
• Embed issues with copy and paste
• Create new issues from scratch
• Display your Jira data with charts
• Maintain traceability within Confluence
• Create issues from instructional text
