From this short lecture you will learn how to maximize your learnings from this course

This and following lectures music credits: Bensound

Even if you already have a Jira set up in your organization, you will need a test Jira to try out new things and practice. You will also learn what how to select the right Jira plan for your team and what to consider when setting up your first project

From this lecture you will learn about one of the most important tools of a Jira admin - user groups. This is a simple yet powerful tool which would allow you to easily control projects and boards access even in a large organization with  hundreds of Jira projects!

Just like users can be gathered in groups, projects can be gathered in categories. In this lecture we will learn how to create categories, assign projects to categories and why we need to do it.

From this lecture you would learn everything you need to know when setting up a new project for a team

In this lecture I will work you through all the available project settings and we will discuss which settings can be controlled by a project lead vs. settings only Jira admin can control

This lecture is for those who have not used components and fix versions before. You don't have to be a Jira admin to manage those, but as a a Jira admin you would need to know what they are, how they work and when they should be used.

In this lecture we will discuss a few different  approaches to permissions management - system settings, project permissions and project roles.

Before we dive into the world of Jira customization, I would like to share a few pieces of advice to make sure you set your Jira up in the best way possible!

From this lecture you will learn how to plan your workflow, what to consider, how to build a workflow, publish it and assign to project through workflow shemes.

From this lecture you will learn how to customize your custom workflow even further using triggers, conditions, validators and post-functions.

In this lecture we will create a custom field and set up context and default values

In this lecture we will refresh our knowledge about the general concept of JQL (Jira Query Language) and the importance of it

This lecture will help you to systematize your knowledge about basic Jira search and the structure of simple JQL queries. We will also look into ways we can manipulate the search results.

From this lecture you will learn how to search for issues based on people-related fields (assignee, reporter etc) - how to find the issues people are assigned to now or were assigned before, or how to filter issues assigned to a group

From this lecture you will learn how to filter issues based on current and past statuses

In this lecture we will discuss different types of links in Jira and see how we can find issues based on link types and linked issues.

In this lecture I am going to cover different queries related to time. How would you for recently updated issues? Or for the issues which are going to be due in 5 days?

From this lecture you will learn how to write complex queries consisting of multiple parts and how to refer to other saved filters in your queries

In this lecture I will share a few possible hacky solutions to a common problem. A lot of Jira users find the 3 levels of hierarchy (epics, issues and subtasks) to be not enough. You will learn 2 ways of grouping epics together and filtering out issues linked to these epics. In other words, we will create an extra quasi-level of hierarchy while still being able to query all its children. We will also install a ScriptRunner app and see how it works

In this lecture we will prepare our filters to be used for creating Jira boards and dashboards

This section covers the common tools each team uses on daily basis and the things you need to know about these tools as a Jira admin

In this lecture we will deep-dive into the Scrum board - all its settings, specifics and common issues that teams come to admins with

In this section we will review the Kanban board (and also Active sprint board) and look into settings that make team's life much easier

In this lecture we will discuss the process of setting up dashboards. I will share some of my favorite widgets and we will look into some important settings and principles.

In this lecture I will walk you through the roadmap tool and explain how to use it (or coach the team to use it) and what is the general logic of Jira roadmaps

In this lecture we will look into some of Jira reports and charts through admin's eyes. You will learn how reports are linked to the board settings and why we need to use story points to get the most out of Jira

In this lecture we will continue talking about story points: what are story points, how they are used and what kind of visualization and reporting they support

In this lecture I will walk you through a real-life scenario (that I totally made up :) ) and we are going to set up a project from scratch for an HR team which has strict requirements to the privacy settings and approval process

In this section we will look into a few tools additional that might not be a part of standard Jira admin toolkit, but would allow you to step up your game

In this lecture we will set up an automation for HR project and see how we can create subtasks automatically

In this lecture we will take a look at Confluence - another Atlassian tool that integrates nicely with Jira and allows you to store documentation

In this lecture we will go over the system settings and see what are the additional settings options a superadmin has

In this lecture we will go over a couple of possible ways to integrate Slack - Jira's native integration and plugins
