Switch to the Gantt-Chart Panel by clicking on the Gantt icon within the navigation menu on the left.
All business projects will be represented using the “Standard View” initially.
All software projects will be represented using the “Sprint View” initially.
On Jira Cloud and on Jira Server/DataCenter since version 5.5.x, an admin can configure a default view globally. Each project admin can also configure a project default view within the project administration overwriting the global one. Each user can modify the look and feel and store it as a new individual view, which will be remembered coming back the next time except a default view (global or project-based) is configured as starting point.
All issues are displayed as hierarchy defined by their rank on the agile board and optionally by the settings of Jira Portfolio. On this ”Standard View”, you see the full work-break-down hierarchy (WBS):

If you select a different pre-defined view like “Sprints View”, you see your sprints and related issues including their story points on the Gantt-Chart: “target start” and “target end” have been configured as custom fields to contain the planned start and end dates. All of them have got a postfix ** to illustrate, that these contents are their content represents suggested calculations, automatically created based on story points multiplied by the sprint's hoursPerStoryPoints. If you have configured any hourly value/story point for this project within the project administration → Gantt-Chart → time equivalent, then that value will be used. Otherwise, hoursPerStoryPoints will be calculated as sum of story points of all issues of that sprint relating to the same assignee divided by the number of working days of the sprint to get an average.
Issues belonging to the same assignee are scheduled as a sequence one after the other.
Issues belonging to different assignees are scheduled in parallel.

In this sample, you see on the first screen copy above that this first sprint shall end at 14/Sept/2019, but on the Gantt-Chart you see that you will need until 19/Sept/2019: that’s a first indicator that you should (re-)validate your estimations, assignments and/or time equivalent based on your team velocity of the past.
