Getting started documentation

Here are some good JIRA Starter Guides:

Historical Context

Before Winter 2020, WATonomous used Phabricator workboards as our task management tool: https://phabricator.watonomous.ca/project/view/1/

In Winter 2020, we switched to the industry standard JIRA & Confluence tools. As part of this, all Phab projects were replicated as JIRA projects and active tasks were migrated from Phab to JIRA. The old Phabricator tool will be kept running (but not used) for 12 months, then abandoned. 

This document is being written at the start of W20, and so since JIRA has not been used yet, there is not much I can say in the User Guide. However, as we start using JIRA in W20 and onwards, this guide will be updated with things we learn about how to use JIRA.
