Sincere Apologies guys, I think I have already introduced my self and @Hana Kučerová has greeted me already but I am being asked again as part of a challenge. I don't like to repeat but I am confused.

@Monique vdB - Could you please suggest me any better way to sort out this?

Hi all!

Great to be part of this group, and always happy to help out with anything Jira.

I've been using the products now for about two years, and have been a leader for coming up on a year.

I think my favourite product is Jira Service Management, just because it is the one I'm most familiar with.

kerri.meyer

Other than using Jira as an end user to enter IT tickets for companies I worked for in the past, I've never used it. We are now trying to use it for our enabling function (the People team) and I'll be honest...I'm lost. I'll be looking immediately for a high level overview so that I can decode what it means to have an epic, story, issue, task, etc.

Medhat Ahmed

Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone. Been using JIRA about 4 years now.

Marjorie

When did you first time find out about Jira? years ago, my COO wanted us to use it for requirements gathering.
Where are you in the process of adopting Jira? Only considering it or already implemented and looking for some extension? Can't live without it.
Which topics about Jira are you interested the most and what would you help you? Not sure at the moment. Anything Scrum.
Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira? I have come to love JIRA, but I pushed back years ago.

Walter Buggenhout

Hi all,

As many here before me, I am not really new to Jira anymore. I started using Jira back in 2011 to plan and track the work of the development team I worked for as a business analyst and Proxy to our customer(s).

A lot happened since. I've seen Jira split up in Jira Software, Service Management and Core (now Work Management). And I've made the shift from that development team to becoming a consultant on Atlassian Solutions now six years ago. I am enthusiastically helping our customers get the most of the Atlassian stack to solve all kinds of challenges in the areas of Project / Program / Portfolio Management, Service Management and everything related to teamwork, collaboration and knowledge work.

I have been around in the Community for several years helping solve questions and remain committed to doing so, as it has been an invaluable source for myself too to keep learning / investigating new things.

Yvonne Bailey

Hello, I'm currently in transition to a new career and Jira is tossed around like candy in the space of collaboration tools. So, I decided to take the initiative and start learning how to use the application!

John Funk

Welcome, Yvonne!

Ask plenty of questions in the Community - we are here to help!

Ric Moreno Orsini

Hi @Hana Kučerová! I'm absolutely new to Jira, setting up the workflows & the automation rules!

Mark Ashley dela Rosa

I've been hearing about Jira since I think around 2014 but it's only this year that I was able to get my first hand experience with it. I'm looking forward to learning awesome things with Jira

Grigory Salnikov_0hffsd

Hi everyone!

Have been using Jira and Confluence on and off for years now.

As usual, would be glad to help and share experience

Osuntoki Seun

I have known about Jira (Atlassian) since 2010 as a software engineering. I mostly relates with confluence to update and post documentations. After, I joined a couple of organization as a software developer, some use Jira some does not. I recently assumed a role where I needed to learn more about Jira administrations.

It feels like there is a lot to learn about Jira.

Looking forward to discovering new things in Jira.

Grigory Salnikov_0hffsd

Hi @Osuntoki Seun and welcome to our community!

There is a lot but it is fun. And you are already at the right place to start

Daniel Maat

Hello Everyone!

I have been using Confluence and Trello for a couple of years and decided it was time to jump on the wagon with Jira just recently in order to keep track of a software development project that I'm busy with.

So far it has been amazing and I'm looking forward to be part of this group to learn even more about how people use this great tool.

Kristin Lyons

When did you first time find out about Jira?
- I believe in .. 2014?
Where are you in the process of adopting Jira? Only considering it or already implemented and looking for some extension?

Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira?
- I love talking to my friends and casually mentioning Atlassian software and they're like .. "oh yes we use Jira at work too"

Huwen Arnone [Deiser/Devoteam]

I like when you talk about Jira, and someone else says they use it. It's a nice feeling. Mainly because it's unexpected, I think! @Kristin Lyons

Krish Suraparaju

First I heard about Jira in 2018

I'm currently impklementing Jira to the company of 400+ persons. It takes time to go gradually over from other softwares

Add on are the most interesting part, but also how to integrate to other software

All best

Cor Bobeldijk

Hi All, I am working in Jira now for a couple of months. Last week had a speed course on Jira Admin. Started to gain more information on it. That is why I joined now the community. Hoping to also contribute to this community later on. Living in Holland and I am a PO on ServiceNow as well.

Alexander Pappert

When did you first time find out about Jira?

9 or 10 years ago when it was intoduced in the project I worked for

Where are you in the process of adopting Jira? Only considering it or already implemented and looking for some extension?

I am now admin of a jira server instance for > 4 years
It is working but modifications are always needed

Which topics about Jira are you interested the most and what would you help you?

automation, addons, time tracking, ressource planning, gantt

Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira?

In some really old jira version, I use the share button to send a colleague a comment. In comment, I just used a dot or *, becaus I wanted to only send the link we talked about.
Sending crashed with some error message and I just pressed the button a few (or more) times. My colleague got 100 spam mails and was really confused.

Uche Osakwe

I found out about Jira job hunting and from a friend of mine that got into an IT role this year. Currently using it more as a project management tool, where I sort out most of my music production tasks as well as a few work tasks. Looking to implement Jira at work fully.

I am interested in Jira administration software.

Nikki Zavadska _Appfire_

Hi 👋, let me share a bit about my experience with Jira

When did you first time find out about Jira? Around 13 years ago, my dad was a developer and showed me the tool. I started using it at work 10 years ago
Where are you in the process of adopting Jira? Only considering it or already implemented and looking for some extension? I would say I'm on a journey to Jira mastery😅 I know many features in Jira, some APIs, and I'm designing Atlassian apps. But there are always surprises that we come across every day so it looks like the journey will never get completed 🤓
Which topics about Jira are you interested in the most and what would you help you? I'm currently most interested in and exploring Automation for Jira and I'm always curious about new updates and features that are coming to Jira Cloud.
Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira? 🤔 I'm not sure I can think of any of top of my head but I do enjoy Jira memes, here is the recent one I found.

Janice C

Hey everyone, my name is Janice!

I first heard about Jira through working with a tech company fresh out of my design bootcamp. My current team and I use Jira and Confluence quite regularly, I am still learning bits and pieces every single time I use it though. I reckon I feel quite new to this.. I would like to learn how to best use Jira/Confluenece for documenting as a designer. Looking back, I do not have any funny stories, more so how aware I am now of what I could/should be doing with Jira.

Gaurav_0av1h6

Hello @Hana Kučerová

Well, I had a trial by fire initiation to Jira, which now sounds funny as well!!

While working on a critical project back in 2016, the SVP asked if I could help her with some dashboards in Jira, and till then my only experience was to update the stories assigned to me. For some reason, I agreed to help (till date have not been able to understand why I agreed) and have not looked back as yet. Since then I have helped multiple teams adopt Jira and align the goals for even enterprise-level adoptions.

The latest additions to Jira like Automation are absolutely game changers and fun to explore!!

Pramodh M

Hi @Hana Kučerová

I have experience in Jira over the past 2 1/2 years and have been a person who is interested in getting to know new features.

Tools JSW and Advanced Roadmaps have seen more improvement in the cloud over the past year, so excited to learn and share the knowledge with the community.

Thanks,
Pramodh

Hi Everybody,

I have started using Jira back in 2006 only as an end-user. Since 2019, I've been more focused on Administration and providing support both for Jira Software / JSD and Cloud to customers and using a lot of ScriptRunner. Since 2020, I have started contributing to the community whenever I get some time.

I am looking forward to working with the community.

Regards,
