Facilitated By Ami T.

Jira has become the go-to platform for Agile teams worldwide—but are you really using it to its full potential? Whether you’re new to Agile or an experienced Scrum Master, knowing how to efficiently manage backlogs, plan sprints, and automate workflows in Jira can transform team productivity.
