Jira Software Essentials 2026 | Beginner to Pro Guide

Masha Ostroumova introduces Jira through project configuration and everyday work organization. Workflows and custom fields connect with Scrum and Kanban boards, while filters, dashboards and reports help inspect progress. The course gives beginners an integrated route from creating a project to explaining how its configuration supports the team using it.

What you will learn

• Configure a Jira project and its work items.
• Compare Scrum and Kanban board arrangements.
• Use filters and reports to answer a team question.

Who this suits

No prior Jira experience is required. A computer, internet access and a Jira Cloud learning environment are needed for following the examples.

Before you enroll

The page was updated in September 2026. Jira plans and project types offer different permissions and configuration options. Check your account capabilities and compare recorded screens with the current interface.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current enrollment terms and any separate software, account or materials costs.

Put it into practice

Create a small fictional project and define the information needed to move work forward. Configure a board and filter around that purpose, then explain which report answers a useful question and which data it leaves out.
