Can I use Jira software for non-software projects like Marketing or HR?

Yes, Jira software can also be used for non-software projects such as marketing or HR.

The flexibility, customizability, ease of use, and scalability of Jira software make it ideal for managing different types of projects and issues. As a result, many teams and departments can use Jira software profitably. Atlassian even offers a set of project templates specifically designed for non-software projects, such as marketing campaigns and HR processes.
