Course Description
In this course, we'll learn a very practical approach to setting up a project in JIRA. As the title of the course implies, this isn't an example project, but rather it's a real-world project that will be used on a daily basis. We'll start by getting the back story for the project so we'll know what the needs are. Then we'll start building the project, customizing JIRA to fulfill our needs. Along the way we'll learn about projects, issues, issue types, screens, schemes, workflows, time tracking and much more.

Due to newer releases of Jira Software the screens don't match up exactly (perennial challenge), but you can figure it out with a little looking,

I have created a Jira account and I am trying to duplicate what you are doing but you are moving the mouse too fast. The versions are also different but that is to be expected. Please slow down when maneuvering from one area to another.

Really good to see this. I'm going to work as an Jira administrator and I love all of Dan LeFebvres Jira courses. They are all super good, easy to follow and filled with knowledge!

It was OK, but access to the tools was hard, and communication with the instructor and not done in a timely manner. Also you really needed to already have administration privileges in JIRA for this class.

The course is excellent and gives us the expertise to create our own project in real life. The pace and duration of the course are ideal. I now feel abel to create m projects in Jira!

Great course for a beginner, I needed to get in and understand the look and feel of what a typical day's workflow would look like
By Tom Barclay on 3/8/2018
Dan goes through a lot of material very quickly. He is very nearly thinking too fast to speak what he wants to communicate. A slower pace with examples more pointed toward a user's experience ("What do you need to do? Is this it? Okay, here's how . . . No? You need to do that, instead? Well you can, simply clicking Z after you click X. You don't need Y for right now." There is also a problem with the end of (I think) lessons 6, 7 and 9 being upcut at the end - don't really know if I heard all Dan had to say.

Very Good Material. Good Presentation, Very Clear in Language and Good Audio Output. The Presenter in Knowledgeable and seems vast in other Applications. Top Marks all the way.

Great delivery of the material and step-by-step making a project in Jira. Need some Jira practice? A great working example of how you could use Jira effectively.
By Apolonio Garcia on 7/29/2017
Excellent course. Great instructor. Only reason I didn't get a full 5 stars is a few of the sessions were abruptly ended in the middle of an explanation.
