Skills demonstrated

Creating a Jira site and a space, and choosing a key that will read well in a message to somebody else · Importing supplied work from a file, mapping the columns Jira can take and deliberately leaving out the ones it cannot · Deciding what an unknown status becomes, and being able to defend the decision · Reading and correcting a work item's fields, one by hand and the rest in bulk · Collapsing a topic spelt several ways onto one label, and finding work filed under the wrong type · Writing the question as a query — several conditions at once, absent values, and a deliberate order · Keeping a query as a filter so that it outlives the afternoon · Running work on a board through one sprint, and reading a card's column as its status · Building a dashboard whose gadgets are driven by filters, and checking a gadget against the filter it came from

What was built

A working Jira space on your own free site — the supplied work imported and corrected, a board with a started sprint, three saved filters that answer real questions, and a dashboard built on those filters. It is your site, so it is still there after the course.

The 6 sessions, and when each was completed on their own

Each session was completed twice: once with step-by-step guidance on one company’s data, then on a second company’s data from a brief, with guidance only when asked. Every check passed on both. Alongrail records the sessions, the checks and the dates; the dashboard itself is the learner’s own, hosted where they chose.
