Learning options from Jira Align

[#1]

In my experience as a Solution Architect for Jira Align, there always seems to be an ongoing client "thirst" for more knowledge from Atlassian learning materials.  Strong content can of course help accelerate your enablement process and help maintain understanding in the face of that inevitable user turnover from time to time.  Efforts continue to improve with new options like the Agile @ Scale Solution Guide in Success Central.  

Here is an unofficial summary of our Jira Align learning "suite" from various content sources, created as a raw Framework Map.  The sample shared is a portal to locations that may help your users with different learning styles gain a better understanding of where more information can be obtained on-demand.  

I've included a sample image below, as well as Title, Description, & URL sections in case you find that helpful to use in a Confluence Page, Framework Map, etc.  You may want to build your own version if there are other sources that you've found useful.  

The reality is that user learning Agile @@ Scale concepts and the Jira Align platform can go quite deep and wide.  In the face of more limited client time for focused training sessions and the continued shift to online meetings, this makes the learning curve more challenging for most.  Bringing in assistance from an Atlassian Partner can help mitigate the risks, especially when organizational change is often required in conjunction with rolling out Jira Align

Although "heavy" custom client configurations may require your own personalized internal documentation, there is a wealth of standard Jira Align reference material that can be helpful for the user community if following general common terminology.

@Rob Phillips Does point 7 (Built-In Training Simulations) miss links to videos?

[Rob Phillips]

Hi @Federica Marchetti ,  the Built-In Training Simulations (aka "Checklist") videos do all pull from https://static.jiraalign.com,  but I intentionally did not include that since the URL doesn't offer a landing navigation.  Instead, users can just access those videos from directly within their instance.  I tried to show that on the Framework Map image for #7, but to clarify here is how you can access...

@Rob Phillips Thanks!
