JIRA: manage team effectively

Log in to Jira with a Google account, name your company, and create a test project for software development. Open the project URL and click get started to begin.

Explore the JIRA elements overview, including the header for switching projects and issues and creating projects or issues, dashboard timeline and calendar, board, and project settings for filters and customization.

A Jira board visually organizes issues in a project, displaying columns to do, in progress, and done, supporting agile methods such as Scrum or Kanban with tickets moving between columns.

Explore configuring Jira boards, creating Kanban boards within a project, and setting up columns such as testing and in progress while managing admins and later filters.

Learn how to configure Jira boards with swimlanes, including horizontal rows filtered by priority and the expedite lane, and tailor quick filters, card color, layout, working days, and timeline.

Create and configure Jira tickets by filling mandatory fields and selecting task types. Assign teams and users, add labels, link related issues, and set timelines with parent and child relationships.

Explore Kanban and Scrum boards in Jira, set up columns and backlogs, and plan sprints with original time estimates and time tracking to optimize team workflow.

Scrum suits projects with an iterative scope and a backlog, allowing planning for one to two week sprints. Kanban suits fast-paced work without a large backlog, enabling immediate ticket selection.

Explore Jira workflows as a sequence of actions for each ticket, demonstrating how to create a kanban workflow with statuses like to do, in progress, testing in progress, and done.

Explore how to create, save, and manage filters in Jira using JQL, switch to basic mode, and build queries like project equals website dev and priority not in low, lowest.

Apply quick filters in a JIRA Kanban board to show middle and higher priority issues, using a JPQL query configured within the project board to hide lowest priorities.

Learn how to perform bulk changes in Jira by selecting multiple issues, editing fields like original estimate, moving to another project, and transitioning through workflows.

Learn how to create and manage releases in Jira, assign tasks to a version, track progress on the timeline, and mark items as released to production.

Set up project automation to reset remaining time to zero when an issue moves from in progress to done, and use audit logs to debug and apply rules across projects.

Use Jira workflow automation to apply inbound automation across multiple projects with a single workflow, enabling transitions from todo to in progress and updating issue fields and descriptions.

Explore how to access Jira reports, focusing on burndown charts and the cumulative flow diagram to track tickets in progress and done in kanban, and identify bottlenecks.

Create and customize Jira dashboards to monitor what matters, add gadgets such as pie charts and filters, track high-priority tickets, and view issues assigned to you for daily follow-up.

Explore advanced configuration by adding custom fields like a user picker to track an additional assignee, and apply them across all issue screens with automation rules.
