Jira Tickets or Confluence Tasks: What Makes More Sense?
In JIRA, companies manage their projects, epics, user stories and detailed tasks. Requirements are translated into concrete tickets that can be assigned and processed. Dependencies are shown here. Project progress is measured and evaluated with JIRA.

All of the standard plugin features are also included in the Enterprise add-on—and then then some.
