Welcome Wednesday: What's your job title?

[Dave LIAO]

👋 G'day Atlassian Community!

For this Welcome Wednesday[1], I've got two questions[2]:

1. What's your current job title? Or last job title, if you're not currently working.
2. Is your job Atlassian-related at all? (yes/no) What percentage? Examples: 0%, 25%, 50%, 100%

I'll start!

1. For me, my current job title is "Consultant" (sometimes "Tools Consultant"). Depending on the client, I might be more specific - like "Jira Consultant".
2. My title doesn't always have anything Atlassian-related in my job, but my job is usually 90% focused on Atlassian things.

🙃 Please comment with your answers! Looking forward to your replies.

[1] Welcome Wednesdays are an easy way to participate on the forums, usually on non-Atlassian topics. Check out past Welcome Wednesday posts.
[2] Thanks to Community Champion @John Funk for the idea of surveying the community! One day I hope to meet him in real life.

• What's your current job title? SaaS Administrator - but I tend to Identify myself as One of Two Lead Org Administrator's for all things Atlassian - under my current employer (Aristocrat).
• Is your job Atlassian-related at all? (yes/no) What percentage? Yes - 95-98.99999% - we may do support for 2nd party/3rd party tools that may or may not interact with Atlassian. As the JSM/CSM SME - I tend to be more focused on Atlassian tasks more often than not.

We're a very large Org - 15-20 Sites -  the primary site has 4k Spaces in it. (Yeah - it's - it's a little busy)

@Matthew Sinclair - I appreciate the five 9's of accuracy in your percentage 😂

[Matthew Sinclair]

Its for those moments I get asked a Tempo question. 🤪😁

[Dave LIAO]

HA! I'd include that under the Atlassian banner, but I get it 😭

[Matthew Sinclair]

Tempo is not Atlassian. Its a 2nd party add on.  I will die on this hill! 🤣🤣🤣

(Its like tea leaves to me...but we take care of our folks. 😁🙂🙃)

Thank YOU for the thoughtful reply!

G'day! @Dave LIAO 👋

1. My current job title is Senior Consultant — though in practice I'm an Atlassian Administrator through and through. Day to day it covers Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, Assets, and everything in between.

2. 100% Atlassian. From configuring workflows and automation rules, to CMDB design, portal customization, and even onboarding/offboarding integrations — if it has an Atlassian logo on it, I'm probably the one managing it.

😄 Love seeing how many of us end up with generic titles that don't quite capture how deep in the Atlassian ecosystem we really are! 🙃

[Dave LIAO]

😂 It's always entertaining trying to describe our jobs to non-technical and technical folk alike!

1. Up until now, I've been juggling two titles: Team Lead for our Support Team and System Owner for Atlassian. But as of this month, I've officially dropped the Team Lead hat and am now "just" the System Owner for Atlassian (as well as SharePoint). 🥳

2. So far, Atlassian has taken up about 50% of my time, at least on paper. 😅 Looking ahead, I suspect it'll be closer to 75-80% of my workload, if not more.

[Matthew Sinclair]

Your next objective...secretly swap sharepoint for loom/confluence! 🤭🙂

also grats on the psuedo promotion. 😁

[Marita Gustavsen]

Hah! I'll see what I can do 😉🤭

Due to the nature of our documentation, some of it needs to live separately. But my goal is to at least establish some clear guidelines on what goes where, so we're not all playing document hide-and-seek. 😅

Thanks! Looking forward to diving deeper into the Atlassian universe! 🤩

What's your current job title?

• Team Lead – IT Delivery & Planning Solutions and Senior Atlassian Consultant
  Can be shorter, I know 😅

• All related to Atlassian - I mean, that's why I joined this company, so I can work mainly with Atlassian tools. In my previous company, I was working with them, but it wasn't my primary job 😐

I can just say, I'm pretty happy where I am at the moment :)

Current job title: My official title is Technical Project Manager, but for each project, my involvement is different so my title is changed to align with my role in the project ☺️

Atlassian usage: 25-50%, as the documents are maintained in Confluence and the tasks are created and updated in JIRA.
