About the course:
Our instructor-led Jira training course will give you hands-on experience with Atlassian’s massively popular agile project management platform.
Guided by an experienced practitioner, you’ll learn how to navigate projects, create issues, set up Product Backlogs, Scrum and Kanban boards, and report on crucial aspects of your project such as Burndown and Velocity.
If you are joining a team who are already using Jira, our public scheduled courses in London would be right up your street - if you're part of a team that is looking to employ Jira to improve project delivery then you may wish to consider a custom on-site workshop so we can really focus on how you will get the most out of Jira in your specific business domain. It's also available for as part of a wider training programme - for instance graduate intake schemes where you need to introduce a new group of people to how your organisation works.
Don't forget to take a look at our Confluence training course too as these platforms are often rolled out in tandem and integrate really well.
