Thank you for this, I've watched a few videos on using Jira as a Scrum Master and none of them put this concept down as simply and straightforwardly as you did, helped a lot!

[@AxZMeX]

Thanks buddy. Nice, functional and focused video!

[@YourTechHomeboy]

Needed to brush up on jira after being with ADO for 3 years. Great recap of Jira and how a SM should utilize it. Great commentary also about not allowing the team to assign stories themselves and the distinction of moving to Done vs waiting to demo. 5 stars man

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

Glad you liked it!

Thank you for a great video. The problem I have with Jira as a scrum management tool is the fact it's always pushing you to work like it's a kamban board. I have found with the teams I work with the importance of writing the tasks (some eve time estimate the task to get a more accurate sprint burndown), tasks that need to be done in order to finish a user storie. I know about subtasks but if you have a task called "Testing" or "Codereview" in the user storie and then have to move it through the borad is just awkward.

[@ag3943]

story* not storie

[@simonhuber6859]

Amazing Video, thanks!

[@ldbmarketing]

you want to size the work or tasks first before pulling the tasks into the sprint. You'll need to have an idea of how many SP's your team can complete per sprint first.

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

You could do that. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to estimate before you click on the start sprint button. Anytime before this is appropriate.

[@notsoseriousgamer755]

an awesome informative video...really needed this!

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

thanks. Let me know if there's anything I may have missed.

[@notsoseriousgamer755]

​@@ApetechTechTutorials I just got my certification last January of this year and looking to get into the Agile way of working. I truly believe in the methodology. Now, is it possible to make a more in-depth guide for a Scrum Master in using Jira? Especially for the entire 5 events of Scrum and other ways can a Scrum Master assist or help the team using Jira? Thank you!

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

@@notsoseriousgamer755 Absolutely. Stay tuned! (and subscribed!!)

great video! thanks

Hope if help you out.

[@ghostdesignstv]

10 years experience and you've never seen self organization? My devs take the tickets from the sprint they feel like they have the best knowledge on or something they want to dig deeper in to. I've only been a PO for 4 years and every team at my current org is ... well self organizing in that respect. It keeps people from being silo'd into always having specific work piled on to them and their skill sets expanding.

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

Every team is different. . . just sharing my observations from my career. I'm glad you have a team that is indeed self-organizing. I'm not arguing against them .. . just not something I commonly see in the places I work at. Maybe I should come work for you??

[@FriendlyGhostKasper]

I'm sorry if I'm being too transparent with you but if you didn't see a self-organizing team in 10 years of practice, maybe it's not that they're not able to self-organize but rather you're not providing them with enough knowledge on how to implement that approach in their day-to-day work or you're not creating an environment where self-organizing might take place?

[@Histogramas]

You gotta come to Portugal... Over my 8 years doing this SM job, almost every team element knows about everything. I NEVER assigned anything to a dev before sprint starts... they pick it as they go.. maybe it is a cultural thing... ng?

[@andrexerife]

Nice nice man but you need to level better your audio. If you want I can work in the audio post-production. Best.

[@editha7439]

I watched your video and is so interested. Please I am almost at the end of my studies to become a scrum master. I don’t know how yo use the computer. Just basic elementary. Can you hello me with this again! How to start with jir

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

I am going to be launching a Jira complete beginners course in a couple weeks. Keep an eye out for that.

[@rodvarmo]

What are the points? Effort / hours?

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

I have a dedicated video on this. But in general, it should be effort and a little bit of time taken into consideration.

[@rodvarmo]

@@ApetechTechTutorials thank you

[@vaibhavb9472]

How you have more than 3 tabs, we have one 3 tabs todo in progress and done. , how do you add these additional tabs in sprint. And what these tabs are called officially?

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

They are called Columns. They are directly tied to your workflow. If you want to add more columns, you have to add more statuses to your workflow. Hope that helps.

[@CycySaPrecieuse]

Hey Alex, good video! I needed a refresher and this video helped more than I needed. Do you have a video on how to do the Retrospective?

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

Not yet, but in the month of September, I'm going to be publishing Confluence videos and I will be discussing how to run retrospectives there.

[@CycySaPrecieuse]

@@ApetechTechTutorials we're already in September, would that be October? Or do you mean you're working on those videos this month? Either way, I'll be looking out for the videos. I sent you a request on LinkedIn. Thanks!

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

@@CycySaPrecieuse Recorded the first one this morning. More coming over the next few weeks.

[@CycySaPrecieuse]

@@ApetechTechTutorials thanks a bunch! On my way to watch.

[@subhasundar9881]

Hi Alex. Can you please explain it to me what does it mean to complete 80% of your sprint and not 100 % of it. I did not get it there. Are we supposed to finish 100 percent of the sprint in order to call it complete. please help me understand this. Thank you for teaching us.

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

It means that if you have 100 story points in your sprint, then your team should finish about 80 story points.

[@ksflyer7661]

@@ApetechTechTutorials Adding to this (let me know if I've go it wrong)........you should anticipate 20% (20 points) carrying over to the following sprint and plan accordingly. A complexity can arise in that story (say 5 points) is 70% done.....what do you do with the story point estimate as this story gets carried over?

[@MuhammadAhmad-wh7nn]

I’m facing an issue. I have created multiple stories and they are linked with each other under one EPIC Now if I move one story to sprint, other stories are still in backlog. Then I created some tasks in backlog and I am also not able to add them as a child issue under a story Can u help?

[@ApetechTechTutorials]

Every story is independent of each other (even though they are linked). So, you'll have to update each story + the Epic manually (unless you use automation rules). As far as tasks, tasks cannot be nested under a Story. You'll have to use a sub-task for that.

[@vaibhavb9472]

Why did you create user stories, ask product owner to create

[@extimez]

Kanban boards are about the flow of work. NEVER put a blocked column on your Kanban board; it's not a step in your flow of work. Jira has Flags for this.
