Learning Jira

Is there a way to learn how to use Jira? I know there is a little tutorial, but want to take a deep dive into it.

Here is a doc where you can refer for getting started with Jira Cloud https://support.atlassian.com/jira-core-cloud/docs/get-started-with-jira-core-cloud/

I try to answer the community questions to really get into the details. Other people use jira in ways that I don't, so they ask questions about things I wouldn't necessarily do. By trying to answer the question I usually learn something new, even if I don't come up with an actual solution.

@Linda Milne_Togetha Group_ That's true, and I sometimes do the same, even if I don't get a proper solution, I learn something new in the process.

Cheers, Kevin.

@Matthew Allmendinger Welcome to community.

Do the following:

Documentation. Atlassian has excellent documentation and you can learn a lot about their products and get answers to questions there: https://confluence.atlassian.com/alldoc/atlassian-documentation-32243719.html
Take free online trainings https://www.atlassian.com/university/training
Visits Atlassian's YouTube Channel
Setup a free Jira cloud account and create projects and play around. Hands on is the best way to learn.

I really like these guides, as they walk you through everything from the basics of Jira to deep dives into Best Practices:

Jira Software guides and tutorials

Specifically if you get into Jira administration, this has some great information:

Jira Software best practices

And this is a terrific tutorial that will take you through setting up your first project, board, creating an issue and inviting your team:

But as others have said, this community is an incredible resource for helping both new and seasoned users and administrators alike. As the saying goes, "There are no dumb questions!"
