You are brand new to Jira, not sure what the product does, and word has it, there are multiple Jira products. How do you get started using Jira? How will it help you with your work and help your team collaborate? If you have these or similar questions, then this course is for you.

In this course, Jira Essentials, you’ll learn about the three Jira products: Jira Core, Jira Software and Jira Service Desk.
