This is an application I am very interested in but know little about. So, I decided to jump in with both feet and immerse myself into the subject matter. As a senior technical writer, I'm quite comfortable with "high-tech" subject matter. The book is written in a very cohesive and understandable format; the author certainly has an excellent command of the English language and communicates well to the reader. For anyone who wishes to delve into Jira, this book is logically structured and moves smoothly from one topic to the next.

Ein kurzer Hinweis zum Hintergrund der Rezension, ich bin langjähriger Administrator und Nutzer von Jira und bin auch in der Atlassian Community als Community Leader aktiv. Mir wurde für diese Rezension ein kostenloses Exemplar vom Verlag zur Verfügung gestellt.Meiner Meinung nach ist das Buch ein guter Einstieg in das Thema und bietet einen guten Überblick über die wichtigsten Bereiche in der Administration und Benutzung. Also hauptsächliche Zielgruppe des Buches sind Projekt-Manager angegeben, ich würde hier, zumindest für einige Bereiche des Buches, eher Adminstratoren als Zielgruppe sehen. Nichtsdestotrotz ist das Buch sicherlich auch für jeden Projekt-Manager, der Jira einsetzen möchte, eine Bereicherung.Der Autor startet im ersten Kapitel mit einer Einführung in Jira und wie dieses installiert wird. Dabei wird detailliert auf die Installation unter Windows eingegangen, die Installation unter Linux kommt recht kurz. Dabei werden dann auch einige der wichtigen Konfigurations-Einstellungen bzw. Dateien erwähnt, z.B. die Konfiguration von HTTPS oder wie Jira in einem Cluster betrieben werden kann, um z.B. die Ausfallsicherheit zu erhöhen. Auch werden Zero-Downtime-Upgrades, also die Möglichkeit, das System zu aktualisieren, ohne eine Einschränkung für die Nutzer zu haben, erwähnt, es wird aber nicht genauer auf das Vorgehen eingegangen. Das mag jemanden, der neu in der Administration ist, etwas zu kurz sein.Insbesondere Tipps zu wichtigen Punkten, die man in der Vorbereitung bzw. bei der Durchführung des Updates beachten sollte, wären hier noch wünschenswert.Im nächsten Kapitel geht der Autor auf das Thema Projekte ein und stelle zunächst einmal vor, was ein Projekt ist und erklärt auch die Oberfläche von Jira. Dies finde ich gerade für Neulinge in Jira sehr hilfreich. Ein für mich recht überraschender Schritt ist dann der thematische Sprung zum Thema CSV-Import, um Vorgänge zu importieren. Das hätte ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt im Buch nicht erwartet, da dies meiner Meinung nach schon recht technisch ist und manchen Leser überfordern kann.Es wird das grundsätzliche Vorgehen zum CSV-Import detailliert vorgestellt. Der CSV-Import bietet allerdings noch einige Möglichkeit, die man zumindest erwähnen und auf die Doku dazu verweisen könnte.Auch wird das Thema Archivierung noch angesprochen.Das dritte Kapitel startet mit einer Einführung in die agilen Methoden Scrum und Kanban, da diese die Grundlagen für den Rest des Kapitels sind. Auch wird detailliert auf die Nutzung von Sprints eingegangen und auch das Thema Schätzungen behandelt.Aufbauend auf diesen Grundlagen geht es dann um die Nutzung der Boards und deren ausführliche Konfiguration.Das vierte Kapitel startet mit dem Einstieg in die Vorgangsansicht und erklärt auch verschiedene Aktionen, die im Vorgang vorgenommen werden können. Auch dies finde ich für Einsteiger in das Thema sehr hilfreich. Da das Thema Zeiterfassung häufig ein wichtiges Thema ist, wird dieses hier auch intensiv behandelt.Danach springt der Autor in die Konfiguration der Vorgangstypen, dies ist für mich überraschend und hätte ich an dieser Stelle nicht erwartet. Weiter geht es dann mit dem Thema Unteraufgaben, diese werden ausführlich erklärt. Außerdem wird hier noch kurz auf Prioritäten eingegangen.Das fünfte Kapitel dreht sich um das Thema Felder. Zunächst werden hier kurz die Jira System Felder und Feld Typen vorgestellt. Dies bietet eine gute Grundlage für den