Is there any training on Gant Chart/Plan functionality in JIRA. 
I was told that in JIRA you can prepare a project plan in a similar way as in ms project. ~
I think the current function for that is "Plans" however I can't access that as I am only using a free licence of JIRA. But I would like to learn how that works at lease from theoretical perspective.

@Karolina Probierz Jira Plans works in a similar way to Microsoft Project, but has some pros & cons.
Jira Plans does not allow you to create Baselines, and doesn't allow for resource capacity planning. I find adding Dependencies is more complicated in Jira Plans.
Jira is more adapted to Agile, whereas MS Project is more suitable for Waterfall. 

There is some online training available here, that might give you some more insight:

 Hi @Karolina Probierz 

Jira Standard offers the Timeline view for a single space.

Jira Premium offers Plans for multi-space planning and tracking.
