When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Jira Automation and App Selection is a beginner-level course designed for IT professionals, system administrators, and project managers who want to unlock the full potential of their Jira instance. In today's fast-paced environments, manual record updates and poorly chosen apps can create significant bottlenecks and risks. This course provides a direct solution by teaching you how to automate bulk updates safely and select third-party apps with confidence.

You will learn to construct and execute REST API calls using Postman to manage large-scale data changes efficiently, ensuring data integrity every step of the way. You will also master a structured due diligence process, learning how to deconstruct project needs into a clear evaluation scorecard to compare and analyze marketplace apps. Through hands-on activities based on real-world scenarios, such as managing release backlogs and choosing between major project management plugins, you will build a practical toolkit for optimizing Jira. By the end of this course, you will not only be able to perform these critical job tasks but also defend your technical and strategic decisions to stakeholders.
