Description
This course walks through all the core features and functionality of Advanced Roadmaps - JIRA’s project planning and agile road-mapping tool, that is now available with Jira Premium.
The tool (previously know as the popular add-on, Portfolio) has proven to be so popular and useful, that it was taken over by Atlassian themselves, and is now included with a Jira Premium subscription on Cloud.
Advanced Roadmaps works off the iron triangle of planning which defines scope, time and resources as your primary constraints and parameters of planning. In this course, you will learn how you can find the best combination of the above to set realistic roadmaps, release dates, and overall project plans.

I have been a Product Manager at a startup for several years. With that, I've become passionate about tools that improve the work space and help startups, or any company for that matter move faster. It only made sense to share my experience, successes, even failures and general knowledge that I've gained cause I know that sharing and teaching only results in even more learning. So here's to productivity and learning.
