JWM Updates

And now let's have a look at what's new in Jira Work Management -  a new course at Atlassian University, open forms, and Confluence integration in board view.

  • A new course in the Atlassian university called "Get started with Jira Work management" The course covers Jira work management basics, and it's perfect for both new and experienced users.
  • A new feature improvement - With Open forms enable everyone who can access Jira to see the forms, not just users who can create issues, expanding the platform's reach.
