The Basic search is a great tool - but sometimes you just need something more powerful. Enter Jira Query Language (JQL - pronounced "Jayquill"). JQL can be intimidating since it looks technical / like code - however - once you understand some basic concepts it is very easy to pick up - and incredibly valuable to learn.

We'll cover topics like:

🔍 What JQL is

🔍 Basic parts of a query

🔍 How to write JQL Queries

🔍 Why I prefer JQL over Basic Search

🔍 How to properly pronounce Jayquill

🔍 And more!

This session is interactive. Bring your questions and let's explore together!

It is also entirely free and hosted on Youtube. A recording will also be made available in case you miss it.

This is the first in a series of sessions on how to find things in Jira.
