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.

STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE:

Introduction and setup – Set up Jira Premium and understand the different versions of Roadmaps available.
Sample Plan – Set up a project with sample data, create a plan for it and get our first look at the Advanced Roadmaps interface. This section will also take our first high-level look at the functionality
Main Project Plan – We will use a made-up product and create the development plan for it. We will revisit the functionality we already saw in the first section and get more practice with it.
