Quick pulse check.
Take 60 seconds - open the link in the chat and answer four quick questions. This is your starting point; we'll check again at the end to see how far you've come.

Part 1 - Check-in
How did you go?
Since Workshop 1 - what have you logged, what's tripped you up, and what's still unclear? Let's talk it through.
Part 2 - Back into Jira
Part 2 - New scenario
Let's build
something real.
We'll run a Works Notice end to end - Epic, Task and Sub-tasks - the same way a real lane closure notice moves through Jira. You'll each build it yourself, step by step, while we talk it through together.
Part 2 - How you work
Part 2 - Flexibility & autonomy
Make it work for you.
Jira is a flexible work platform - and we want you to keep real autonomy in how you do your work.
RecommendedWe'll always give you a recommended approach - a way that works and keeps everyone consistent.
Your callFound a way that suits you better and still respects the golden rules? That's completely fine.
Even betterIf your approach improves on ours, tell us - that's how we keep making the ways of working better.
Part 2 - How reviews run
Part 2 - Review process
Two ways to review.
Part 2 - Lane closure epic
Part 2 - Hands-on, everyone builds their own
