Course Description

This course teaches you how to use the invaluable automation tool in Jira.

This tool (that was previously a paid add-on) has proven to be so popular and useful, that it was taken over by Atlassian themselves, and is now included with all Cloud subscription. It is still an add-on available on Jira Server though.

Automation for Jira allows you to set up Triggers, Conditions and Actions, where you can listen for a particular event in Jira to trigger an automation rule, then check certain conditions and execute some actions accordingly. We will be learning this tool through real-world examples, some of which include:

  • Send notifications (email/slack) when an issue is created with a particular priority, or when the priority is set to a specific value, or simply whenever the priority is upgraded

  • Automatically distribute workload to the development team by auto-assigning issues and keeping balance in workload between all team members

  • Embed issue data in the automation logic and include in notifications

  • Perform recurring tasks automatically and on a scheduled basis (like creating recurring issues)

  • Track how many times an issue goes to a particular status

  • Post a list of filter results to Slack at the same time every weekday

  • Bulk update issues using smart logic

  • and many more....

STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE:   

  • Introduction and background – Introduce the tool, talk about background and other logistics and get our first look at an automation rule

  • Basic Rules – We'll start with the basics and introduce you to many highly useful features and capabilities such as smart values, branch rules, and take a look at certain triggers and actions

  • Advanced Rules – Now you've got the hang of it so here we'll just see more examples, many of which use more advanced triggers/actions and general automation logic.

Hope to see you inside :)

Instructor Details

I am an Atlassian Consultant and Certified Atlassian Trainer. My experience started with Product Management at a startup for several years. Through that, I got introduced to Jira and there was no looking back. It massively helped my company as well as my personal productivity. Now with certifications in Jira Cloud administration, SAFe Practice Consulting and ITIL, I have helped numerous companies adopt, manage and master Jira and all products in the Atlassian tool suite. It only made sense to share my experience, successes, even failures and general knowledge that I've gained cause I know that sharing and teaching only results in even more learning. So here's to productivity and learning and hope to see you in one of my courses.

The course is very good. Despite it's short length I feel like it added quite a lot of value on top of the normal Jira Course. The only thing I would like to add is sometimes we would benefit from slowing down a bit. I sometimes have to go back to follow along because I didn't have the time to turn my head to the other screen to see what was being done!

The instructor really demonstrated distinctive understanding of the subject matter and used real word scenarios in his demos. One other thing I really like about his teaching methodology is that he has a way of sometimes making intentional mistakes to teach how to be able to avoid or troubleshoot when they encounter problem. He must be an industry expert.

Thanks so much for your very valuable training. I really enjoyed it. I feel much better prepared to deal with uncomfortable issues. Thank you for your wisdom, experience and personable presentation with examples.

By Anonymized User on 7/27/2023

This was fantastically done. The way you gradually used all the features and kept returning to them by including them with new content kept the information very digestable. And their demonstration through real-world examples gave the context I needed to have it really click in with the work I'm actively trying to do right now. I've never been so excited about my huge to do list of client automations I have to make. Thank you!!!

Good course for a beginner. The topics are explained in sequence from simple to advanced levels. The examples are real world examples, and many of the topics that my team wanted to do automatically were also coincidentally covered in the course. I ran the course in 2x speed and still was able to comprehend the lecture because of its logical and sequential nature. Kudos!

As a fluent power user/administrator of Jira Data Center and Server, I wanted to get a better understanding of some of the native features in cloud. This was a good break down in some of the general automation features that I can look to showing teams and project members how to configure self service. Though the intel on utilizing the features were pretty good and straight forward. I felt that there was a lack of information on governance of the automation for project administrators None the less this is good intel for beginners and those admins wanting to push users to work with their own project level automation.

By Adam McKinty on 11/9/2022

Got much of what I needed, well described and taught. I would like to understand howthe Component >Edit Issues>More Options area with 'Additional fields' works. It seems like it might be a powerful way to make changes.

By Anonymized User on 10/25/2022

Overall very good and very informative. At the final stages of the course I believe it was a bit rushed (at least for myself). I was struggling to keep up and understand what the instructor was saying and had to rewind the videos back to fully understand the concept.

By Andrejs Vorobjovs on 12/25/2021

Just completed. Strongly recommend this course to everyone who is studying Jira or working in Jira already. One of the most comprehensive courses I've taken. If you're preparing for Jira Cloud exams this course is must learn. Thank creator!! And also, would love to see Confluence course.

By Anthony E on 9/23/2021

All courses from this Tutor is always first class. I have all his Lectures in my Library and have become a Jira Consultant by just following his Videos. I love this one as it simplifies Automation and you can practice along too, this is the secret. Very Clear and Concise. Fantastic. Can you do videos on JSM and OpsGenie too please? Life Long Student!!
