Jira automation essentials
A free, self-paced course for Jira admins on automation step usage: how Atlassian counts steps, how to find the flows that spend the most, and how to cut one down without changing what it does. Each lesson is a short video with the concepts written out beside it and a quiz to check what stuck.

The lessons
Take them in order or jump to the one you need. Each is a video with its concepts written out underneath, a quiz (5 questions across the course), and the full transcript.
What you will learn
- Explain what counts as an automation step, and why branches and conditions change the count
- Find the flows spending the most steps on the Usage tab's upcoming usage model
- Read a flow's audit log to see which steps a run actually spent
- Replace a broad trigger with field value changed on the fields the flow needs
- Put a JQL condition first so the wrong work items stop at the top of the flow
- Scope a flow to the spaces that use it and fold repeated branches into one
Who it is for
Jira admins who own automation flows and want to keep step usage inside the monthly allowance.
