Bring your own training and Atlassian University courses *directly* into Jira 🤠

G’day Training & Certification group!

Jaime from Atlassian University here. Ever thought about what it would be like to learn Jira from inside Jira?

If you hit a roadblock, you don’t have to search for the solution on Google or YouTube.

You can ‘unstick’ yourself right when you need it.

Like it…or love it?

Then let me tell you about Training for Jira! It’s a Marketplace app we developed at Atlassian University to make it easier for team members to learn in context and team leads to gain insight into training. (Training for Jira is available for both Cloud and Data Center.)

Training for Jira integrates courses into the Jira Apps menu – not only Atlassian University courses, but your own custom training as well.

You can quickly find relevant courses with the product, duration, and difficulty level you need. Then you or your team can train asynchronously right when they need to.

That means you don’t have to leave Jira to get trained in Jira (or related products).

And if you’re a team lead, Training for Jira offers even more to train your entire organization.

Training for Jira can help team leads train on Jira at scale. Here's how:

1. Upload your own training in addition to University training—viewable by employees all in one place
2. Assign uploaded and/or Atlassian University training to all users who need it
3. Track progress and completion of the training by team member with a birds-eye view

How team leads can use Training for Jira

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide for popular features in Training for Jira. For more detailed instructions, get the Training for Jira Administration Guide along with the most up-to-date documentation at the Marketplace.

 

🎓 Atlassian University training at the right place & right time

The app integrates official Atlassian University courses created by Jira and Confluence experts — covering popular user topics and tasks, and showcasing in-product demos. Have a look at what your team sees in the catalog:

Your team can also access training for popular Atlassian Marketplace apps. You’ll find A Tempo Timesheets Primer, eazyBI Reports and Charts for Jira, and more! Here’s what the course search filter looks like:

 

 

💡 Put your own custom training right at your team’s fingertips

Your team will learn how your organization, specifically, uses Jira—or about any other topic on which you need to train. Whether you’ve created a video or a SCORM package, you can easily upload both. Here’s how:

 

You can add a course from the main page or the Course catalog page.
Add information about your course and upload an MP4 video or SCORM package.
You can add multiple modules if needed. When you’re ready, press Publish. Your course will be available in the catalog!

 

📨 New! Put your most important courses front and center

The latest version lets you assign courses directly to your team(s). 😲 Here’s how:

 

Select ‘Assign courses to users’ (visible only to admins). You can also assign individual courses directly from the catalog page.
Create assignments by selecting courses + user groups. You can assign multiples of each!
Then users get an email with their assignment(s)!

 

🔍 Quickly see your whole team’s learning progress

Track progress and completions by team member with a bird’s-eye view. You’ll know the most popular courses and sticking points.

 

It really is free for 30 days to see how you like it. And again, the app is available for both Cloud and Data Center Jira Software products.

Happy Learning!

p.s. What would you assign first to your team or other teammates? (Either University courses or your own custom strategic training?) Let me know in the comments.

That's really cool thanks @Jaime Netzer!  Personally I think Jira & Confluence fundamentals would be the first two courses I would want added so that people can be taught the basics before they start using the products.
