Jira Advanced Administration Course Resources

Course Information

Who is this Course For?

In this course, we’ll focus on the configuration areas you use most. My goal is not just for you to understand the settings but to be able to make smart decisions when creating or changing them. Knowing the best way to solve a problem and how it will impact your application in the future is the difference between a good administrator and a great one.

For each section, I’ve included the most important things to know, best practices, and my personal tips so you can avoid all the mistakes I’ve made over the years. Don’t miss the challenges, quizzes, downloadable handouts, and some personal appearances scattered throughout the course.

Prerequisite

If you’re brand new to Jira, take my Jira: Basic Administration course first. The basic course covers how Jira is used, the differences between application types and deployment types, navigating the admin area, the different types of admin users, and the top skills a new admin needs. This course references information from the basic course.
