Course Description

This Introduction to Jira course will get you up to speed on how to be more productive and effective in Jira. With six hours of content, we'll focus on the three main types of users in Jira. The modules in this course are broken up for each of these types, so no matter which one you are you'll be able to quickly access the things you need.
We'll start by covering some core concepts and terms you'll need to know about both agile and Jira before diving into the software itself. After that, we'll look at Jira from an end user's perspective. What are the key things you'll need to know as someone who's just using Jira at your company? That's what we'll look at in the second module.
When you're a team leader or manager using Jira, there's some things you can do to help your team be more effective. So we'll look at some of these things in the third module.
Finally, as a Jira administrator there's a lot of ways you can help your company by setting them up for success in Jira. In the fourth module, we'll look at Jira from an administrator's perspective.
Now even though this course is organized for different types of users, I wanted to make it so no matter what type of user you are you'll benefit from watching all of it if you wanted. For example, even if you're only using Jira as an end user you can find it beneficial to understand how Jira workflows and processes work so you can "speak the language" when you're asking your Jira administrator for something.
Who this course is for:
This Jira course is meant for three main types of people: Jira users who want to be able to use it better. Team leaders and managers who want to take advantage of its features for their team and, finally, administrators who need to set Jira up for their teams and companies.
This Jira course is NOT meant to be an end-all, one-stop-shop for everything you'll need to know to customize every feature in JIRA. There's just too many variables to include everything, so instead we're focusing on the core concepts and features to get you up to speed quickly.

Instructor is great. Talks clear and provides real office experience.

By Vaughan Campbell on 12/20/2020

Instructor is knowledgeable and sounded clear. I know its an intro course but I felt it was rushed and far too short. No need for the plug to his website at the end of every videos mostly lasting a couple of minutes as I got the feeling it was trying to draw me away from Udemy. His hand gesturing was very distracting as well as his face cam flicking off and back on all the time on my screen. The content of the videos were very hard to see on my iPad as I worked through this course away from home. Pleased I did not pay full price for this course but it was a good short introduction to Jira. I would have liked to have seen an example of a real world IT project not his web dev/podcast example so that I can see what I will need to know about Jira as a project manager.

This is my first UDEMY course and I must say it went very well and I was able to follow along easily.
