Getting Started with JIRA - Key Agile Terms You'll Find in Jira

The video tutorial explains key concepts in JIRA, focusing on user stories and epics within agile methodology. It introduces user stories as a way to break down work without technical details, providing examples to illustrate their structure. The tutorial then explains epics as larger stories that can be broken into smaller tasks, especially useful in Scrum sprints. It concludes with a recap of how stories and epics are used in JIRA, noting that JIRA projects can be confusing for new users.

What is the primary purpose of a user story in Agile methodology?

• To detail the technical implementation

• To outline a user's goal and reason

• To assign tasks to developers

• To create a project timeline

Which of the following is an example of a user story?

• As a tester, I must create test cases for the new module.

• As a manager, I want to approve timesheets so that payroll is accurate.

• As a developer, I need to write code for the login feature.

• As a designer, I should create wireframes for the homepage.

How are epics different from user stories in Agile?

• Epics are larger stories that can be broken down

• Epics are only used in Kanban
