Jira is for task tracking, request tracking, and project management. As organizations continue to adopt digital technology, more and more teams are leveraging Jira to track work and help teams meet goals. Jira is already the industry standard for software development teams and increasingly, other teams, like marketing, legal, IT, and finance are adopting it as well. By learning Jira you’ll be able to easily manage your own daily tasks and help your organization plan their strategic initiatives. In this course, instructor Rachel Wright teaches you about navigating Jira, working with projects and issues, and creating filters, dashboards, and boards. Join Rachel to learn how to create and edit issues, estimate time and effort, create custom views, search for and find issues, and adjust preferences so Jira works best for you.
Note: While Atlassian ended support for Jira Server in February 2024, the decommission does not impact this course. Whether you still use Server or have migrated to Data Center, the user interface is the same.
