Hi John,

this is a lot of questions rolled into one and to properly answer would take quite a bit of effort and also some follow on Q&A effort too. With tape said I have perused each of your requirements and I don’t see any that could not be met. With that said the devil is in the detail as often the “how” influences the answer. For example OOTB Jira might meet one of your requirements but you might want something slightly different in which case an addon might be needed to fulfill your requirements. So my answer to you is yes Jira should meet all of your listed requirements but you ultimately may want or need addons to completely meet your needs. In fact I would say that the majority of deployments include one or more addons.

next steps:

• reaches the getting started documentation- jirasoftwareserver-docs 
• set up a trial and assess
