Attempted to download Trello, to practice as you suggested, and it seems that Jira and Trello have been combined! Google Ai had this to say, "Atlassian, the company that develops Jira, acquired Trello for $425 million in 2017, bringing both project management tools under the same corporate umbrella. The acquisition allowed Atlassian to expand its product suite to serve a broader audience beyond software developers, integrating Trello's simpler, more visual approach with Jira's more complex and specialized features".
