Jira is one of the most widely used issue and project tracking softwares out there. Unfortunately, totally blind users don’t have the easiest time using it. Because of this, we introduced Unstoppable to the Atlassian Marketplace so users that were totally blind could use Jira. Even though users now have access to using Jira with Unstoppable, just giving someone access to a product doesn’t mean they will know how to use it. Because or this, we’ve introduced our Jira training specifically designed for individuals that want to learn how to use Jira with Unstoppable. Even if you don’t need to use Unstoppable to use Jira, we welcome everyone to come learn how to use Unstoppable with Jira.
