Description

Hello and welcome to my very first Udemy course!

In this course, we're going to take a practical approach to learning Jira, by building a real life project that you can start using immediately and customize to your needs.

I'll show you step by step how to create the project and inspire you to explore and experiment in order to truly make it your own. Learning Jira doesn't have to be dry and theoretical. I believe that a more effective way of learning this powerful tool is by building a real life project, even from the start. Instead of trying to understand everything "in theory", how about building something that actually works and extract the learning via empiricism, not concepts.

As you follow me step by step building out this project, please don't hesitate to let me know in the comment section any question, feedback, suggestion you might have, and I'll make sure that I address each and every one of them.

Jira is a tremendously powerful and versatile tool, perhaps too powerful, versatile and complex that it can be daunting to even get started.. but it really doesn't have to be that way. It takes some time to get used to its intimidating interface and features, sure, but it can be done in a more practical way, a way that will capture and maintain your attention, a way that can provide you with a sense of satisfaction when you suddenly realize that.. "Yes I can use Jira, no doubt about that!"
