**For Business Leaders:** Jira isn’t just a project tracker; it’s a rich data platform that can function like a **Graph Database**. In large enterprises, work items (tasks, risks, incidents, etc.) form a web of relationships.

Use the techniques in Section 4 to extract and query the data. Demonstrate to stakeholders how a question that previously took weeks to investigate (by emailing around, collating spreadsheets) can now be answered in seconds via a Jira query or dashboard – thanks to treating Jira as a graph. This will solidify the value and pave the way for broader adoption.
