In the course, you will explore three use cases that will help you understand what to do—and what not to do—when setting up a new instance or working with an existing one. You’ll also learn about key marketplace apps and community resources for doing advanced clean-up tasks. After this course, you’ll be ready to make informed decisions about how to set up and maintain your Jira instance.
