Course Description
In these lessons on Jira features, you will learn how to navigate the menus while getting a high-level overview of the features, their purposes, and uses. You will learn how to create new issues and projects and manage them on a Jira board, backlog, and active sprint.
You will learn how to create new projects by choosing from different templates, such as Scrum or Kanban. Projects contain issues, and we will create issues including the issue types for epics, user stories, tasks, or bugs for your team.
The Jira backlog is essential as it is where you prioritize and manage your issues, and we will cover how to create new issues from the project menu, global create button, or within another issue. You will also learn how to assign issues, update their details, and add attachments.
Active sprints are the key to working collaboratively, and you can plan and execute sprints on a Jira board by starting, completing, and editing a sprint theme. You will also learn about search filters and how to create your own or use the built-in ones, such as ‘My Open Issues,’ ‘Reported by me,’ or ‘Recently viewed.’
We will also cover reports to help you track and analyze your team's performance, and how to view different types of reports, such as the burndown chart, velocity chart, cumulative flow diagram, and sprint report.
