How Jira is organised?
When you're first getting started with Jira the terms you hear can be confusing, what is an 'issue', what is a 'project' and how do they all fit together? This video is the perfect place to start explaining how Jira is set-up and hopefully clear up some of that confusion.
How to create Issues in Jira
Now you know what a Jira project is and what an issue is, let's see what it looks like in practice. Jira allows you to create and work with issues that represent your real life tasks. This video covers how to create these issues and how to add them to your projects.
How to Edit issues in Jira
Once Issues are set up, you can interact with them! There are many ways to work with your Issues in Jira. This video covers ways you can manage issues, including editing issues and logging work.
How to use workflows and functions as a Jira user
In Jira, workflows drive the progress of issues from status to status and provide your organisation with information on where an issue may be in its lifecycle. In this video, we introduce workflows and workflow functions–what they are, how they work, and how to use them.
Use and manage notifications in Jira
You know the notifications you get on your phone? Well Jira sends notifications when actions happen in the system in just the same way, for example, when someone updates or changes an issue. In this video we walk-through how notifications work in Jira and how you can manage them and make them work for you.
