Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up a company-managed project in Jira from scratch.

Quick summary

A company-managed project in Jira gives administrators full control over workflows, issue types, and project settings. This step-by-step walkthrough shows how to create a project in Jira by selecting a template, configuring project details, and choosing the company-managed project type.


Steps

  1. On Jira's main home page, navigate to the left-side panel and click the 'Create Space' button next to Spaces.
  2. Select the template you prefer to use for your new project.
  3. Click 'Use Template' to confirm your template selection and proceed.
  4. Fill in all required project details — including Name, Access, and Key — in their respective input fields.
  5. Click the drop-down menu under 'How Your Space is Managed' and select 'Company-Managed' from the list.
  6. Click 'Next' to continue to the final step.
  7. Your company-managed project in Jira is now successfully created.

📌 Why this matters

Creating a company-managed project in Jira gives teams centralized administrative control over workflows, permissions, and issue configurations — making it the preferred choice for organizations that need standardized processes across multiple teams. Unlike team-managed projects, company-managed projects in Jira support advanced workflow customization and global configuration schemes that scale with enterprise needs. This demo matters because getting the project type right from the start determines how much flexibility and governance your team has throughout the project lifecycle. For teams adopting Jira for structured project management, knowing how to correctly set up a company-managed project is a foundational skill.
