Is your team's project performance hard to interpret? Do you struggle to communicate progress to leadership in a way that is clear and compelling? Evaluate Metrics, Craft Dashboards for Jira Mastery is your guide to turning raw Jira data into meaningful insights that improve transparency and decision-making.

In this course, designed for project managers, scrum masters, and team leads, you will learn to analyze essential agile metrics—such as sprint velocity and cycle time—to uncover workflow issues and recommend targeted improvements. You will also gain the skills to design effective Jira dashboards, choosing the right KPIs and visualizations to give executives quick, actionable visibility into project health. By the end, you will not only measure your team's performance with precision—you will communicate it with confidence, driving alignment, clarity, and continuous improvement across your organization.

This module provides a comprehensive journey from raw data to actionable insight. You will first learn why "gut feel" isn't enough and explore the foundational agile metrics that reveal true team performance. Then, you will discover how to analyze this data in Jira and translate it into clear, executive-ready dashboards. Finally, you will apply these skills to make data-driven recommendations that improve transparency and drive continuous improvement.
