Program Overview

Companies using JIRA for project management have reported up to a 25% increase in team productivity due to its streamlined workflows and efficient issue-tracking capabilities. With real-time monitoring features, customizable dashboards, and intricate reports, it has now become indispensable for Agile workflows.

At Uptut, we recognize JIRA's immense utility, so we've developed a comprehensive JIRA training program. This fundamental course will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to use JIRA for effective project handling and collaboration.

This course is perfect for development teams, including admins, Scrum Masters, and developers. While admins will learn how to streamline workflows and optimize resource allocation, Scrum Masters will get to enhance their coordination of Sprints and progress tracking. Moreover, developers will become more proficient in Story and task management as well as issue tracking and resolution, boosting team productivity.

Our 100% live training includes interactive sessions and discussions, providing applicable understanding of JIRA’s features. Participants will also engage in practical exercises and work on JIRA in a live-lab environment, gaining hands-on experience.
