Hi John! That suggestion came from this help article, which I agree, is VERY vague: https://support.atlassian.com/organization-administration/docs/atlassian-intelligence-features-in-jira-software/. That article makes it sound like it is automatic that Jira will verify there are no duplicates before creating any work item.…

@Peter Cselotei - Lupus Consulting Zrt_ - I have good news for you! Just announced, you CAN generate whiteboards and databases via MCP! Please see: Whiteboards and Databases Are Now Supported in Atlassian MCP v2 and CLI. I love it when I get to give good news! :-) 

@Rosana Casilli - Let me know what questions you have! :-) 

@__ Jimi Wikman - Agreed!! I have helped customers with Jira premium add levels above an epic, which then lets subtasks be what subtasks should be - just a quick reminder of work to be done in that story... But, I do get that not everyone can use Jira plans to see initiatives, etc., so sometimes work gets "bumped" a…

Thank you, @Bill Sheboy, for adding the agile-V! I agree that both are valuable and needed, but I've certainly seen folks who lean towards one or the other... Maybe we can have a future article on my other favorite agile debate: work committed to a sprint that didn't get done IN that sprint. I've seen some pretty,…

Hi @John Morales I think the answer depends on what you're needing to do, and if you're using the plan for scheduling or for reporting (or a mix of both, of course)... If you want to use a Jira plan to schedule your PI, then yes, I would create a plan that starts on the first day of your first sprint and ends on the last…

@Jonathan Smith , I was able to replicate what you are seeing: editing the page to set the page status to approved triggers the automation that reverts the page to draft. I wonder about this - we CAN check who the rule initiator is, so, what if the automation on a page edit checks if the rule initiator is in the page…

@Jonathan Smith - We can have Confluence automation do that too! I wrote an automation rule that runs whenever a new page is published. It checks the page status; if it's any status other than Verified, it restricts the page so that it can only be viewed and edited by either the original page author OR anyone in the…

Ooooohhhhhh, thank you, I understand your meaning now! There is a feature request for this, please see: ROVO-107 - Enhanced Granular Control Over AI Features. Please take a look at that and upvote if you agree. NOT a part of what you asked, but while I was checking on that one, I found a related request that might also be…

I can't speak to Claude, so please let me know if Claude does this too, but I was thinking the Rovo agents are the differentiator? Via Claude, you can ask it to have a Rovo agent do something in Atlassian or any other connected tool. If nothing else, well, you have options and can use either to find the most efficient…

Oof, I am sorry @Andy Gladstone !! I will add your feedback to Dave's in my ticket to the product team... I am glad you found the article is helpful! :-) 

Thank you, I am glad you liked it! 😀 You are correct, I should have spelled out what edits you CAN vs CAN'T do with an active workflow. Let me add that now! You can add new statuses, change transitions to use different screens, and configure advanced transition options on the active workflow, no copy needed. However,…

@Dave LIAO - Agreed, and thank you for sharing your thoughts, I will definitely relay this to the product team! :-) 

Best career advice? hmm... For me, it was early in my career when I needed to do a presentation for a customer. Public speaking in front of anyone terrified me then - we're not just talking butterflies, we're talking full-size emus and ostriches... Seeing my fear, a colleague told me two things I never forgot: * Remember…

@Dave Mathijs - My guess is that you navigate to this via the product switcher to make it accessible to all customers no matter what Atlassian tool or tools you have or are IN at the time... I've had customers that use Confluence but not Jira or JSM but not Jira, so they would either need to add the Project/Goals menu to…

Back at you @__ Jimi Wikman - becasue you've now put a smile on MY face and made my day too! I am so glad to hear this resonated with you! 

Thanks for reading all the way to the end! I hope this article helped you better understand Atlassian Home... or at least entertained you for a bit! 

Because the editor wasn't letting me @mention folks in my draft post, I'm adding my thanks and gratitude to those who shared their thoughts on this topic previously! @John Funk @Josh Costella @Jack Brickey @Mark Segall @Mary from Planyway @Matt Parks 

UPDATE: 2/10/2025 I wanted to add an amazing resource I just came across that goes deeper on this topic, for anyone that might find this helpful: From Atlassian Success Central: Team-managed and company-managed projects 

I hope one of these automations can take some work off your plate!

Hi Veronica, For using Confluence during a Microsoft Teams meeting, I found this video that I thought might answer your question. Please take a look at this: Confluence Cloud for Microsoft Teams App Demo and let me know! While I was checking on this, I found another demo video created by Microsoft on using Teams and…

This sounds like a very cool project! I wasn't sure, were you thinking of setting up the site with demo data, to be a hands-on sandbox or were you thinking it could showcase live, open-source projects and you could see the work happening for real? It's a great idea either way, and would let you get hands-on versus watching…

@John Funk - apologies, just realized that I forgot to tag you on above...

I tested this out, and if I have multiple link types associated with Plans for dependencies - Jira DID associate the stories to the first link type, alphabetically, when creating dependencies on the Plan. I then edited the link types (Settings -> Issues -> Issue Linking) and you can add numbers to them to. change the…

@[deleted] - Have you reviewed the summary page of Plans? It's accessible from the upper left corner: and looks like this: You'll see at the top that it has a date range, which you can change. This view provides a nice overview of everything going on across all the work you've brought into the Plan. It's Jira software…

@[deleted] - This is from a few years ago, but I still like it as it shows how Atlassian uses Plans: How Atlassian Uses Jira Plans (formerly Advanced Roadmaps) The interface to Plans has had some changes since then, so you may want to reference these tutorials which should be more current: Advanced planning in Jira…

Hi @John Funk Did you mean link types with regard to dependencies? For dependencies, Plans uses the Blocks/Is Blocked By link type out of the box, but, you can add other link types as well to show as dependencies. Plans treats all the types the same though, it doesn't consider any of them default, though you'd sort of…

I just realized I should add something to my above comment. I am NOT suggesting that team-managed projects are a great way to get back at your Jira Admin for saying No to a customization request! Perhaps more as a cautionary tale for all you Jira admins out there - not to be so rigid your Jira users start creating…

@John Funk - I agree, I do think you should have to specify if you want team managed or company managed, this should NOT be hidden! And, while I know YOU know, for anyone else reading this page that maybe less familiar, below are the two very different experiences you will see if you create a software project vs a business…
