Course Content
Course Project
Whether you’re new to Jira configuration or an experienced user, this course will take you through the fundamentals of configuring two workflows and three boards. Will dive deep into the powerful tools that Jira offers and discuss how they can be applied to the project at hand.
By providing clear direction on how each component works in conjunction with another, you’ll gain a truly comprehensive understanding of setting up Jira for success. Upon completion of the jira course, you’ll be well versed in customizing every aspect of your project’s workflows and boards so that it meets the exact needs of your team!
Jira Workflows and Schemes Concepts
Jira workflows and schemes are the lifeblood of an efficient Jira project management system. In a nutshell, jira workflow schemes define how tasks move from one step to the next, adding sequenced efficiency and order to online workflows.
This is especially important when managing projects with multiple stakeholders, as jira workflow schemes provide a clear understanding of what steps need to be taken in order for the task to be completed.
Workflow Components
When it comes to jira workflow components, there are several distinct elements that should be examined. In this section of the course we will do a comprehensive review of all components (statuses, transitions, resolutions, transition screens, triggers, conditions, validators, post function, properties).
These components serve as the building blocks for effective management of projects so understanding them thoroughly is critical for successful and reliable configuration of your Jira instance.
Jira Board Concepts
Using jira boards concepts is a fantastic way to keep track of project tasks. Jira boards are a visual representation of an issue tracking system, consisting of various columns. Each column typically corresponds to the progress of a project task, and items can be moved between them as its status changes.
Overall jira board concepts are becoming an increasingly popular tool used by businesses of all sizes who want complete visibility into their workflows.
Board Components and Settings
Jira boards have many configuration settings, like filters, columns and swimlanes, so users can tailor it to the specific needs of their teams’ workflows. However, with all the Jira board settings available, it can be difficult to know which ones are best for setting up a specific board. This is why learning how to configure Jira boards properly is essential.
In this section, you’ll get an in-depth look at Jira’s numerous board settings, as well as how and when to use them in order to maximize effectiveness of your team. You’ll also understand how to effectively configure different kinds of Jira boards that align with each project’s unique needs and goals.
Jira Reports
Jira’s powerful reporting features are key to monitoring progress and identifying areas for improvement. There are five core reports that provide an in-depth look at different aspects of your project. These include the Burndown Chart, the Burnup Chart, the Sprint Report, the Velocity Chart and the Cumulative Flow Diagram.
This section will explain how accurately reviewing these five Jira reports when working on a project can be invaluable in ensuring it remains successful and on track with goals set out before started work on it!
Boards in Jira Mobile App
Working collaboratively on the go has never been easier thanks to the free Jira mobile app. With its boards feature, users can access all of their jira boards from their mobile device and get real-time updates about how the projects are progressing.
Besides just viewing boards in mobile app, users can also create and edit jira issues quickly and easily, and in this section we will review how to do all of that.
