Real Capability for Everyday Delivery
Where These Skills Take You
Jira is the standard tool for Agile delivery across Botswana's fast-growing digital economy, from software firms and banks to telecoms, mining parastatals and government teams. As the SmartBots strategy pushes digital-by-default services and banks modernise on the Bank of Botswana fintech sandbox, employers increasingly expect delivery professionals to work fluently in Jira. Roles that value these skills range from Business Analyst and Software Developer to Scrum Master, Jira Administrator and Agile Project Manager, and here is what the local market is telling us right now.

From First Board to Full Administration
In Jira training you learn to plan, track and report on work in Atlassian Jira end to end. Fundamentals covers projects, issues, Scrum and Kanban boards, filters and Agile reports, while Advanced adds workflow design, schemes, automation, dashboards, administration and integrations.
You will learn to create and configure Jira projects end to end, choosing the right project type, setting the project key, roles and access, and understanding team-managed versus company-managed projects.
Create and manage issues across Epics, Stories, Tasks, Bugs and Subtasks, using fields such as priority, assignee, labels, components and story points, and link, watch and comment to keep work moving.
Refine the backlog, estimate with story points, plan and start sprints, manage the active board with swimlanes and quick filters, then complete sprints and read the sprint report and velocity chart.
Manage continuous-flow work on the Kanban board, configure columns and WIP limits, use the Kanban backlog, and read the cumulative flow diagram to spot bottlenecks and keep delivery healthy.
Build and save filters, then move into Jira Query Language to find work precisely with fields, operators and functions such as currentUser and openSprints, and share saved searches across the team.
Turn Jira data into velocity, burndown and cumulative flow reports, and assemble team and management dashboards from gadgets so leaders get a clear, real-time view of delivery.
At Advanced level, design workflows with statuses, transitions, conditions, validators and post-functions, configure permission and notification schemes, and build no-code automation rules to remove manual work.
Manage users, groups and global settings, and integrate Jira with Confluence, Bitbucket, GitHub and CI/CD pipelines for end-to-end delivery tracking, following sound governance practice.

Confident in Jira from My First Sprint
"I joined a Scrum team straight after the Fundamentals course and could set up boards, run the backlog and manage sprints without help. The hands-on exercises on live Jira made all the difference."
Kefilwe Mokgadi
Software Developer
JQL and Reporting That I Use Daily
"The JQL and reporting sessions were exactly what I needed. I now build filters and dashboards that give the team a clear view of open bugs and flow, instead of digging through spreadsheets."
