Create a new space
Jira apps come with many different space templates created to suit your team's needs and workflow. For example, you can create spaces optimized for Scrum or Kanban methodologies, or for tracking simple, straightforward tasks for marketing, legal, HR or other business teams.
Jira admins can create spaces from any template, including both company-managed and team-managed spaces. Any user can create their own team-managed space (like the team-managed Scrum or Kanban spaces). Jira admins can change this setting in global permissions.
To create a space:
Hover over Spaces in the side navigation, then select Create space ().
Under space templates, templates are grouped into a library of use-case based categories. Under Apps, templates are grouped by Jira Cloud apps. Choose a category or app.
Learn more about the available templates and select a template.
View the detailed information on the template and choose Use template.
Give your space a name.
Choose either company-managed or a team-managed space. More about team-managed spaces
If you’re creating a space using the team-managed Kanban or Scrum templates, these include recommended defaults for work types, statuses, and views. You can adjust these options and preview the setup before creating your space.
Select Create.
We automatically generate a space key when the space is created. Whoever created the space is set as the space owner by default.
To change these details:
From your space sidebar, select Space settings.
Select Details.
We remember which template you choose and use that as the default whenever you create a space.
Create a space that shares its configuration with another space
Only Jira admins can create spaces with a shared configuration. The shared configuration setting isn't available on Free plan.
Spaces that share configuration share:
work types
workflows
screens
fields
permissions
notifications
If a change is made to one of the spaces' configurations, it affects all the spaces that share that configuration. You'll be notified if a setting is shared.
To create a space with a shared configuration:
Hover over Spaces in the side navigation, then select Create space ().
Under space templates, templates are grouped into a series of use-case based categories. Under Apps, templates are grouped by Jira Cloud apps. Choose a category or app.
Learn more about the available templates and select a template.
View the detailed information on the template and choose Use template.
Choose: Company-managed.
Give your space a name.
Tick the Share settings with an existing space checkbox.
Use the Choose space dropdown to select the space from which you want your new space to share its configuration.
Select Create.
