Hi everyone, The most common question I get from project admins is some variant of "I added the field, why can't I see it?" And the honest answer is that there are at least five places it could be dying, in a specific order, and you have to check all of them. Field context (is the field even scoped to this project and work…
What if every team in your organization could work exactly the way they need to - independently, confidently, and within the standards you've set? This live session covered scaling Jira administration and explored how Jira admins can give teams real autonomy without sacrificing consistency, governance, or trust in…
Last week I posted an analysis of negative reviews of large paid Marketplace apps and asked whether app downtime was a real problem. Four people took the time to show me it was not the question I thought it was. I said I would publish the data, so here it is, and then one open question instead of another hypothesis of…
Hi Jira admins 👋 We are excited to announce that Space policies are now available in open beta to Standard, Premium and Enterprise customers across Jira, Jira Service Management, and Jira Product Discovery. Space policies let teams create and manage team-managed spaces within guardrails you define. Teams get the freedom to…
Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on the upcoming transition from Field Configurations to the new Field Schemes, announced on this post late last year. We understand that this is a significant architectural change, especially for our veteran Jira Admins managing large-scale instances. To help clarify the…
I've been digging through the public Marketplace API to understand what people actually complain about in paid apps, and the result surprised me enough that I want a sanity check from people who run these instances daily. What I pulled: every 1- and 2-star review with text from 22 of the largest paid apps — Xray, Tempo…
Two weeks ago this community mapped three doors AI agents use to enter Jira: workflows, automation, and assignment. That thread collected governance patterns I still quote. But while we were watching those doors, a fourth one opened, and it is not for agents entering your org. It is for agents talking to each other. This…
Third in the series after three doors and the fourth door, A2A. This one is about the doors most of us think we have already locked. What I thought the control was. Atlassian Administration, Rovo, Rovo MCP server, Domains tab: a list. Atlassian's supported AI partners are allowed by default, you can add your own domains,…
A request comes in for a new custom field. It's specific: the name, the field type, which screens it should appear on. The requestor has done the diagnosis and the design work before ever contacting you. All that's left, as far as they're concerned, is to click "create." Every Jira admin knows what happens next. Approve…
On 3 December 2026 Atlassian Automation stops being free at the margin. It has already moved from per-app monthly run limits to automation steps pooled at the organisation level; from that date, steps beyond your allowance are billed (how usage is calculated). The meter has been counting in Atlassian Administration since 1…
