Get started in Jira faster

Creating a new Jira space just got a lot smoother. The new Jira Quick Setup replaces the old multi-step process with a simpler, single-page experience. Configure work types, statuses, and views up front, with defaults tailored for how marketing, HR, ops, and other teams actually work. You can even add sample data or invite teammates before landing in a space that’s ready to go from day one.

How to get started

You’ll see quick setup automatically when you create a new team-managed space using the Kanban or Scrum template. Here's what to expect:

• Step 1: Name your space. Give your space a clear, descriptive name.

• Step 2: Configure your setup. Review the suggested work types, statuses, and views, and adjust them to fit how your team works.

• Step 3: Add sample data (optional). Toggle on sample data to land in a space with example work types and hierarchy, fields, and views.

• Step 4: Invite teammates and connect work. Add your team and connect your new space to Confluence, if you’d like, before landing in your new, configured space.

Configuration notes

• Quick setup is available to all Jira Cloud users.

• For now, the quick setup only applies to team-managed Kanban and Scrum spaces.

• Existing spaces are not affected.

• You can further customize all work types, statuses, and views after setup in your space settings.
