Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the September edition of the Atlassian Community round up. I know that I always say I have a great selection of articles for you to dig into, but that’s because it’s always true and this month is no different. Without further delay, let’s dive in and check them out!

First up, in the spirit of “Back to School“ the Atlassian University has been posting #AlwaysBeLearning tips. This is the aggregated article where you can find all the tips, so be sure to click through and learn all that you can.

Next, for all of you Atlas fans out there, Atlassian has announced a new app with a deep integration between Atlas and Jira Software. If you have been using both of these products (Atlas is still free in beta) you might want to check out this app (which is also free).

Do you like Trello? Do you like Labels? If you answered yes to both of these questions then you should check out @Brittany Joiner FAQ on how to use the new labels.

Have you ever wondered about what Statuspage has to offer or what use cases would find it beneficial? I know I have! @Daniel Ebers has a fantastic intro to Statuspage that if you wanted to learn more about the product, you should check it out!

In the same vein of learning how to use things, @Brant Schroeder have put together a great article all about using Confluence as a knowledgebase. I’m personally planning to use some of these tips simply for how I should structure some “How To“ articles I need to write regularly outside the concept of putting them in a knowledgebase.

Continuing with Confluence, are you making use of Atlassian’s Template Library? No, read through @Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_’s article on some of her go to templates, then go check out the Template Library to see if there are some templates you can leverage to make your Confluence page creation a breeze!
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/How-Confluence-Templates-Change-the-Way-You-Think/ba-p/2133033
Next, we have some great thinking articles! First, @summer.hogan shares her experiences on how to manage negative external influences on your scrum team.
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Teamwork-Lab-articles/Negative-Sentiments-Toward-your-SCRUM-Team-and-How-to-Deal-with/ba-p/2137759
Then, @Jenn Velázquez shares some tips on achieving a work-life balance. The short version: get better at saying no to yourself! Does that sound crazy? Go read the full article it will make more sense.
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Teamwork-Lab-articles/How-this-simple-trick-helped-me-achieve-work-life-balance/ba-p/2140642
Finally, we have a couple of “feel good“ articles. First, @John Funk shares his thoughts on what makes a successful work management team. And, if you haven’t read his book yet, you should do that too!
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Work-Management-Articles/What-makes-a-successful-work-management-team-with-Community/ba-p/2129863
Lastly, our #JiraHeroes story for the month of September with @Amit Bansal. Like a number of other Jira Heroes stories, Amit’s company has struggled with transparency and standardized reporting. Check out this article as they share all about how they used dashboards with specific JQL queries and gadgets to solve all of their reporting needs.

That’s all folks! Wait you wanted more? I got you covered! Here’s are a few trending discussions for you to jump into and join the conversation.

That’s it, for real this time! I hope you all enjoyed everything in this article, and as always please remember that this is just as sample of all the great content on the community, so be sure to go check out all the other amazing content for you to consume once you have finished reading these.

Until next time, I wish you all a wonderful and happy (or spooky) October!

Thanks for this roundup @Jimmy Seddon

I appreciate you enjoyed the short article and hope

it helps you bring more work-life balance!

And yes, I have the same issue; the most challenging part is convincing yourself you can't do everything at once and that not everything is equally as important. 😅

@Tosha Liveoak you can search for a specific word or phrase and my titles always contain "Community Round-up", so that might work?

@Tosha Liveoak you can use this search link to pull up a keyword search for Community Round-up, and then in the right hand sidebar, click "Create alert" to set it up!
