Our developer workshops are led by experienced programmers and are designed to cover all the questions that experienced developers might not have had answered by the user- or administrator workshops. We only offer these workshops upon request and following individual conversations with workshop trainers after user- and administrator workshops. Please be aware that oftentimes, we cannot offer these workshops on short notice because our developers are typically very, very busy, so please take some waiting time into account.

You will get the most out of JIRA if you allow for an unbureaucratic workflow and if and when necessary, require strict process rules, depending on the needs of your project. These requirements may also differ within the project itself, so certain parts may remain more flexible, while others might be more rigid. A simple example: an additional request of a customer in your project needs to be estimated, given the go-ahead, controlled for quality, and accepted by the customer. A mistake on your end needs to be removed as quickly as possible: complicated processes would only slow down this effort. We configure JIRA together with you so that it fits your enterprise’s needs, we will also show you how you can further customize it yourself.
