Summer Hogan_q8imea Community Champion

Thanks for the great topic @Kristján Geir Mathiesen I don't believe I have used the server version of Jira and if I have it has been too long to remember. I do find though, in the version of Jira we use there are a few advanced search functions I used to use and now I cannot find them. 

I'll do that @Jimmy Seddon - thanks! 

Welcome to all the new members! There are so many people who join this community every week. It is so awesome! Thanks for the update @Jimmy Seddon - it looks like there is a Phoenix chapter, but no one has posted there recently. 

I wrote two: My backlog is small I have Jira to thank for All the great work done Sprinting and Sprinting Stories to work on today Close em, close em done!

@Andy Gladstone haha! That's funny! 

Hi @Marina Bloom - I have a cat, but I used to have a dog so I can tell you a story about him. He was a Shar-Pei and he had so many wrinkles. He used to walk down the stairs and his wrinkles would get there before the rest of him. They would roll over his eyes and he would tumble down the rest of the stairs. It was the…

Welcome @Shubham Jain - you have joined an awesome community! 

I would say Season 1 because that is the only one I have watched. Apparently I have a lot of catching up to do. I would see the notifications from Netflix for new seasons and I never got around to watching 2-4. I'll get right on top of that! :)

@Jimmy Seddon I'll take Sept 30th. 

I know I'm late to the party here, but wanted to share. The weirdest drink I have ever tried is a White Russian and while I don't exactly like Russia right now, I like the story. My late husband used to love the Big Lebowski and one time we were at the grocery store and he wanted to get the ingredients to try one. So, we…

@Monique vdB I love it here! 

Awesome! Thanks @Saralie S. for keeping us all informed! 

These activities are awesome! I can't wait to start! #JiraJuly

Thank you so much @Monique vdB and @Saralie S. - thanks so much! I see the badges in my kudos profile now. Thanks for the quick response and fix! 

You go @Patrícia Fortunato Montenegro - that's a lot of stuff you have in your routine to keep you on track! I Love your positive message! 

Yes @Sue Wilson I totally agree about the "extras" as we also get early release (2-3 hours early) before every holiday and I try my best to give this to my contractors at least twice a year as well! It's the little things that count! 

@Monique vdB - If it helps, here are 5 posts I commented in: * Play of the Month: Don’t skip that project kickoff meeting! * Plays of the month: Prioritize your team’s health before prioritizing the next project * Play of the month: The best teams are always learning! * Plays of the Month: How to tackle common teamwork…

Thank you @Monique vdB 

I agree with all the above sentiments and ideas as well! I try to do a good job at literally everything I do. If I am not going into it thinking that way then I think "what is the point?" We have a lot of built in breaks where I work. We end all meetings 5-10 minutes early to give time for a quick stretch break or get some…

He's a cutie! 

@Christine P. Dela Rosa - love it! Thanks! 

@Meg Bailey - do you know when the July activities will be availble?

Welcome @Chu Dam - great to get to know you! 

Well this recent quiz I took told me I am most like Belle! It said "You're smart, caring and brave. You might be a little different than everyone else, but that's because you dream bigger." and that is all true, although I look nothing like her! 

@Andy Gladstone yes I love Virgin Pulse! We used to have Vitality, but Virgin Pulse is so much better and it comes with the Virgin mall, which has tons of great products you can buy! Camelback Mountain in Phoenix, Arizona! Echo Canyon train takes you all the way to the top so you can look down at the valley and see all the…

Hi everyone, Happy Thursday since I missed this discussion last week. I wear an Apple Watch and I keep my data private except to share it with Virgin Pulse, which is our corporate wellness program where we can earn up to $500 a year for exercising and doing wellness activities. It is really hard here in Arizona to do any…

Great article! Thanks for the advice! With a fully remote workforce and never having met any of my coworkers, I am shocked at how I have gained relationships with my team and gotten them to trust me. 

I know this is an old article, but I love the idea of the Problem Framing! I could really use something like this so thanks @Kristen Roth

Great article @Kristen Roth I do something similar with my team to gauge our strengths and weaknesses, but overall I am lucky and have a great team. We finish almost every sprint with all features/stories complete. It is rare we have any carry over, so I think my team is very cohesive and strong. 

Great idea! And great advice!
