Software development is a special type of work and great tools are needed to do it well. Jira Software’s features extend Jira so development teams can implement feature requests, track progress, fix bugs, and manage their work from requirements gathering to deployment. In this course, Rachel Wright covers: How Jira Software extends Jira with development-specific features; ways to leverage backlogs, sprints, and fix versions; how to use different software project types; the differences between company-managed and team-managed projects; how to leverage filters and filter subscriptions; how to create your own custom boards and dashboards; and more. Rachel also presents several challenges and solutions, so you can practice what you learn as you follow along.
