What is the Fixing Jira Workflows That Break During course about?

You've designed Jira workflows that function well within teams. But when work crosses boundaries, say, from backend to QA, or dev to ops, the process breaks. Status fields don’t map, required fields get skipped, and automation rules conflict. The result: manual triage every sprint, duplicated effort, and last-minute fire drills. You’re not lacking process; you’re missing a handoff-aware workflow architecture.
