Solution

Create a sample project by creating a board

A sample project can be created by creating a board with sample data. To create a board with sample data:

1. Click the search bar in the top navigation menu and select “All Boards” from the dropdown.

2. On the boards page, click on “Create a new board.”

3. Under your chosen board type (Scrum or Kanban), select the option “Create a board with sample data.”

Once you proceed, Jira will automatically generate a fully functional sample board along with a sample project, pre-populated with example issues and workflows. This allows you to explore features and test configurations in a safe, ready-made environment.
