Craeg Strong Atlassian Partner

Enjoyed speaking at this event! "Team Spaces in Confluence" barely touched the surface of Confluence capabilities and hope to make a deeper dive next time.

sorry about the translation cruft. Some browser plugin of mine seems to be going crazy. Can't delete it! TRANSLATE with xEnglishArabicHebrewPolishBulgarianHindiPortugueseCatalanHmong DawRomanianChinese SimplifiedHungarianRussianChinese…

Here is my favorite playlist, it is by Jeff Sutherland the co-author of scrum. The playlist has 14 videos, but each one is really short, and it provides a ton of context that I find really helpful for folks just learning about Scrum. Why do this? What is the purpose of that? At 6 minutes a pop, that is only an hour and a…

Happy to help, if I can. I am a certified Agile coach (and certified Atlassian administrator). My company provides public training in many flavors of Agile as well as Jira / Confluence/ etc. We have also provided training and coaching for organizations like NYLife, SSA, and USAF. We use Jira for internal projects as well…

Not sure if I understand the question correctly, but I quite like EazyBI for making reports and dashboards. Just a personal preference. It is a plugin (aka "app") that works inside Jira.

Excellent summary! I also like the "children display" macro, it is probably the one I use the most, along with status and code snippet.

Ditto for me; I have not yet seen Jira Align in production but have attended a few demos. The demos have gone through many of the features but I have not yet seen a fully operational realistic use case "day in the life" showing how senior leadership uses the tool I would love to see a case study of some Jira Align…

@Walter Buggenhout Re agreements, you are right-- the team working agreements for remote teams are slightly different than for co-located teams. For example we all agreed to add at least one comment to each work item assigned to us every day, and to type in status information in the slack channel if we couldn't make it to…

I just posted a longer article on this topic here. 

Aha, it seems that Jira is paving the way for supporting an Epic --> Capability --> Feature --> Story hierarchy. SAFe standardized on that, and from what I am seeing it is becoming a bit of a de facto taxonomy for the industry, whether you use SAFe or not. This is a bit of a painful change, but it's time. Long gone are the…

If you are looking for something a bit more in-depth, my company does offer relatively inexpensive Jira training. Our training classes emphasize real-world examples and they include hands-on access to a Jira environment configured with realistic projects and examples. We partnered with our local PMI chapter for this. We…

As it happens, I will be providing a free hands-on JSM JQL training session at Atlassian Team Tour Government 2022 next week (March 1-3). My session is 1pm-1:40pm on March 3. Search for "Free training: creating internal self-service flows with Jira Service Management."

thx

Where can I get details for the NY viewing party? thanks!

Yep, quite familiar with that. At least at the Federal level, there is a level of security certification called FedRAMP (https://www.fedramp.gov) that is required (or perceived to be required...). To the best of my knowledge, Atlassian is working on that certification but not there yet. For that reason, government…

works perfectly! I can use "Count Sub-Items" or "Count Leaves" depending on whether I want to traverse the entire tree. I am not sure where "Count Items" came from but it is possibly some sort of custom field I or someone else made a long time ago. Will have to investigate that. Many thanks!

yes, absolutely. That is an excellent idea. I am putting together a Jira "linter" tool that will send notifications for stuff like this. As a developer, I have enjoyed lint in every language-- FxCop, StyleCop, esLint, check style, PMD, PyLint, etc. Why not in Jira?

We are thinking of offering a live 1-day certification prep course that would be interactive and hands-on, with fully populated test data, for around $200 online. If you think that is a good idea and something that you and others might be interested in, i would love to hear from you cstrong@arielpartners.com We have been…

Dave: My company Ariel Partners does this; we are located in midtown (I live downtown) and yes, we are listed in the Atlassian Partner listings. Your inquiry has inspired me to improve our listing-- it is way too bare bones-- so thank you for that! It looks like there are more than a dozen good Atlassian partners with a…

Thanks Neil for your kind words You are correct automatically emailing a la Jenkins "blame-upstream-committers" is not something that can be done via built-ins alone. For step one I was thinking of having (1) the dashboard available so that every team member could proactively see if they might have done something wrong,…

Here is the reply: "Yeah, scripted fields in cloud don't show like real fields. They show in a tucked away part of the UI and I'm not sure if they're even query-able. They certainly can't be shown on a board like we have. As a workaround you have to make a listener that updates a regular custom field. I've done it, but…

I forwarded your message to our internal script runner expert. not sure if he has worked on cloud or only server. will let you know..

single line should work, I think

Agree https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-65638 is the same issue as https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21499 but for Jira server vs Jira cloud. They appear to be two different code bases :-(

Custom Script Field Field Name: Blockers Template: Text Field (multi-line) import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkManager IssueLinkManager issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager() def user =…

I couldn't find the suggestion, so I made one. Please vote for it <grin> https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21499

Thanks for the great questions! These are done with plugins: 1) The fully-colorized cards are courtesy of the Ascend Color Cards plugin: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219454/color-cards-for-jira 2) To show linked issues we created a "Custom Script" Field using Adaptavist Script Runner…

No power up, just the built-in capability. We started with what came out the box, but ended up finding better images online and importing them. moneybags instead of $ for revenue, men-at-work sign versus exclamation points for effort, etc. We keep tweaking it. Adding company logos was a big win. Seeing a big FBI logo is so…

We use trello for our bid and proposal work. We use stickers to indicate things like how lucrative the contract could be (more dollar signs) or how much work it is (more shovels). We also use Agency/organization logos so we can quickly identify our target customers. It is a fun and lightweight approach. It is also…

The ScriptRunner plugin enables searching for issues added to/removed from a Sprint issueFunction in addedAfterSprintStart("ACES board", "ACES Sprint 2") This works in all versions Cloud, Server, Data Center. Hope that helps
