Automation is the most fun part of Jira administration! It’s easy to build simple and complex rules so you can focus on more important admin tasks instead. In this course, instructor Rachel Wright shows you how to use automation to communicate and update information, effortlessly repeat frequent tasks, sync information between issues, perform routine maintenance, calculate values, and automatically send reminders and alerts. With Atlassian’s no-code engine and low-code apps you can accomplish work faster, with less clicks, and less human error.
