What is Jira?
The enterprise industry standard for agile project management, issue tracking, and workflow customization.
Jira is a highly powerful, massively customizable platform used to plan, track, and manage software development projects. While often criticized for its complexity, it is highly capable in its ability to handle intricate enterprise workflows, custom reporting, and compliance requirements across thousands of employees.
How it relates to Orbit
Orbit has no Jira integration; agent work is tracked as numbered prompts in its queue, and GitHub Issues appear in the project’s Git/Deploy tab. See The Prompt Queue for details.
