Jira Essentials with Agile Mindset

This 1-day instructor-led live online training course provides a solid foundation for developing an agile mindset. 

It introduces agile principles and methodologies, and uses Jira as a tool to practice agile-related concepts. This course is important because using agile processes and tools without understanding the “why” can lead to ineffective teams and processes. 

This course is designed for anyone that is new to Jira and using agile principles and methodologies.

All our Atlassian courses include access to Atlassian University’s unique hands-on labs — a safe, sandbox environment to learn the tools by using them. So you can reinforce your team's training with some muscle memory. You can continue to access labs for 24 hours after classroom time with your instructor.
