Course introduction1:43
In this video we'll learn about the project for this course.
Our first step to updating Jira4:05
In this video we'll get a better idea of the scenario for our project.
Our real-world scenario5:08
Overview of our solution4:47
Set up Jira boards for dev and QA teams, using a Scrum board for dev sprints and a Kanban board for QA, with a single point of contact per issue.

Creating a new agile board4:07
In this video we'll start our project by creating a new agile board.
Adjusting our board's filter6:44
Adding new columns2:27
Create a new column named sent to qa in the jira board using board settings to auto-map a status under the simplified workflow, triggering issues to qa.
Working without a simplified workflow10:59
In this video we'll create some custom statuses that we'll need for our board.
Building the QA team board6:52
Build a QA team kanban board from the dev project, filter to show only bugs, and map statuses so 'send to QA' appears in the QA to-do column.
Creating a new status4:03
Adding statuses to our QA board9:59
Adjusting the 'Done' statuses7:39
Adjust the 'Done' statuses across dev and QA boards by moving issues through in progress to QA approved, then hide those statuses to keep the boards clean.
Understanding our team setup2:44
In this video we'll take a moment to understand how the teams are set up in our scenario, so we'll have a better idea of how they need to communicate with each other through JIRA.
Auto-assigning issues to our QA team7:31
Auto-assigning issues back to our dev team5:05
Automate Jira workflows to auto assign issues between qa and dev; set assignee to Christian when qa sends back and to Josie when dev sends to qa.
Optional: Adding color cards4:17
Use Jira color cards to visually mark bugs that return from QA as red by applying a custom query like status='QA needs fixes', across dev and QA boards.
