Problem
For earlier version before JIRA 7.0.0
As stated in this Going to JIRA Agile Automatically documentation ,user can choose to set Agile as their default homepage in JIRA so that they will go straight to JIRA Agile whenever they log into JIRA or click the JIRA logo at the top left of any page.
To make it so, go to your user dropdown and select My JIRA Home > Agile:


This will result in exactly the same effect as if they had clicked the 'Agile' menu immediately after logging in (i.e. it will automatically take them to their most recently used board in JIRA Agile).
For JIRA version 7.0.0 and onwards
User cannot choose to set Agile as their default homepage in JIRA , instead they only can choose to set Boards as their default homepage in JIRA so that you will go straight to JIRA Agile Manage Board screen whenever they log into JIRA or click the JIRA logo at the top left of any page.
To make it so, go to your user dropdown and select My JIRA Home > Boards


Workaround
Add the board link to the Application Navigator for a faster access.
For more information please refer to Creating links in the application navigator documentation.
