 ## Session Materials
 
-> [!TIP]
-> Previously used slides, docs or any other materials that future mentors could get value from should be listed here. If we don't have any (yet), this section can be removed.
-

-## Session Outline
-
-> [!TIP]
-> Write a plan for the order of topics, points to cover, examples, timings, exercises and any other useful info to guide the session.
-
-## Exercises
-
-> [!TIP]
-> Exercises might appear inside the Session Outline section if they are tightly integrated into the flow of the session. If you have more like a library of exercises that should be worked through in order, then you could also list them in a separate section here.
-
-## Optional Exercises
-
-> [!TIP]
-> If you have some extra exercises that trainees can complete if they finish the rest, or want to push themselves, include them in this optional section.
+In this session, we will learn how defects are managed throughout their life cycle and how to report them effectively. We will cover the difference between a defect and a bug, explore defect statuses, and understand severity vs priority. This week also introduces best practices for writing clear, reproducible bug reports and provides hands-on experience with JIRA.
