What Our Students Have to Say
This course was great for me personally. I was able to take away a framework for my JIRA's. Which I agree with in today's world we can not get away with just one liners anymore. And now with this framework for my JIRA's I will be able to provide all the necessary information for my team to deliver work. I think this will not only help understanding but drive better estimation of stories within my team which we have been struggling with currently.
Overall I would give the course a 5/5 it stuck to its objective and I believe if more than meet the expectations I had for it. Would recommend this course to anyone who wanted to learn more on JIRA skills and user story building.

The User Stories with JIRA for Agile Teams workshop led by Sergey Shimansky gets the right balance by being highly practical (the best way to learn is by doing) and immediately applicable. The course material is also a great source of reference for anyone working with Agile daily. Sergey’s extensive track record in planning and facilitating workshops, combined with his deep understanding of Scrum, made the training incredibly relevant and useful.
One aspect I really liked, which sets this workshop apart, is its tailored approach, offering different tracks and levels of exercises to match each participant’s expertise. This customization ensured that everyone, regardless of their experience level, could fully benefit from the training.

I enjoyed participating in Sergey’s workshop, “User Stories with JIRA for Agile Teams". The materials are thorough and include helpful examples that often come up during discovery and backlog refinement sessions. Sergey is an excellent instructor. I highly recommend his workshop to anyone looking to hone their skills in Jira and writing requirements for Agile teams. There are several ideas you can apply to help make your next projects successful.

I recently had the pleasure of participating in a two-day instructor-led class on Business Analysis and Agile User Story Creation. This training was incredibly enriching, providing me with valuable insights and practical tips on engaging with stakeholders and teams as a BA.
I actively participated in discussions, sharing my experience and skills to offer some nice insights. Thanks to this collaborative environment, I was able to learn a lot from other participants as well.
A big thank you to Sergey Shimansky, CBAP for this opportunity, such great prepared use cases, and insights into stakeholders' engagement.
I’m also thrilled to have received a certification of attendance!
Looking forward to applying these new skills in the future!
