Step by step
The Free plan
- Jira + Confluence for free. Jira and Confluence are the tools most business analysts use every day, and you can get both for free. Let me show you what the free plan includes, and how to sign up.
- The Free plan. This is Jira's pricing page. The free plan is free forever for up to ten users. Perfect for practice, or a small team.
- 10 users, 2 GB. You get two gigabytes of file storage, plus boards, backlogs and reports.
Sign up

- No credit card. Atlassian only asks for your email. No credit card needed.

- Sign up. Then click sign up.
- Check your email. Atlassian emails you a six digit code. Type it in, then add your name and a password.
- Pick a site name. Next you pick a site name. It becomes your own web address. I picked prince the BA, so my site is prince the BA dot atlassian.net.
Your Jira
- Your new Jira. And here it is. A brand new Jira site, ready to use. This is the for you page, your personal start page.
- Create. The create button is where every new task, story or bug starts. We'll use it a lot in the next videos.
- Your space. During setup, Atlassian asks you to name your first space. I called mine online shop. That's where our demo project lives.
Add Confluence
- Add Confluence. Confluence is added the same way. From the app switcher, pick Confluence and choose the free plan. It joins the same site.
- Your Confluence. And here's Confluence. This is where requirements, meeting notes and decisions live.
- Create a page. Use create to start your first page. Jira tracks the work, Confluence holds the knowledge.