Rest des Kapitels, in dem dann die Konfiguration weiterer, individueller Felder thematisiert wird.Im sechsten Kapitel geht es um die Bildschirm-Masken, wie diese mit den im vorigen Kapitel angelegten Feldern zusammen spielen und wie man diese konfiguriert und wo diese eingesetzt werden können.Auch wird hier das Thema Troubleshooting in Bezug auf die Felder angesprochen.Das siebte Kapitel ist meiner Meinung nach eines der essentiellsten Kapitel, hier werden die Workflows besprochen. Zunächst wird auf die Status, deren Kategorisierung und die Transitionen eingegangen. Dabei werden dann auch die Funktionen, die im Workflow hinterlegt werden können, wie Trigger, Konditionen, Validatoren und Folgefunktionen, vorgestellt und deren Konfiguration wird detailliert vorgestellt.Auch werden hier kurz einige Apps zur Erweiterung des Funktionsumfangs vorgestellt.Das achte Kapitel behandelt das Email und Benachrichtigungen. Los geht es mit einer theoretischen, kurzen Einführung und dann geht es zum Einen um die Benachrichtigungen (und die diese auslösenden Events), aber auch um eingehende Emails, um daraus Vorgänge oder Kommentare zu erzeugen. Für beides wird detailliert auf die Konfiguration eingegangen.Im neunten Kapitel dreht es sich um die Sicherheit, hier startet es mit einer Übersicht über die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten, einen Benutzer anzulegen. Weiter geht es mit einer Gegenüberstellung von Gruppen und Rollen und der Vor- und Nachteile der jeweiligen Nutzung. Es wird auch auf den Unterschied zwischen globalen und projekt-bezogenen Berechtigungen eingegangen und die Vorgangssicherheit vorgestellt.Auch wird das Thema Single-Sign-On, das immer mehr Bedeutung gewinnt, behandelt und die Beauskunftung über das Audit-Log erklärt.Im zehnten Kapitel geht es dann um die Suche nach Vorgängen, Reporting und Analyse. Los geht es mit den Möglichkeiten, nach Vorgängen zu suchen und einer kurzen Einführung zu JQL. Dabei hätte ich mir noch etwas mehr Details gewünscht, z.B. zum Aufbau einer JQL Abfrage oder alternativ zumindest ein Verweis auf die Doku, wo mehr Informationen zur Verfügung stehen. Auch wären ein paar Beispiele hilfreich gewesen.Es wird auch gut erklärt, wie aus einer Suche dann ein Filter erstellt wird und wie diese verwendet werden können.In das Reporting wird nur sehr kurz eingestiegen, das hätte meiner Meinung nach etwas detaillierter sein können und zumindest auf verschiedene Arten von Reports eingegangen werden oder dass es z.B. Unterschiede in den verfügbaren Reports bei Scrum- und Kanban Boards gibt.Zum Abschluss werden noch die Dashboards vorgestellt und deren Konfiguration.Das vorletzte Kapitel gibt dann noch einen Ausblick in Jira Service Management, eine Variante von Jira, die für die Bereitstellung eines Servicedesks gedacht ist. Dieses wird ausführlich vorgestellt, es wird darauf eingegangen. welche Unterschiede es gibt, wenn JSM als einzelne Anwendung oder als "Erweiterung" im Jira Software installiert wird. Dabei fehlt mir allerdings der Integrations-Aspekt.Es wird dann auch noch ausführlich auf die Konfigurations-Möglichkeiten eingegangen, die sich auf diese spezielle Art von Projekten beziehen.Zum Abschluss gibt es dann noch einen Ausblick in die Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten mit Apps und es werden für einige Anwendungsfälle Apps vorgestellt.Insgesamt finde ich das Buch sehr gut und strukturiert aufgebaut. An einigen Stellen gibt es Sprünge in die Konfiguration, die ich so nicht erwartet hätte und die für mich den Lesefluss gestört haben. Ganz grundsätzlich hätte ich mir einmal eine Einführung in das Schema der Konzepte bei Jira gewünscht, da diese Essentiell in der Konfiguration sind und im Prinzip in allen Bereichen wieder auftauchen.Was ich sehr positiv finde, ist dass es ein HR Projekt als Beispiel gibt, das in jedem Kapitel wieder aufgenommen wird und an dem dann das gerade behandelte Thema praktisch umgesetzt wird.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
