Learn to create a sprint by inviting developers, selecting backlog items, estimating tasks, and assigning them to a two‑week sprint; start the active sprint and configure board settings.

Learn how to manage a sprint in Jira by creating tickets, assigning tasks, moving through statuses from to do to in-progress and testing, and handling bugs and re-opened issues.

Close the sprint to move completed issues to release and return unfinished ones to the backlog, review the sprint chart and issue navigator, and interpret version reports.

Explore Jira reports for sprints, including the widely used chart tracking estimated work against time and the velocity chart showing completed story points per sprint, plus bugs and version reports.

Learn who should manage Jira as an admin, why admin rights matter in large teams versus small projects, and how to configure projects, issues, users, and add-ons.

Create new user accounts in Jira, assign groups such as customer, developer, and tester, manage login, switch between admin and user roles, and send email invitations for project access.
