A must-have skill in software development is understanding agile methodologies and using tools that apply those methods. The problem is that there are many Agile methods and many tools. Whichever methodology and tool you select, it is critical that you learn and use them well, if you want to excel as a software developer or leader of software development teams. Selecting an agile methodology depend on many factors, but if you choose Scrum or Kanban as a methodology, we recommend using JIRA Agile as the tool to implement Scrum and Kanban.

There is much to learn when adopting a methodology and a tool, which is why we offer JIRA Agile training. We offer a live, instructor-led course on how to use JIRA Agile (and specifically how to apply Scrum and Kanban in JIRA Agile), which is one of our most popular courses. Live courses are great because you can ask the instructor questions to clarify points. But it is not always easy to fit a live course into a busy schedule, so we created a self-paced version of our JIRA Agile training course. Not only can you take this course at your own pace and on your own time, it is priced at less than half the price of our live course. So this course is also a great value.

If you want to beef up your Scrum and Kanban skills, but do so in the context of a powerful tool that will help you implement Agile the right way, you should sign up for our JIRA Agile eLearning course.
