Jira is the ideal friend and helper for every project management and software development team: The tool allows you to plan projects together with your team members and to create, track and discuss tasks. For this purpose, Jira offers a variety of functions that, when used correctly, are extremely useful and allow your team to work together more efficiently. But what if your team has only recently introduced Jira or not everyone is familiar with it yet? Then it becomes necessary to first deal with the most important basics of Jira and find out about the most helpful features.
And this is exactly where our Seibert Academy comes into play, with which you can acquire this knowledge! The e-learning platform offers a wide range of learning content relating to collaboration software from Atlassian, agile methods and topics such as New Work or knowledge management. You can go through so-called learning paths – these are our recommendations as to which courses you should attend in which order in order to get ready to use certain Atlassian tools. And of course, “Your Start in Jira Data Center” is also a suitable learning path for all Jira beginners who want to get to know the basic functions and possible applications.
In this blog article we give you an overview of the learning path and introduce you to the courses it contains in more detail. By the way: If you also use Confluence Data Center, feel free to check out our blog article on the learning path “Getting started in Confluence Data Center”.
Learn the basics of Jira Data Center!
The learning path “Your Start in Jira Data Center” helps you get started easily into the world of Atlassian Jira in a total of three courses. It’s best to bring some time with you, as it takes around four hours to complete the learning path. Afterwards, you will be able to find your way around Jira perfectly as a user!
Getting started with Jira (Data Center)
Would you like a structured and complete overview of Jira Data Center? Then you are exactly right here. Our Jira expert and trainer Jan Spriestersbach will show you the most important basics – from navigation and dashboards to projects and boards and processes. Operations are small units of tasks, e.g. E.g. stories, bugs or tasks. In the Academy course you will learn how to create, edit, search and find them. You’ll also get a first look at Jira Query Language (JQL) – the most powerful and flexible way to search for issues in Jira.
Kanban-Boards in Jira Software (Data Center)
With the help of Kanban boards, everyone in your team can always see who is working on which tasks and to what extent they have already been completed. Our Jira professional Jan Spriestersbach will explain to you how to create and configure such Kanban boards in Jira. After completing the course, you will know, for example, how to create swim lanes and quick filters or configure card colors and the process detail view in Kanban boards.
The search function in Jira (Data Center)
This learning content is all about the different ways you can search for issues in Jira Data Center: In addition to the quick search, there is also the standard search with filters and the complex search using JQL. The course also includes a chapter on date fields and nested queries. One thing is certain: after you have invested the required 80 minutes in this course, you will find all the important processes in Jira!
