Yeah, learning JIRA or your calendar app is straightforward. Learning to work effectively with other people, whether as a member of a team or leading a team, can be remarkably nuanced and can take years of work and improvement to get really effective at it. Working on large projects is a team sport. Expect to spend as much time (or more) working with others as just writing code. I mean, it's ok to not worry about soft skills and focus your time and effort entirely on coding, but ultimately that limits the scope of what you can do.
