💭 Reconnect & reflect: Share your favorite moments from your Admin Connect chats

[#1]

Our latest round of Admin Connect conversations kicks off this week on December 2nd!

 

In the comments of this post, let’s create a running list of tips, inspiration, and favorite moments from these Admin Connect chats. Your stories can inspire other community members, help others maximize their connection chats, and let you showcase something new you’ve learned. 😎

To get us going, feel free to share:

• An “aha” moment from your conversation

• Something new you learned from your match

• An unexpected common discovery with your match

• A new way of working, product feature, or product use case you've been inspired to try after your conversation

• Anything else you're excited to share!

If you missed the latest connection round - no worries! We’re looking forward to continuing these connection opportunities in the new year and hearing about what you’ve learned! Keep an eye out for the next opportunity, coming in January.

Hi @Kristen Roth , thanks for posting this question.

I was in the first round of match-ups and had a great experience with @Josh McManus ! We discussed a bit about what we're doing with Atlassian products and governance of an ecosystem, and I learned some things that I'm putting into practice now. Josh also shared the huge effort he's implementing at work to restructure his teams and tool architecture for better efficiency, and at the time he hadn't fully documented it so I'm really glad he did and published it as a Community article, Building a Comprehensive Data Model for my Organization. I really enjoyed talking with him and would highly recommend this matching program (nope, not getting paid to say that ☺️) -- it's fun and you'll likely learn and meet a really interesting Atlassian user!

I was very fortunate to be paired with Christine Byrer (personal reminder, I need to follow back up with her!) and I had one of these eye opening, "aha" experiences.  She also is in the Insurance space and I found so many similarities in our Jira configurations, our adoption of automation and AI, etc.  Many times as a Jira admin I feel like I am on a lonely island, with InfoSec or Legal limitations slowing our potential uses of the different app features and benefits... but speaking with her showed me that many organizations face these same challenges... and in bringing admins together to discuss things, Atlassian made that world seem just a bit smaller... and less lonely.  :)

We've got so many great people in this community - there's no need for anyone to feel lonely! Thanks for sharing, @John Elder!
