As we have already seen, Jira comes with a number of project types, depending on what applications you have installed. The business project type, being part of Jira Core, is available to all installations.

Business projects are very similar to how Jira worked before Jira 7, when it worked as a highly customizable, generic task-tracking system. The focus of the business project type and its templates is to enable users to easily create tasks and track and report their progress.

Out of the box, you have three built-in templates, each with a set of predefined configurations such as workflows and fields, to give you some idea of how to set up your projects. You can use them as is or customize them further, based on your needs.
