In this chapter, we looked at some of the additional customizations JIRA Agile offers, so you can now create your Scrum and Kanban boards just the way you want them. We also looked at JIRA Agile lab features, specifically parallel sprints. You need to take care when using these features in production, as they are generally not supported, and can be removed at any time.

JIRA Agile being an add-on for JIRA, is able to take full advantage of many JIRA features including the dashboard and wallboard, as well as the ability to integrate with other systems. We looked at integrating JIRA Agile with Confluence and Team Calendar, so you can create detailed documentations and report and cross reference them with epics, user stories, and sprints.

Remember, a bit part of these integrations is to take the data out of JIRA Agile so it is not in a silo, and share the information with the team and other stakeholders of your projects. By sharing information on a dashboard, and retrospectively reviewing your progress as a team, you can contiguously refine and improve together, and become successful at using agile and being agile.
