Our annual planning, which normally is completed in the form of a 2-day offsite of the leadership team focusing on the goals for the coming year stretched into 3.5 days this year. Being a 'process' person, this was difficult for me. But the outcomes far outshine the breakdown in process and I am excited to share those…

I'm just starting the second year of my term as a CAB member and can say from the inside that ALL user feedback is appreciated, noted, debated and discussed in the CAB. We rely on the Atlassian Community - both Online and Events - to provide us feedback on the programs, experiences and direction of the Atlassian Community…

@Anas Ibrahim there have been some recent updates to the Atlassian Certified Expert Program you may want to read about here that will help you understand the current program and why that link is no longer active. Good luck!

Form submitted!

There is no statute of limitations on responses, especially quality ones like yours @Kavitha Chandrasekaran! I love the advice of "Get familiar with the tool as it will add to their skill set whether or not they pursue a career in IT". So many people make the mistake of thinking Jira is for IT or Programming Teams when in…

DO's: Make sure I have a good breakfast and get that first coffee bright and early. Also, make sure to go to sleep on Sunday night at a decent hour so I don't ruin my Monday before I wake up on Monday. DON'T's: Schedule any meetings before 12:30PM. Monday's always have a way of surprising me, and the more prepared I am…

@Kai Becker here is your AI generated image to remind you that you are up this Monday! The AI prompt was a nod to Atlassian's roots, and the fact that you list Bamboo in your community profile.

When I think about dental visits during my pediatric years my memory always floats back to the large prize chest our dentist had outside of his office. It was an oversized jack-o-lantern pumpkin - with bad teeth of course! Opening that treasure trove to pick a prize would always have my mother yelling and my brothers and…

Awesome! Remember to come back here and ping us in the product forums for any questions s you have along the way. May the odds forever be in your favor. 

@Niko Papamichail this appears to be a long-term issue in Confluence Cloud. The new date picker module starts on Sunday no matter what localization you have Confluence Cloud set for (based on the language choice). You can follow the issue here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-40619 Hope this helps, and sorry it…

@Mike - Dreamsuite Consulting you got it!

Breaking from etiquette here and double posting. Watching this loop over and over again just keeps a smile on my face all day. 

@Christopher Holmes welcome to the Atlassian Community. This is a site issue, and I have reported it to the site owners. Thanks for reporting it here in the online community!

@Samie Delebo - Your Gal at Gliffy I missed this invite, but will keep my eyes peeled for next month's session and join if my schedule allows.

@Jimmy Seddon you can be Poe or Fin, but I'm the other guy no matter which one you choose. My notifications are a bit wonky, and I was locked in an offsite last week, so your hug is a bit delayed. I'm ready to take down the First Order now.

I don't play video games much anymore, but when I do, it's on a PC using an NES and SNES emulator. So, I no longer have to blow into a Nintendo cartridge when it wouldn't load on the first insert into the game console!

@Nico Georgaki welcome to the Atlassian Community! I believe what is being demonstrated here is that the status update, if committed to each week in a timely manner, will replace the need for a status meeting while aligning all teams on the same information. Whereas before the status meeting was only servicing two teams,…

@Maniquet, Marianne (PSIN DM) - AF welcome to the Atlassian Community. This functionality was deprecated form Confluence Cloud in March 2022. After that time there is no native support for editing a Microsoft Office document live in Confluence Cloud. There are Marketplace Apps that can be installed to allow this…

Now that the bad weather is back in the Northeast US I have this weekly post and video back on my Monday morning commute. Don't worry, I was following along even in the good weather, but would usually be delayed a bit more in consuming the content. Great episode this week - I missed the Public Pages feedback opportunity!

@Kristian Klima thanks for posting. This is very helpful in understanding why some content just does not look like I expect it to. 

@Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_ thanks for this contribution. I am guilty of not leveraging the Groups function enough to ensure that the proper audiences are targeted with the content most relevant to them, and this was a good reminder to stop being so lazy and set them up properly.

Wow. This will make managing the update and recycle processes we have much easier. I logged in to a space I thought was suffering from some lack of love and found exactly which content needed revision. I'd love to be able to sort the columns by last viewed and last updated, but do understand that since this is working with…

Comment & Join is possibly the best combination since spaghetti met meatballs! Awesome updates here.

Wow @Hana Kučerová! They say art imitates life, but in your case I think life is imitating art - pretty cool coincidences related to puzzles. When my wife and I first got married we tried to build some jigsaw puzzles together. I don't think we ever finished one though. I personally enjoy crosswords (New York Times is the…

Thanks for stepping up and reaching out to me to take this on @Hana Kučerová. Here is your avatar!

@Peter_ Stacey how are you archiving the pages? The best method is to follow this method: Select Space settings, then Manage page tree (under Manage content). Select the boxes next to the pages you want to archive or delete. Selecting a page will select it and all of its nested pages. To deselect individual nested pages,…

@G subramanyam I'd love to participate in this, send me details when you have them.

@Scott Beeson it was auto-flagged. I read the comment in the quarantine and have approved it. The comment should be back on the page already.

@John Funk thanks for this post, I had not thought of this in years. I had a braided ficus tree in my room during high school. It's name was Fred. There were two reasons for this: * With the last name Gladstone, the Ficus was Fred Flinstone. * I had a married cousin named Fred, whose wife's name was Fern. Since my mother…
