Book Description
Jira is the most widely adopted platform for Agile project management. This book, Ultimate Agile Administration with Jira (2nd Edition), gives you a practical, end-to-end command of Jira Cloud, from first setup through to advanced administration, automation, and AI-assisted workflows with Rovo.

You begin with Agile fundamentals and Jira's core architecture, such as projects, boards, work types, permissions, and workflows, and then build progressively through sprint management, backlog refinement, and Kanban configuration. The book covers field customisation, screen schemes, advanced filters, dashboards, and Agile reporting, grounding every concept in real- world administrator scenarios and hands-on examples.

In the final section, you explore Jira Advanced Roadmaps, the Atlassian Marketplace, Jira Product Discovery, and Atlassian Analytics. The book then introduces Rovo — Atlassian's AI teammate — and walks you through building no-code Rovo Agents for real-world automation. Hence, whether you are preparing for the ACP-120 certification or growing into a Jira Administrator role, this book delivers the depth and clarity to get you there.
