About This Course
This Introduction to JIRA course is intended to get you up to speed on how to be more productive and effective in JIRA. We will 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.
In the first module, we’ll cover 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 are 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.
What are the requirements?
- While you don’t have to have JIRA to watch this course, if you want to follow along you’ll need at least a JIRA Software Cloud subscription from Atlassian.
What am I going to get from this course?
- Understand JIRA’s core features and how it works.
- Use JIRA more productively.
- Benefit from JIRA as a team leader or manager.
- Set JIRA up for your team or company as an administrator.
Who is the target audience?
- 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 are 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.

Pretty Good
Pretty good.
Super informative, for a beginner without knowledge about Jira. I learned now how to use it because of this course. Thank you so much!
Almost Great
Learned a great deal, but was a bit too fast in some areas and seemed to be an older version of JIRA. Generally, happy with course overall.
Excellent Course
Covered all the basics, along with some intermediate and advanced topics. I had only used JIRA a few times before this session, and now feel that I can use it near its full potential. Recommended for anyone who wants to learn how to use JIRA.
