Kate Smoliakova

I find out about Jira around 10 years ago but started to use it actively only a year ago.

The most interesting topics for me are organizing portal and knowledge base, automation, and now Jira product discovery.

I have a very funny and close-to-tragic story.

Once we moved our project from team-managed to company-managed. While we were finishing the Sprint in the old one, and creating Sprint in the new one - somebody moved the task to the new board, but it was marked with the current Sprint.

So I decided to remove this inappropriate sprint from the new board and as a result — this Sprint was also removed from the original board.

I was shocked. I also was late evening just before the start of my vacation. It was really stressful, but I found the solution. I created the duplicate of the deleted sprint and quickly identified the sprint scope with the help of Activity Stream in Dashboards and assigned a new version of the sprint.

When did you first time find out about Jira?
- In 2011 I started my Jira Journey when I joined the Atlassian Partner company their i come to know abt the Atlassian and their Product.
Where are you in the process of adopting Jira? Only considering it or already implemented and looking for some extension?
- I am very much in jira now. Its much improve tool over the time and more powerful tool and still looking for some extensions
Which topics about Jira are you interested the most and what would you help you?
- JQL, Reporting, Workflow, Permissions, Issue Collectors, Groups/Roles these are some important topics which make customer life easy to handle their process.
Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira?
- Yes When I heard Jira first time I wonder what kind of tool is this because the Cumin Seed is called as jeera in my mother tounge. So when I say I work on jira the first thing comes in people mind is Cumin Seed

Emilia Naydenova

Hi, everyone! I started using Jira in 2021 when I started working at a software company. Me and my team (Marketing) are using Jira daily for all of our tasks and projects and it helps us a lot to track and manage all the work.
I'm interested mostly in tracking our effort, automated work insights and easy project tracking.
Maybe all of the stories in the beginning were funny cause it was all new to me but fortunately it's pretty easy to get used to it

Richard D Kimble

Hi, everyone!

I first used Jira back in 2019 when the company I worked for decided to adapt agile development. Someone at the company set up Jira, Confluence, Zephyr, etc. Had some basic training on those tools (that means 1/2 day zoom meeting) and were turned loose. Worked on one project that was only executing test cases. the pandemic happened and haven't used jira until now. The company I now work for is going to use Jira. I'm the most "experienced" Jira user on our little team.

Going to be looking for how to set up Jira to shepherd a new product from scratch to production.

Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira? I once deleted fields that were production fields before you could restore from trash. It was funny when I was a noob.

Hi all,

I am new to Jira. Happy to be a part of the group.

Thanks.

When did you first time find out about Jira?
- I actually learned about Jira when I volunteered to learn how to use it for project management while working on a support team for charter schools. We were using it to do our annual scheduling. That was in February of 2022.
Where are you in the process of adopting Jira? Only considering it or already implemented and looking for some extension?
- I am in the process of building up our departments use of the systems. It had been in use for over a year before I ended up in my job and I spent the first 6 months of a my job cleaning it up and now I am training people on how to use it and showing them how to use it better.
Which topics about Jira are you interested the most and what would you help you?
- I really love showing people how to use a the work management projects. Before I started everyone was using software projects, even for things that had nothing to do with software! I also LOVE automations. I have since developed four annual recurring projects that generate from the typing of a single epic.
Do you have any funny stories connected to Jira?
- The funniest story I have is related to how I landed where I am today. When I was working for the charter support team, I have only been there for four months, we began using Jira and my supervisor at the time asked someone to volunteer to learn all about it and show the team. It was the first thing I volunteered for, but I did and I started learning how to use it quickly but I found it to be lacking in some areas, so I started researching add-ons that would do what I wanted. I requested one and the response I received back was "Not Interested". I sent an email back justifying why I needed it, why my team needed it and more importantly why the add-on would be beneficial to the entire department of users. I was then asked to do a presentation for the head of the department of App and Data Services. And I did, from the hospital room where my son was undergoing chemotherapy. I got my add-on and the next morning had an email from the head of the department encouraging me to apply for the Atlassian Product Manager position that had just been created. I did, even though I didn't have the degree they asked for and had minimal experience with the product, something kept telling me to. I interviewed and got the position from the hospital, they didn't care that I was going to be 100% remote for the foreseeable future due to my sons cancer diagnosis, they wanted my passion and excitement for learning about the products and sharing my knowledge. So that one simple move of volunteering to learn a new program landed in me in one of the best career moves that I have ever made in my life.

I started using Jira and Confluence around 2009, I don't remember the exact time. Since then I have been working with the toolset on consultancy basis and the last year as a full internal admin and agile specialist

Raul Pelaez _TecnoFor - Marketplace Partner_

Experienced Jira enthusiast since 2012, when I discovered it while searching for project management and task management tools for Linkcare Health Services. Currently, I have implemented Jira in large corporations and multinationals across Spain, elevating project efficiency.

Passionate about Jira, I excel in Scriptrunner, Jira, Kanban, Confluence, Integrations, and more. Sharing knowledge through writing articles on mraddon.blog, I'm eager to assist and explain any Jira-related queries.

Adding a touch of humor, "NO JIRA NO PARTY" is a phrase close to my heart, resonating with the team spirit that Jira brings to the office.

Dan Tombs

Hey team. I'm so glad to join the group properly.

I first found out about Jira about 8 years ago when I joined a platinum solution partner.

I have been working in very close proximity with Jira for the last 8 years. I keep learning every day but have luckily been able to learn the application in great detail.

I love automation and the integration between applications so any news along those topics will be incredibly interesting to me.

GR_elh3kr

I have never used Jira before, and this is my first experience. I want to learn about all the Jira features.

Dana A

Good Morning,

New to Jira and found out about it during a new integration project. Then I became a project manager and fell in love with it.

Needing examples of project layouts to see processes.

My funny example using Jira is making it up as I go!

Collista Lewingdon

You and I have similar experiences with Jira. Including the making it up as we go.

LynnG

Hi,

I first learned about Jira in 2013.
I feel new because our site admin has left and I want to take over but I need training to become knowledgeable
I am determined to get as certified as possible. I feel that will give me confidence and force me to cover many topics.
I found a Jira bug and reported it. Atlassian thanked me and sent me a free T-shirt.

I'm very motivated to learn everything you know.

Hi everyone!

I got wind of Jira during my last job.
I'm pondering over it since I'm still getting the hang of the Atlassian platform.
I'm drawn to Jira topics for enterprises services and deployments.
