Hi everyone!

I started to use JIRA as a user in the 2007 and, from 2011, I started to become a JIRA Administrator.

Right now I help customers to adopt and customize JIRA especially in an enterprise context.

I'm also a full stack developer so I developed a lot of apps for Jira.

See you in the community!

Kai Becker

Hi there!

I started using Jira about 10 years ago. I have been around the Community for a few years, answering and asking whenever I have some time.

I mostly like JSM, Insight and Automation for Jira. Really enjoying the new level of integration in Jira Cloud.

Josh Costella

When did you first time find out about Jira?
- When my supervisor at the time said we were going to use this new tool to track all of our work and if there were any volunteers to own it, configure, and admin it. I was the only volunteer. And my first experience with it was as an Admin. Trial by fire!
Where are you in the process of adopting Jira? Only considering it or already implemented and looking for some extension?
- Well seasoned at this point. Spent a few years as an Atlassian Consultant and finally settled down with my current company where I lead a team of dedicated Atlassian Solutions Specialists. Best. Job. Ever.
Which topics about Jira are you interested the most and what would you help you?
- I love it all!
Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira?
- Not really. But I hope Atlassian leans more into the origins of "Jira" someday. Having a fire-breathing giant lizard as a mascot is my kind of software. Especially if it was done comedically like the Geico lizard.

Where are you in the process of adopting Jira? Only considering it or already implemented and looking for some extension?
- Implemented well
Which topics about Jira are you interested the most and what would you help you?
- automation and scaling
Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira?
- I once worked with a developer who thought he was deleting his comment and deleted the entire instance

Привет! я в Jira 2 день. Начал обучение тестированию, услышал, что эту программу нужно знать, зарегистрировался и вот пытаюсь что то понять, как тут и что. Ничего пока не понятно, но надеюсь, это временно.

Hi everyone, I came to know about Jira in 2020 when working on a peer-to-peer app with a couple of other developers and the lead dev was raving about Jira and Confluence at the time. Honestly, we used it for half of the project, then moved to another resource to wrap up the project. It was little overkill for our project at the time, but I look forward to learning more about Jira as it seems very robust. Cheers!

Gonchik Tsymzhitov

Hello everyone,

My name is Gonchik.

I started supporting Atlassian Applications in 2012.

My teacher of JQL in Jira in the open-source project was @Julia Atlygina

She made me fall in love with the product, and after that, she herself became a vendor (ALM works).

Which was motivation for me, after I do automation based on the diff apps and script engines, performance overview of different installations.

Also, I do love to make migrations and upgrades.

Feel free to reach out to me if needed.

Nowadays I like JSM in cloud.

Cheers,

Gonchik Tsymzhitov

Julia Atlygina

Haha, cute I too have warm memories of those times!

Allen Kim_bx7fn3

Hello, I've been using Jira at my previous company for over four years. This was our primary bug-filing and tracking tool.

Now at my new company, I have been made the administrator of our Jira database. However, I have little experience actually administering Jira, and I need to spend some time reading documentation on how to do just that.

For example, I would like to add states to the Status Workflow, and I would like to figure out why some people aren't allowed to transition from one state to another.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kevin_Flanagan

I have used Jira for four years and am very familiar with basic Jira. I used to write JQL for custom dashboard reports. I have 30 years of IT experience as a project manager and scrum master all in IT.

Looking to learn how to use Jira as an Administrator to manage SCRUM projects

Fernanda Haughton

Hi everyone. My name in Nandi, I am from South Africa.

I have heard about JIRA but only used it to log calls to IT.

Currently I am just playing around with the JIRA Software product as I work in a project management office and we are looking at project management software to implement in our segment.

JIRA is implemented throughout the organization we are a part of and we are looking at what the license we have already can offer us.

We have teams of project resources in 6 different African countries and need to find a way to try consolidate all that and make it easier for the disparate and spread out teams to connect and align. Am interested in reading about how the community members are dealing with issues similar to mine in this group.

So far no funny stories to tell using JIRA but am looking forward to reading some from the community.

Hello @Fernanda Haughton , welcome to the Community and hope you will find a tons of useful information and fun here.

@Hana Kučerová

Hi Hana and Everyone,

I am very new to the program and this is my 3rd week learning Jira but I heard about the software a few years back.

When did you first time find out about Jira? 10 yrs ago while temping at the MET and tech dept. advised perhaps the division for Special Exhibition may want to switch but did not have authority as I was just temping.
Where are you in the process of adopting Jira? Only considering it or already implemented and looking for some extension? I was very curious of how the software worked and ways to apply use.
Which topics about Jira are you interested the most and what would you help you? Currently just getting familiar with the features/modules and interested to basically know it's functionality.
Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira? I recently lost my job and DOL informed that courses are available through Coursera and I thought this was a "learn on your own" type of course so I enrolled (like a test drive ^.^) and started to realize that this was a community driven and "active" with others.

JB_hte9rv

Found out about Jira early 2000's and started using around 2014.

How about creating reports in Confluence?

Also, do you know if you can block a story from being moved to done if hours are not logged?

Lucas Modzelewski _Lumo_

Hi All!

I started using Jira in 2016, as QA in department making Jira apps. I had to learn it and understand how it can be used - at that time it was mostly Server. It's been ups and downs, some frustrations - in some cases community was providing best solutions.

Over time it's awesome to watch the progress and see how Jira is changing.

Funny story:

First days of 2022, we were testing our app migrations to cloud, we use 1 script to clean Jira - with removal of all projects and issue data etc. By accident this script was used on our production cloud instance! Team come back from the holiday and everything is gone, some think they were removed from projects or we have being attacked by some hacker ... everything was gone.

While we were taking with Atlassian about the restoration, we came up with 1 conforming sentence: At least support is clean! ^^

We started from the lvl 0, with creating new projects for each app, new support projects etc. some of us even was excited that we can avoid all of the mistakes we made in the past and remove some of the configurations.

Luckily we get it all back and operational within few days. A reminder:

In the future, you should run backups with Gitprotect.io for Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket and JIRA - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1225728/gitprotect-io-backup-for-bitbucket.

Sri Kumar_10fwob

Hi all,

I am Sri Kumar from the Atlassian Migration support team.

When did you first time find out about Jira? => In my previous company, they started using Jira Instead of Bugzilla for Dev collaboration.
Which topics about Jira are you interested in the most and what would you help you? => Getting more understanding of Reports
Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira? =>
In India, there is a spice called Jeera which has the same pronunciation as Jira, So it is always a funny story when trying to explain what tools I help migrate to my friends and relations.
