Project Manager learning Jira

[Don Cole]

I applied for a project manager position and the requisition said that Jira experience preferred. I had never heard of it so I am here to learn about it and perhaps use it on a smaller personal project or two so I will be ready to go if called upon.

Hello @Don Cole,

Welcome to the Community!

I'd recommend checking out Atlassian University's Free Training Catalog:
https://university.atlassian.com/student/catalog/list?category_ids=21734-free-training&difficulty=1

There are a number of great things there to get you started.

Also, if you are looking to ask people about specific questions, you might want to head over to the Jira Product Collection.

There are tons of very friendly people here that are happy to help!

Welcome @Don Cole 

@Jimmy Seddon  has great suggestions. You will also want to setup a free cloud instance of Jira to play around in and get your feet wet. Good luck!

Hello and Welcome, Don!

We are glad you are here!!

[Carlos Garcia Navarro]

Welcome @Don Cole ! Great suggestions here! Good luck with the job application, and in any case, I'd recommend to keep learning Jira and other Atlassian tools, as many companies rely on them, and may/will expect some level of familiarity or expertise.
