What You Gain from Hands-On Jira Skills
For Everyday Agile Delivery
For Individuals
This training helps you move from occasional Jira user to confident practitioner. You learn to plan, track and report on work the way modern Agile teams do, using boards, sprints, filters and reports that make delivery clear. Whether you are a developer joining a Jira team, a Scrum Master facilitating sprints, or a business analyst managing a backlog, the course builds capability you can apply immediately in your day-to-day role.
If you want practical, in-demand skills that New Zealand software, IT and public sector teams value, hands-on Jira proficiency is a clear step forward. You finish able to configure Jira, run Agile delivery and support your team without waiting on others.
- Use Jira confidently from day one to create projects, manage issues and track work
- Run Scrum sprints and Kanban boards that keep your team's delivery visible and on track
- Write JQL queries and build filters to find and report on work in seconds
- Configure workflows, boards and dashboards that fit how your team actually works
- Automate repetitive Jira tasks to save time and reduce manual errors
- Stand out to New Zealand employers who list Jira as a core tool in Agile and IT roles
- Apply skills across Scrum Master, business analyst, project manager and Jira admin roles
- Progress from Fundamentals to Advanced Jira administration at your own pace
For Organizations
Group Jira training helps organisations get more from the tool their teams already rely on. By building consistent skills across developers, testers, Scrum Masters and administrators, teams plan and report delivery the same way and waste less time on rework. Training can be delivered for a single squad, a department, or teams across multiple sites, using your own Jira projects and workflows during exercises.
If your Jira instance has grown faster than your team's skills, structured training creates a shared way of working. Teams gain cleaner boards, better reporting and stronger in-house administration, so delivery stays visible and predictable.
- Standardise how teams plan, track and report delivery in Jira
- Improve sprint predictability with consistent board and workflow practice
- Reduce Jira configuration sprawl through shared administration standards
- Onboard new developers and testers into your Jira way of working faster
- Connect Jira to Bitbucket, GitHub and CI/CD for end-to-end delivery visibility
- Tailor training to your own projects, workflows and schemes
- Build in-house Jira administration capability instead of relying on outside support
- Strengthen Agile delivery consistency across teams and business units

What Our Learners Say
Confident in Jira from Week One
"I joined a team that ran everything in Jira and felt lost. After the Fundamentals course I could create issues, run our sprint board and read the burndown without asking for help. The hands-on exercises made it click."
Liam Whitcombe
Software Developer
(5/5)
Advanced Skills I Use Every Day
"The Advanced course changed how I run our boards. Learning workflows, schemes and automation meant I could finally set Jira up the way our team actually works, instead of fighting the defaults."
Aroha Ngata
Scrum Master
(5/5)
JQL and Dashboards Finally Make Sense
"As a business analyst I now write my own JQL and build dashboards for stakeholders. The reporting section alone was worth the training. Practical, clear and grounded in real scenarios."
Priya Sharma
Business Analyst
(4/5)
Consistent Delivery Across Our Squads
"We trained two delivery squads together onsite. Within a sprint our boards were consistent, our reporting was cleaner and handovers stopped stalling. The tailored exercises using our own projects made all the difference."
Daniel Fletcher
IT Delivery Manager, Financial Services
(5/5)
Standardised Jira Across Our Programme
"We needed our teams on the same Jira standards before scaling a digital programme. The corporate training covered administration and automation for our admins and everyday skills for our users. Coordination and support were excellent."
