The Course is good and well structured. It has really strengthened my understanding about the use of Jira, I will recommend this course to anyone who is interested in knowing more about Agile and Jira

The course is very helpful about learning how to use Jira software and also covers basics of Agile project management. It is well presented and lab assessment are at the right level for the learners.

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.

I would have provided a 5 star had it not been for the documentation that desperately needs updating. I understand it can be difficult to keep up, but when people are trying to learn a new system, they need to have the correct terminology or pathways outlined (screenshots maybe?) to understand what is being conveyed. I spent an inordinate amount of time searching for some terms that no longer exist.

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Unfortunately, some labs are outdated regarding the latest version of Jira.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

El curso te ofrece una visión general y bastante completa de los fundamentos de Scrum y Kanbam y su aplicación mediante JIRA, en lo que respetca al herramienta se pueden ver todas sus funcionalidades y su relación con Agile. Como punto a mejorar, es que las pantallas de jira son estáticas, no se navega por la herramienta lo que le resta dinamismo.

It is a very basic course on how to use Jira but is very helpful. One or two subjects could be difficult to understand when you don't have an engineering/develop profile. For me as (designer), Jira is no so much friendly, but when you start to understand how to use it, is very useful. That is why this course help me so much.

good course to get the basic knowledge of how to use Jira. I would have preferred a more realistic project to work on. even if it meant more hours, to get a basic and deeper understanding of how to use Agile in Project Management. Otherwise perfect to get to know the software and all up to date with the slides. perfect.

This course was really helpful and provided the overview I was looking for. The narration was slow and often monotone so really hard to listen to, but the instructor clearly knows what he's talking about. The labs were great and the little sub-quizzes were a good reminder to index the information as it was presented.

The course is rather good then not. But ... there is few information about Agile at all. It seems to be just a promotions of Jira. I know that is your project, but you could give more information about Agile processes and then bind it to your product. Instead of this you just teach how to work with your product.

It was a great course that shows how to implement agile methodologies using Atlassian Jira. But the content seems a little outdated. For example, the next-gen project has been renamed to a team-managed project and this change hasn't been reflected in the lab exercises. Other than that I have enjoyed this course.

Es un buen curso para aprender a usar la plataforma solo hay una cosa y es que en los ultimos módulos se complica hacer las actividades porque no están actualizados los pasos o videos entonces hay que buscar en la documentación de Atlassian para saber cómo hacer lo que se te pide, espero lo actualicen pronto.

I think the quizzes and the final assignments were a little on-the-nose with how obvious the correct answer looked compared to the distraction options, but the course does its job at giving first-timers a demonstration of the core features that will most likely be used by Scrum Masters

The contents were really insightful and topics covered really helped me brush up my knowledge in the Agile SDLC. The lab exercises helped me work on the tool and the details helped me understand some features I had not yet worked on during my projects.
Thank you Coursera!

This course is extremely helpful for the beginner; however, is probably more of a refresher for those already experienced in Jira. Additionally, certain lab readings for Day 3 and Day 4 appeared outdated and did not align with the online Jira account functionality.

Overall, brilliant, with no discrepancy between lab instructions and hands-on practice in Jira software. Some of the video lectures with Steve's narration are quite long. It would be better to break them down and also introduce more pop-quizzes at shorter intervals.

Great course at the beginning when it went over the origin of Agile and the differences between Kanban/Scrum. I was absolutely ingrained in the course when he was going over that material.
After that it mostly turned into "how to use Jira" - it was informative.

This course is perfect for someone who begins with Atlassian and Agile until week 4. Week 4 is more oriented toward creating Epic, access and mass updates. Those features are not always granted to everyone in the company so it was less appropriated to all.

I think some more theory into the use of the different issue types and also versions would have been helpful. I found myself looking outside of the course content to get more an idea on their purpose. Apart from that, a really nice intro into Jira.

This was a good course, but some of the labs were difficult to complete because the instructions didn't reference the current version of Jira. Some of the buttons/navigation has changed, so I had to do some exploring to get to the right settings.

The videos are outdated - the version seen in the videos is no longer used. However, the labs are up to date and great for practicing. I suggest going over the videos quite quickly, and spend more time on the labs to gain practical experience.

The course besides giving a good overview of Jira provides plenty of opportunity for hands on exercises. The course creates the necessity for the Learner to go online and find out more about Jira on the Jira site and from the Jira community.

It had been a while since I'd used Jira, and I had never had any formal training in using it. This course plugged the gap well allowing me to refamiliarise myself with the core features of Jira as well as informing me on best practice.
