This course is designed with a hands-on, build-along approach where you learn JIRA Plans (Advanced Roadmaps) through guided implementation rather than theory-heavy lectures. Participate in workshops, exercises, practical labs, and simulation-based activities that mirror real workplace scenarios. Through scenario-based learning, you will practice portfolio planning, cross-team planning, dependency management, forecasting, and roadmap creation using Jira Premium. Each section focuses on implementation, allowing you to build plans from scratch, experiment with planning decisions, and apply concepts immediately. By the end of the course, you will gain practical experience that can be directly applied to real projects and enterprise environments.

The tool, formerly known as the popular add-on Portfolio, became so widely used and valued that Atlassian acquired it and integrated it directly into Jira Premium subscriptions on Cloud.

Jira Plans are incredibly useful for Agile project planning as they provide a clear overview of work across teams, enabling better resource allocation and prioritization. With features like customizable timelines, dependencies management, and capacity planning, teams can align their efforts with organizational goals while adapting quickly to changes. This helps maintain transparency and ensures that all stakeholders are on the same page throughout the project lifecycle.

Advanced Roadmaps or JIRA Plans operates on the Iron Triangle of planning, which focuses on Scope, Time, and Resources as the primary constraints and planning parameters. In this course, you’ll discover how to balance these factors effectively to create realistic product roadmaps, set achievable release dates, and develop comprehensive project plans.

Jira Plans are utilized by various roles in product development, including product managers, project managers, and Scrum Masters, to strategize and align work across teams. Development leads and team members also leverage these plans to track progress, manage dependencies, and ensure alignment with broader organizational objectives.
