Learning Paths at JiraCon23

JiraCon is the largest virtual event dedicated to the Atlassian customer community (not counting Team23, of course). It’s a packed day of 42 sessions scheduled during a 7-hour period. There’s a lot to take in, especially if you’re the sole ticketholder from your team or organization.  If you can’t bring a few co-workers,  it might help to plan your learning path in advance.
 
We set the JiraCon23 agenda so attendees with a specific interest can do just that! Let’s do it by organizational role. We know our attendees will be from IT teams, Software teams, and Project Teams so here’s an hour-by-hour look at what JiraCon23 can provide for each!
