Learning Jira Software Course Resources

Course Information

Recommended Learning Path

If you’re new to Jira, I recommend starting with my “Learning Jira” course. There’s one course for Cloud and another for Server and Data Center. This course builds on that course and assumes you already know how to use basic Jira functions. This course only covers the features that are additionally provided by Jira Software for development work.

Course Updates
