Use this interactive demo to learn how to rename a project directly inside Jira's Project Settings.

Quick summary

Changing a project name in Jira takes just a few clicks inside Project Settings. Navigate to the Details tab, update the Name field, and save to apply the change instantly.


Steps

  1. Go to Project Settings in the left sidebar of your board.
  2. Open the Details tab to locate the Name field of your project.
  3. Click the Name field and edit the project name to your desired value.
  4. Hit Save to apply your changes.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping your Jira project names accurate is essential for team alignment, searchability, and clean project governance. Jira's Project Settings allow administrators to rename a project in seconds without disrupting boards, tickets, or workflows. This matters because outdated or unclear project names can cause confusion across sprints, roadmaps, and reporting dashboards. A simple, well-named project improves navigation and ensures every team member is working in the right context.
