Jira Align labs
Asked by Shaker Nelanuthala:

I have taken the Jira Align essentials course. How do I get to labs to practice? I have been looking all over and could not find a link to labs. How do I setup a demo account to do the Jira Align labs? Thanks.

body: We are in the process of updating the course. For now, labs won't be provided for the online version of the course. I can give you access to a VM with Jira Align and the lab instructions if you send me your email.

body: I sent you another invite to CloudShare. That is the company that hosts our VMs for Jira Align student instances. You have to accept the invite before I can add you to an instance for you to do the labs. You should receive an email from CloudShare with a link to create an account. Once you've created the account, respond here and I'll assign a Jira Align instance to you.

You can use [Training simulation checklists](https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002739854-Training-simulation-checklists)  

Training simulations, available through the checklist feature, are interactive videos that promote training, onboarding, and continued learning of Jira Align features workflows and modules.   

I hope it helps you!

body: I do not know how to get to top navigation bar. Mine does not show anything. Do you first need to register for a free version of Jira align?

Due to the nature of your request, typically we would recommend you get in touch with our Sales reps. They're the best ones to review your needs and bring the right people into the conversation.

However, prior to doing so, there are a number of resources you can review in advance, and then move on with.

1. [Jira Align Demo center](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/align/demo-center) -- a series of short demo videos (Jira Align Product Overview, Strategic Intent, and Outcome Alignment, Agile PI Planning, Dependency Management, and much more)
2. [Atlassian Community](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?advanced=false&allow_punctuation=false&filter=location&location=category%3Ajira-align&q=demo) questions
3. [Jira Align demo videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-BE6zJ9FOw&list=PLaD4FvsFdarTqV_VSH9EO39B88--bGFva) -- hosted at Atlassian channel on YouTube
4. Request access to [Launchpad](https://www.atlassian.com/whitepapers/launchpad) -- a guided trial experience for Jira Align. Based on your role, Launchpad introduces you to key tasks in Jira Align through a series of overview videos and detailed step-by-step simulations. ^![](https://getsupport.atlassian.com/images/icons/emoticons/information.png) Once your launchpad instance is created, you will receive an email with access. It will include simulations and demo data. It will be good for 7 days.^

And then finally, you can reach out to the Sales reps we've mentioned, to request your own demo. Just visit <https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/align/demo>, fill in the form and they'll reach out back to you.

Let us know how it goes!
