Jira Administration (Part 1)

Get hands-on experience performing the administration tasks common to Jira Work Management, Jira Software and Jira Service Management.

Here you learn the most important tasks to set up a new Jira instance (Jira Software, Jira Work Management or Jira Service Management). You get hands-on experience performing the administration tasks that are common to all three Jira applications.

Should Cloud customers take this course? It depends. What you learn applies to Jira Cloud, however there are some differences — on the Cloud platform user and group management has moved to Site Administration, the course does not cover next-gen projects, and the UI and navigation differ from the Cloud product. If you are comfortable with these differences, you will benefit from taking this course.

Topics include a solid introduction to user management, global and project permissions, project roles, and the configuration of issue types, workflows and screens. You also learn how to share project configuration using the power of schemes. The course includes a variety of business use cases, and best practices are emphasised for each topic.
