# Jira Account Setup

## Overview

This training requires a **Jira Premium Plan** and several **company-managed Scrum projects**. Fortunately, Jira provides free accounts for 30 days. We recommend doing this training in a free training instance.

This page walks through setting up the correct Premium Plan and creating **company-managed Scrum Projects**.
