We take you through the basics to managing Agile projects within Jira in just 3 hours.

Objectives:

To take participants from little or no understanding of issue tracking and project planning systems to competent daily users of Jira. We aim to work through the application of Jira from planning, tracking, releasing and reporting on software projects. At the point of completion participants will be happy setting up, configuring and managing software projects with Jira. Live online exercises are designed to reinforce all of the concepts taught in this training course.
