Jira: Atlassian’s Tracker can track absolutely anything!
When people ask us to best summarize Jira, we always use the same phrase – Jira: Atlassian’s tracker. You can track anything in Jira: Atlassian’s Tracker including projects, product development, risks, or even your wine collection.
Few things need the full use of Jira’s capabilities all the time. After all, many projects get by just fine with just the use of spreadsheets. Sure, Excel can be tiring, and cumbersome to track history, but it gets the job done. And undoubtedly, it’s cheap.

The Canadian Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Incentive Program (SRED or SR&ED) provides support in the form of tax credits and/or refunds, to corporations, partnerships or individuals who conduct scientific research or experimental development in Canada.
