My kids are involved in so many different activities in the summer to keep them busy. Unfortunately, that also means I'm kept busy as their chauffeur! 🚕🙃 My youngest is doing some really fun enrichment summer school activities including a performance of The Lion King Kids - can't wait to see how it turns out - she's…

@Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM - if they bring the feel-good vibes, then I say bring 'em on! 🎧

During today's webinar, this bunch of tips stuck out most to me as something I'd like to try to be better at: 💬 Share information async: Post regular updates on your top priorities and how they connect to company goals. Replace status meetings with clear written updates or short videos. 💬 Lead with context: When you do…

Submitted, @Dave LIAO - Just the novice level, but it was fun to get into the support docs and give it a whirl.

So beautiful, @Stephen_Lugton 🤩

Cheers to beautifully organized ideas! 🥂💡

Woooohoo, checking it out - thanks, @Dave LIAO for the nudge.

😜😭🤭

The learning paths are a great way to learn and complete quick checks for your understanding throughout. Like, @Mohanraj Thangamuthu mentioned, if you're looking for an actual certification, you could check out https://community.atlassian.com/learning/certifications/jira-software-essentials for an exam. 

Thanks for sharing these updates, @SilkeS! 

Since moving into software development, I've been part of literally agile teams, rather than Agile™️ teams. I think the key for all of my teams has been the ability to be flexible and/or nimble when needed, make shorter term plans with longer term goals in mind, and be open to continuous improvement around our ways of…

I'll second what @Dave LIAO said, @Brittany Joiner - you'll rock the half marathon. And then, I bet you take on a full. I've done three. First, to prove I could. Then, because I forgot about the suck two more times. :-D

The roadmap and timeline views are such a draw for premium! 

Loved learning about this way of using JPD. I'd really like to come back to using JPD to better visualize team capacity.

Finally getting back to watching the recording after some PTO this week. 🤩 Hierarchies with the types looks really cool. I currently do something similar in my Project/Goals and would love this to be able to carry over to JPD. 🗺️ Roadmaps standardized? Beautiful idea! Gotta love that timeline view, too. Also, I'm newer to…

Awesome, @Kythera, hope your market is a success!! 

Sounds beautiful, @Susan Waldrip - I love our gardens at this point in the summer, too.

Woah, yours looks way more fun than mine, haha!

Oof, that's toasty! We're planning on taking our kiddo to see Elio this weekend to stay cool. 

I run, but am currently on a hiatus due to an injury. Hopefully, I'll get to start back at it in a few more weeks! My favorite race here in Milwaukee is the Storm the Bastille 5K. It's at night and we get to run the city streets - I especially love running down the center of a specific street that give you the perfect view…

I'm unfortunately on a running hiatus due to injury, but do love a good early morning run on these summer days. Although, it's often so humid here in the mornings that it makes it difficult, too! Some days, I love a good midday run - I just keep it short and drink plenty of water. Stay cool, @Tomislav Tobijas! 

I've never been anywhere on that end of the United States. I hope it's a lovely day in Idaho!

My husband works in our basement and is often surprised at just how different it is upstairs on our main level. Thankfully, we do have air conditioning, but we tend to keep it pretty warm during the day - nothing worse than going in and out from cold to hot. Stay cool, @Stephen_Lugton!

Wish I could send you some of our heat, @Daria Kulikova_GitProtect_io! Hoping that cyclone gets on its way soon. 🌀 

Sounds like a perfect way to spend a summer day, @Anahit Sukiasyan! 

Growing up, we tent camped every summer. It never failed - it always rained for a day or two during our annual trips. Now, we usually go once or twice a summer with our own kids. We're currently still tent camping but have considered a pop-up. We go for this year's only planned camping trip next weekend!

Excited for this! Hoping to join live for this one.

@Christina Brashear - any update on the kudos for this?

I just have seasonal allergies that allergy meds mostly address, thankfully. My cousin's kiddo has some more severe food allergies which has really rocked our family meals. We make it work, but planning around dairy, eggs, and nuts has been tricky!

Awesome, thank you so much @Mahima_miniOrange - appreciate it!
