Started my internship and they want to start using JIRA, never touched it, and now i feel confident with it! extremely knowledgeable about it, thank you.
correction: story points aren't how important the task is to complete. Instead they are units of measure for expressing an estimate of the overall effort required to complete that task. Notably, the Team assigns the points and not the PM! hope this helps
This is true. It's great when you do the sprint plan and have everyone estimate out the story points together. When one person thinks 8 and another person thinks 2, there's a chance that the person who thinks a task is 8 realizes an obstacle in the story the person who thinks 2 does not see.
This is great. I'm a coordinator for a non-project organization and want to get into project management. Hearing about different software, agile, scrum, etc can be intimidating but this video helps put some things into perspective. Can't wait to learn more!
This guy does an excellent job for introductory information to JIRA. I spent the better pat of the day trying to figure out the lay of the land in JIRA compared to DevOps and was having more trouble than necessary until I came across this video by Stewart Gauld. I highly recommend watching this from start to end. Looking forward to a next level video from him as well. Thanks......... Great job Stewart!!!
Hello, thank you so much for this! I have worked with JIRA for over 3 years and now I am ready to dive back in and this was so informative. Thanks again
correction: the Product Owner isn't the Project manager. Instead, the Scrum master is essentially the Project manager (in Scrum) or team facilitator.. and is there to "facilitate" and not direct or manage! as agile teams are self-empowered! Hope this helps!
Hi Stewart, I was at lost as I worked as Project Manager for 3 years already but my former company doesn't want to use modern project management tools. Been having a hard time finding work as they all require JIRA mostly, thank you for this wonderful, short and very clear explanation. will be having fun exploring JIRA based from your fundamentals, you made my day brother! keep it up!!!
What a great and practical video Stewart, yet listening about Scrum roles (aka accountabilities) there seem to be some inaccuracies which might confuse viewers and give them a wrong perception of Scrum concepts (eg. there is no hierarchy in Scrum). Given the video topic it might be not a big deal but at the same time proper statements that correspond the Scrum Guide could be of an additional help to those who listen :) B.R!
this was really helpful. I've been learning Jira on Udemy and 've spent so many hours watching videos. I got frustrated and decided to go on UA-cam and I stumbled on your video and watching your video has taught me a whole lot more than all the videos I watched on Udemy. THANK YOU!
seriously Thanks for this. I was trying to learn this during a work presentation and was so lost with they way they explained it. Once again...UA-cam to the rescue. :)
I've been using ADO for a few years and needed an overview of Jira that my new client uses. This is super clear and detailed enough to give me exactly what I needed. Thanks Stewart (ADO uses the term Item Type instead of Issue - which as a PM is much better as who wants lots of Issues on the project :) )
Thank you, Stewart. In my new role, they wanted JIRA. And I am almost done with the knowledge. I will practice hard and crack the interview. Thank you!!!!!!
This is a good demonstration of the tool, but has concerning misinformation. (1) Feature is NOT the same as User Story. (2) Story Points are NOT "how important this story is to complete". Those statements are fundamentally wrong.
@@MGE0007 Either Atlassian Jira or Azure DevOps. Jira used to be the only solid player in the field (Rational Clear Case and Microsoft Team Foundation Server both worked well for source control but fell short in terms of work management. In the past 5-7 years, though, Microsoft has improved by leaps and bounds and has effectively closed the gap with Jira. If you prefer to work from a board and manage your items with that visualization, Jira is still the clear winner. I personally prefer the query view that Azure DevOps provides, so that is what I generally use but it is purely a personal preference.
@@JasonDziukACE Hey thanks for the quick feedback. I have not delved deeply into Jira...used Asana recently and before that I was a slave to MS Project!!!...
This is a good point and just in case anyone wishes to know what they are... EPIC = collection of stories STORY = collection of tasks TASK = small bits of work to complete the story STORY POINTS = how long you think it'll take to complete (normally using the Fibonacci sequence) VELOCITY = number of points your team can complete in a given sprint
I have recently changed my job, and in my new Company we are completely agile. Your video has helped me a lot to understand the commonly used terminologies and methodologies in agile way of working.
Useful starter but there's lots of things missing for a complete novice. It does't tell you that you have to enable "Backlog" for example when you first sign up. After creating the first epic, the "story" option doesn't appear in the list when creating a new issue until you go into project settings and enable it. Story points isn't there by default in the story view. Create subtask isn't there by default either. None of this is covered, so I had to use Google a lot to wade through this.
I took project management course before, and also familiar with simpler project management software. But this video complete my understanding under 30 minutes. Big thank you for that.
Thanks for this overview of jira :) However, the part of explaining agile methologies/words etc has mistakes, so please just use this video only for understanding jira NOT FOR UNDERSTANDING AGILE!
It's funny that I used Jira at a past job, and we didn't use the full functionality that he described and I didn't realize that I was using agile methodologies and Scrum. Now I have a clear explanation, which I never got at my past job, on how to use Jira.
Honestly I have saw so many videos and didn't understood anything. All I want to know was in this video on point 🔥. Very helpful and simple to understand video. Keep going 🔥
Amazing tutorial! I was using jira for a few years, but it was not clean for me. Now I know the roles and the meaning of the Jira lingo. Thank you Stewart!
Thank you so much Stewart. This was very helpful as I am new to Jira. I am on the job market for a Scrum Master job and I realized Jira is a requirement for most companies
Hey Stewart .. the spotlight...I was talking about.....plz have a look at Power BI video of Kevin Stratvert... you both have a very good style of explaining... sinks into the brain.
Thanks for sharing this video, love the presentation style. My only comment is that some of the references here to Agile and JIRA are probably not in-line, remember most of the time we have to fit into the JIRA mould but Agile broadly is done very very differently, either pragmatically or by the 'book;
First of all great thanks Stewart! You made it much easier to understand the concepts. I wish you could have added more details about the story points, Epic and daily scrum.
This is like Project Management on Steroids! You make it look so simple and straightforward. Thanks! Do you have a project management video? I can't imagine what that would be like.
thanks Stewart for this Jira introduction which to be honest I really watched to learn the terminology having been in Programme and Project Management for quite a while now. May I gently pick you up on your occasionally mixing in the term 'Project Owner' in your commentary and one on-screen message when the SCRUM term is 'Product Owner'? Keep up the good work!

Thanks for that. Updating this tutorial soon.
@@StewartGauld Found this tutorial super helpful. Out of curiosity, how did you arrive at story points indicating level of importance
@@StewartGauldis the update available?
This is true. It's great when you do the sprint plan and have everyone estimate out the story points together. When one person thinks 8 and another person thinks 2, there's a chance that the person who thinks a task is 8 realizes an obstacle in the story the person who thinks 2 does not see.
Yep, immediate downvote when I saw this. You can't teach Jira properly if you don't know the fundamentals of Agile.

Hi John! Thanks mate, I appreciate the kind words. I’m glad you got value.
Thanks for the vid! I'm applying for a position with a company that uses Jira, so this will give me an edge in my interview.

It might also be helpful to understand the hierarchy of "issues"
Epic > Feature > User story > Task
Hope this helps!
Thanks
How would you describe a feature as compared to a US?

@Jason Dziuk.. what project management tool do you use to support agile development.?
