Hi @Saleena John 

Jira Software (cloud) is free to use upto 10 users. You do not have to manage any data center/ take care of installation related issues if you use Jira Cloud.

Visit this link: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/free

And you can start using Jira for Free.

you tagged the post as "server"

for server, you need to install the jira instance and configure everything (if you use LDAP for user management). mybe your company IT will help you with this.

If you use cloud, you don't need to install jira.

in both cases, you need to create the jira project, and maybe customize the workflows, transitions, custom fields.

this is not so hard and there are a lot of tutorials for this.

Cloud is a great place to start.

Some of the info that I think is really useful for getting started:

Good luck with it!

Since you are new to Jira there are also a number of short videos posted in the community for people who are new to Jira. Jira administration does need some amount of training ... especially if you use a classic project. Net-gen projects don't require as much training and are a little easier to use for people who are new to Jira.
