Description

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.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
