Atlassian Forge Training for Development Teams
Atlassian Forge is the most modern and secure way to develop extensions for Jira and Confluence in the cloud. Many companies are currently facing the challenge of migrating existing macros or integrations from Data Center to the cloud.
Our Forge training provides your team with the necessary knowledge and gives you a working app prototype project that you can develop independently.
Modular. Flexible. Hands-on.
Our training is not a rigid standard program, but a dynamic concept with flexibly combinable modules. We adapt the content to your prior knowledge, your goals and your specific needs.
- Setup of your development environment and computers
- Fundamentals of Forge, APIs and Extension Points
- Concept and development of an app prototype
- Trainer prepares a basic setup between the days
- Time for questions and deep dives in each module
- A finished PoC at the end of the training
(Day 1) Fundamentals and Setup - Example
- • Introduction, expectation alignment and goal definition
- • Setup of development environment (Forge CLI, Node, VS Code, Jira test instance)
- • Overview of APIs, Extension Points and Forge technologies
- • Joint app conception
- • Optional: Crash courses in Git, React, TypeScript
- • Conclusion & preparation of a demo app for Day 2
(Day 2) Practical Implementation - Example
- • Creating and extending a Forge app with CLI & Developer Console
- • Pair programming or group work on the prototype
- • Optional: Deep dives (type safety with trpc, efficient client logic with react-query)
- • Conclusion, feedback & outlook
Results for your Team
After the Forge workshop, your development team has the necessary knowledge and practical skills to independently develop Atlassian apps with Forge.
You have not only understood the theory, but also gained hands-on experience with the development environment, APIs and best practices. This means you can start with your own Forge projects immediately after the workshop.
A working app as prototype and blueprint
At the end of the workshop, you have developed a fully functional Forge app that serves as a prototype for your future projects. This app demonstrates all important Forge concepts and can be used as a blueprint for your own developments. You understand the architecture, the code and can extend and adapt the app independently.
A clean development environment on your devices
We set up a professional Forge development environment on your computers together. This includes the Forge CLI, Node.js and VS Code with the right extensions. You learn how to optimally configure your development environment and which tools are essential for Forge development. After the workshop, you can immediately start productively with your own projects.
Solid knowledge of Forge, APIs and Atlassian Cloud development
You understand the architecture of Forge, the APIs and Extension Points. You know how to apply the best concepts for your app and which best practices you should consider when developing. The solid knowledge makes you very flexible for the development of Atlassian Cloud apps in the future.
Documented architecture and technology decisions
You document all important architecture and technology decisions to further develop your app independently later. This documentation is a valuable resource for you and your colleagues after the workshop.
The confidence to sustainably develop your own apps
You have the confidence to sustainably develop your own apps. Through practical experience and acquired knowledge, you can master new challenges and continuously improve your Forge apps.
Who is this training for?
Development teams that want to start with Atlassian Cloud
Ideal for teams that are new to Atlassian Cloud and want to learn how to develop their own apps and extensions for Jira and Confluence with Forge.
Companies that need to migrate their own Data Center macros or apps
With the EOL of Atlassian Data Center, the move to the cloud is mandatory. We show how individual macros and apps can be newly developed with Forge for Jira and Confluence Cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the training take?
The duration depends on your prior knowledge and requirements. One to two days is the rule, but longer trainings are also possible.
How many participants are allowed per group?
Ideal are 4-6 participants per group. Depending on knowledge level and requirements, it can also be fewer or more people.
How can I book the training?
Contact us for an individual offer. You can also directly schedule a call with us via seibert.biz/meetsarah to talk about your questions and requirements for the training (of course free of charge).
Is the training possible remotely or on-site?
The training can take place either on-site or remotely. We adapt the concept to your needs.
What prior knowledge should participants bring?
For getting started with Atlassian Forge, no deep Atlassian-specific knowledge is necessary – what’s important is primarily a solid technical foundation.
Recommended:
Basic knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript (e.g., from web or backend development)
Experience working with APIs (REST, JSON)
Basic knowledge of Git and version control
Understanding of common web technologies (HTML, React optional advantage)
Nice-to-have:
Experience with Jira or Confluence administration
Knowledge of Atlassian Connect, if migrations are planned
Forge is designed so that teams become productive quickly – even without deep Atlassian prior knowledge. The training teaches all the basics to develop your own apps and bring existing solutions to the cloud within a short time.
Is there support after the workshop?
Yes – we don’t leave you alone after the workshop. After completing the training, we offer individual follow-up sessions, technical reviews or additional in-depth modules to support you in the further development of your Forge apps.
Whether you want to expand the started prototype, add new features or start a real customer project – we are at your side with advice, code reviews and best practices. Contact us for an individual offer.
