There are two flavours available: Scrum boards and Kanban boards.

Scrum board

In the Agile Scrum framework, focus lies on short iterations of work: planning what can be done within (at YME) 2 weeks of time. 

• As such, we see an active sprint with items in it (centre screen).
• These items are organised into larger topics called Epics (left screen list, but also the coloured labels on centre screen items).
• When one item is clicked, the details are shown (right screen sidebar).

Kanban board

In the Agile Kanban framework, focus lies on limiting multi-tasking: by choosing fewer items to start, it's possible to complete each more quickly.

...

At the top of both Scrum and Kanban screens we see a big red "Create" button, which allows us to add new items. When doing so, the correct project and issue-type needs to be chosen.

There are different issue-types in Jira. Each issue-type has an icon that allows us to quickly recognise it.

...

To search, choose "Issues" in the top menu, and then "Search for issues":

The basic search allows you to choose values, filtering down until you see the data you want. If you want to add more criteria, click the "more" button and add a field to filter on.

By saving the search, you create a Filter that can be used as basis for a Team Board or Dashboard.

The "advanced" search allows more features, but requires understanding of simple queries. Jira offers search help to build these queries.

...

You can choose which details are shown about the results, by choosing the Columns that should be displayed.

...

If you are not part of a development team, but wish to understand more about how tickets are processed or other trendsprocesses, it's possible to build a custom Dashboard that shows you all you require.

Dashboards can collect visualisations of filtered data onto one page, letting you interpret data at a glance, or click on details to uncover the underlying data.
