    What Is Jira and Why Learn It in New Zealand?Your Practical Guide to Agile Delivery

    The JIRA Training is a practical, hands-on course that builds the skills to use Atlassian Jira confidently for Agile project management, issue tracking and team delivery. Jira, developed by Atlassian, is the world's most widely used tool for planning, tracking and releasing work across Scrum and Kanban teams. This JIRA training in New Zealand is available at two levels. Fundamentals runs over two days and suits people who are new to Jira, covering project creation, the Epic, Story, Task, Bug and Subtask hierarchy, Scrum and Kanban boards, sprints, roadmaps, filters, basic JQL and Agile reports. Advanced runs over three days for experienced users, covering custom workflows, permission and notification schemes, custom fields, advanced JQL, dashboards, automation, DevOps integrations and Jira administration. Rather than working toward a formal qualification, you build capability through live exercises in a real Jira environment, and you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. With New Zealand teams across Auckland and Wellington running Agile delivery on Jira, these skills apply directly on the job from day one.

    What Our Learners Say

    Confident in Jira from Week One

    "I joined a team that ran everything in Jira and felt lost. After the Fundamentals course I could create issues, run our sprint board and read the burndown without asking for help. The hands-on exercises made it click."

    Liam Whitcombe

    Software Developer

    Advanced Skills I Use Every Day

    "The Advanced course changed how I run our boards. Learning workflows, schemes and automation meant I could finally set Jira up the way our team actually works, instead of fighting the defaults."

    Scrum Master

    JQL and Dashboards Finally Make Sense

    "As a business analyst I now write my own JQL and build dashboards for stakeholders. The reporting section alone was worth the training. Practical, clear and grounded in real scenarios."

    Business Analyst

    Consistent Delivery Across Our Squads

    "We trained two delivery squads together onsite. Within a sprint our boards were consistent, our reporting was cleaner and handovers stopped stalling. The tailored exercises using our own projects made all the difference."

    Standardised Jira Across Our Programme

    "We needed our teams on the same Jira standards before scaling a digital programme. The corporate training covered administration and automation for our admins and everyday skills for our users. Coordination and support were excellent."

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    The JIRA Training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to use Atlassian Jira for Agile project management, issue tracking and team delivery. It runs at two levels, Fundamentals over two days for new users and Advanced over three days for experienced users, with live exercises throughout.

    General

    What is the JIRA Training course?

    The JIRA Training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to use Atlassian Jira for Agile project management, issue tracking and team delivery. It runs at two levels, Fundamentals over two days for new users and Advanced over three days for experienced users, with live exercises throughout.

    Who should take Jira training?

    It suits developers, testers, Scrum Masters, project managers, business analysts, product owners, DevOps engineers and Jira administrators. Anyone in New Zealand who plans, tracks or reports on work in Jira will gain practical, on-the-job skills.

    Do I need prior experience to learn Jira?

    No. The Fundamentals level assumes no prior Jira knowledge, and basic familiarity with Agile or project work helps but is not required. The Advanced level expects hands-on Jira experience or completion of Fundamentals first.

    Is Jira training worth it in New Zealand?

    Yes. Jira is the standard delivery tool across New Zealand's software, IT and public sector teams, and roles that use it, such as Scrum Master and DevOps engineer, command strong salaries. In a tight tech market, practical Jira capability is a real advantage.

    Should I choose Jira Fundamentals or Advanced?

    Choose Fundamentals if you are new to Jira or use it occasionally. Choose Advanced if you already work in Jira and want to master workflows, schemes, automation, integrations and administration. You can take them independently or in sequence.

    Pricing

    How much does JIRA training cost in New Zealand?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a current quote for public or corporate sessions, and ask about upcoming batches.

    What is included in the training fee?

    Your enrolment includes instructor-led sessions, hands-on Jira exercises, structured courseware and learning resources, and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Contact us to confirm inclusions for your chosen format.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. Corporate and group training comes with volume-based pricing and schedules tailored to your team. Request a group quote to train your team together and standardise how you work in Jira.

    Are payment or instalment options available?

    We accept major cards and bank transfers, and instalment options are available on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Is Jira software licensing included in the fee?

    Jira is an Atlassian product with a free tier for up to ten users and paid Cloud and Data Center plans. Training focuses on using Jira, so confirm whether a shared training environment is provided when you enrol.

    Assessment

    How is the Jira training assessed?

    There is no formal test. You build skills through hands-on exercises and configuration activities in a real Jira environment throughout the course, so you learn by doing and can apply the skills straight away.

    Do I get a certificate after the Jira training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning once you finish the programme. It recognises the practical Jira skills you have built at Fundamentals or Advanced level.

    Will I be job-ready after the course?

    Yes. The course is built around real Agile delivery scenarios, so you finish able to create projects, run Scrum and Kanban boards, write JQL and report on delivery. These are skills you can use on the job immediately.

    Does this course lead to a formal qualification?

    No. This is a skills-focused training course, not a qualification programme. It builds practical, on-the-job Jira capability and provides a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning.

    How do you practise during the training?

    You follow along in a live Jira environment as the trainer demonstrates each feature, then complete guided exercises using realistic project and delivery scenarios so the skills stick.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Jira course cover?

    Fundamentals covers projects, the issue hierarchy, Scrum and Kanban boards, sprints, roadmaps, versions, filters, basic JQL and Agile reports. Advanced covers custom workflows, schemes, custom fields, advanced JQL, dashboards, automation, integrations and Jira administration.

    What will I learn in Jira Fundamentals?

    You will create and configure Jira projects, manage the Epic, Story, Task, Bug and Subtask hierarchy, run sprints on the Scrum board, use the Kanban board with WIP limits, plan releases with versions, write basic JQL and read velocity and burndown reports.

    What does Jira Advanced cover?

    Advanced covers custom workflows with conditions, validators and post-functions; permission, notification, screen and field schemes; custom fields; advanced JQL; dashboards; automation rules; integrations with Bitbucket, GitHub and CI/CD; and Jira administration.

    Is the Jira training hands-on?

    Yes. Both levels are delivered with live Jira exercises using realistic Agile delivery scenarios, so you practise every feature as you learn it rather than just watching demonstrations.

    Which version of Jira does the course use?

    The course focuses on Jira Software, primarily Jira Cloud, with Data Center differences noted where relevant. The skills apply across the current Jira deployments used by New Zealand teams.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the Jira course?
