Notice on Jira Terminology Updates

Atlassian has introduced new terminology across Jira to better reflect evolving work practices. For example:

  • “Issue” is now referred to as “work”

  • “Project” is now referred to as “space”

These changes are gradually rolling out across Jira and may already be visible in your Jira interface.

Oracle Analytics Connector team is aware of these updates and is working toward alignment where applicable. In the meantime, you may notice differences between Jira's terminology and what’s currently used in this documentation.
