Неплохой курс для тех, кто хочет привести свои знания в какую-то упорядоченную систему.

Первая часть курса посвящена описанию того, что такое Agile. Откуда там канбан, концепции бережливого производства и что вообще такое - эта ваша гибкая разработка ПО. Здорово эту часть дополнит agile манифест и стастья на vc.ru, про agile, которую можно быстро загуглить.

Что касается второй части курса, то она посвящена уже непосредственно Jira. Поскольку в своей организации я являюсь Jira administrator, всё это я уже изучал и реализовывал на практике ранее. Если же у вас такого опыта не было, то желательно как минимум иметь доступ к функционалу создания проекта и работы в рамках него.

Снял звёздочку курсу за то, что ссылки в презентациях не активны и не доступны в текстовом описании, не говоря уже о том, что скорее всего не все они доступны ввиду того, что не все видео записаны в 2019 году, а разных релиза Jira в этом году уже по-моему минимум 2 было.

The course teaches you how to use and configure Jira. It focuses on it historical use in software development. The delivery is a PowerPoint deck of screen shots with narration in a bit of a monotone, interspersed with good exercises which the student practices on a free Jira account. The lessons would benefit from following two imaginary projects, one software and the other perhaps a marketing campaign or personal project like "developing a healthier lifestyle." The delivery would benefit from some video clips, perhaps interviews with users describing how they used different aspects of Jira in different companies. Also, skits relating to the projects (software and marketing) would show how Jira serves the needs of the project community in creating reports or highlighting problems.

Very complete course showcasing agile metodology and the Atlassian tool Jira. You get to comprehend most of the usecase of the tool and can get quite comfortable using it. Even though Jira has evolved quite a bit and can have some differences right now from the version the course uses, I would say it is totally up to date and super useful. However, I did not fully enjoy the pacing nor planning of the course. The most fun and practical learning is in the first week, then it gets rather theoretical and bland. Overall I would 100% recommend if you are looking to add a new project managing tool to your asset and you do not have much background on the topic. It is definitely a great start.

Really enjoyed learning the course. I'm completely new to all things Agile and Atlassian so it was good to dig a bit deeper and figure out how I might be able to utilise it in my day to day as a non-technical person.

Things got quite deep with the permissions and versions etc, but it's good to know the end to end for if and when you utilise Jira in a meaningful way. I loved the stuff around Kanban, Toyota's Production System and Lean / Agile. Personal preference would have been to spend more time here, but the course is Agile WITH Jira so perhaps not viable given how much functionality there in on the Atlassian platform.

Thanks Steve - enjoyed learning more on this topic.

I would've liked more project management skills baked in -- we really just used random empty text that could've just as well said 'lorem ipsum', which didn't give me a better understanding of what Jira projects actually feel like in practice or how to make them flow -- but I definitely learned a lot. I feel confident building boards and setting up teams now, and understand well how to perform (relatively simple) advanced searches in JQL. I would have preferred more work on storypoints & estimation, not just a definition of what it is. I loved the unit on Agile & Lean principles -- honestly quite inspiring.

I´m really liked it. The videos are simple and easy to understand, also the exercises. The way of learning by doing it with Free trial Jira Software is very useful. It´s perfect for staters.

Something to improve could be that some topics are not easy to understand like Jira Administrations (adding users, groups...), when this happens you feel a little lonely because you can´t ask right away to advance, instead have to wait the teachers or workmates responses to continue.

In the end, it´s perfect for staters, i have learned a lot. Thanks!

I expected to learn how to use Jira in real world situations, but instead I learned the basics about how the software works. I would recommend this course to beginners who are trying to learn what Jira is. If you already know a bit about it, do not expect much.

We certainly would have learned more if there were real world projects in the lab to give us an idea of what is like to work with Jira on a daily basis.

Other than that, it will be a big plus in your CV if you are applying for jobs that ask for "knowledge on Jira".

For beginners with no previous Agile experience or knowledge, initially you will find it little difficult but once you started watching videos on repeat mode, carefully listening what instructor is telling , you will understand everything. Also, along with videos and material you find here, you have to watch Atlassian videos which they have uploaded on their website and youtube channel , it really helps. Keep up your enthusiasm and you can definitely find this course useful. Thank you Steve Byrnes for all the work!

Overall it was a great expierence but some of the hands on excercises did not correlate with the video version of Jira. I think the last session (week 4) Settings for User/Group should be in Week 1 just to be able to add group or user with people from email discussion. Due to people on the Disussion board starting classes at different times made it very confusing of the purpose as response was from months prior or weeks. Thank you all at Atlassian for having this class to learn!

It was generally good, but the problem was it was somehow boring for me ! all the slides was really rough and not fun at all.

but the very good point was that it gives you a free account with full access to all features so that you can try it and make sure that you can experience it yourself so that you've totally learned it.

and it was a good idea that the last exercise was an overall review of the whole course with some highlighted points to remember.

Thank you Coursera !

Loved the course. Lots of great content. However problem is that course is 5 years old and Jira has evolved since then. As a result, some of the things in the videos and labs do not line up with the current release of the software. Requires a bit of digging sometimes, which may be a good thing, but can be frustrating at times. Epic link and Parent is a good example. Perhaps even a disclaimer in the intro would be helpful. Aside from that, learned a lot. Thanks!

I enjoyed the learning experience. I think it would be nice if the Save Note function in Coursera would list notes in reverse chronological order or have the option to do so. This allows a student to verify the quality of the most recent Save Note at the top of webpage while watching lectures or lessons. Otherwise one can't tell what notes are being saved without navigating to the bottom of the webpage. This is annoying while watching a lecture or lesson.

Great course overall. Practical and hands-on with just enough background on Agile/Lean/Kanban to put the use of Jira into context. Only reason I did not give this 5 stars is that some of the videos use old versions of the boards that don't keep up with some of the recent changes. Just creates a disconnect when you're trying to reference where certain functionality is based on the videos, but the current layout is different.

Most questions in Weekly assessments are either True or False. That might be revised.

Tool screens in lecture videos are different from actual screen in recent tool options. You have to find option path being discussed in topic.

Is there are possibility to add peer-reviewed tasks as in google program, that might be good option for learning and feedback.

Overall tool knowledge is well delivered.

👍🏼

I have worked with Jira before, but did not understand some things, options and settings. I thought it is really complicated system.

This course helps to understand project management terminology, Jira ideology and principles, to see Jira as a whole system, understand its structure.

Great thanks for authors.

Unfortunately, some labs are outdated regarding the latest version of Jira.

Clear explanations. My favorite aspect was the labs -- the "readings" are "labs" that you do after watching videos to practice what you've just learned. The Instructions are really clear, but test your knowledge/memory just enough that It doesn't tell you exactly how to do It. I found that most aspects took less time than the estimates (sometimes half the time, or less).

This course conveyed the necessary material to use Atlassian Jira efficiently. The videos and labs work well together, and the resources in the forums are a big help. My only issue was that it seemed like Atlassian has updated their platform, and while everything in the lessons where there, the instruction on getting to certain parts may be outdated.
