This is a great idea. I am partial to things like random acts of kindness or making sure you tell people thank you. This is something I also do at work, like if anyone give me a suggestion that helps me out, I always go back and say thanks. We also have kudos at work to do this. I will try from now on to think of someone…

When I used to work in Summer camps, we had a tradition that on your birthday you got paraded around the dining hall, while everyone sang to you: Round the tables, you must go, you must go, you must go Round the tables, you must go, it's your birthday! Back around the other way, other way, other way, Back around the other…

Oh man, it is so hard to pick one. I really watch a lot of tv. I would have to say the shows that I can just watch over and over, also because I can manage to see them on my streaming platforms are The Office (USA) and Superstore. There are many, many more shows that I follow, using this app TV Time, but those are my top…

I share updates in our Atlassian community teams channel around once a week - 

I think it's also difficult as most tools, like Outlook, suggest at least a half hour meeting as default instead of more of an egg-timer type approach of just a few minutes

I have been asked recently at work what projects I would like to do and this really left me stumped! I am so used to doing whatever is asked of me, not really having a choice. I like this idea of exploring the 4 L's to understand what I like and what I am avoiding.

I like the concept, trying to balance values of honesty, integrity but also assertiveness and constructive feedback

I really like this idea of a dashboard, can you share an example @Darryl Lee ?

This looks like a great idea, will have to give it a try!

I tried to do an icebreaker-type session with my team but we just ended up talking about work. Has anyone else had this experience? Any suggestions?

@Yulia Zhyliaieva Hmm, there are some open tickets with Atlassian about JQL searches in the Cloud I found in another Atlassian Community articles - How do you search for an exact phrase in JIRA? (atlassian.com) [JRACLOUD-69263] JQL Contains "Exact Phrase" does not return the result as expected - Create and track feature…

Hi @Yulia Zhyliaieva . I don't know if the JQL is treating the full stop / period as a separator. Have you tried the advanced searching - Advanced search reference - JQL operators | Jira Software Cloud | Atlassian Support? like this: summary ~ "\"conferento.com\""

Hi @[deleted] I agree with @Julia that the ACP-610 and 620, the Jira Project Administrator are solid beginner courses to help you learn the structure of the Atlassian exams, and also the products. For me as a practitioner, it was also a good source of advice and rationale for how to keep your Jira system tidy and running…

Thanks @Saralie S. for the prompt. My post is up. Also, I love the little puppies, thanks so much. :)

Hi @Sierra Valdez , thanks for your question and congrats on deciding to get certified. I agree with you that currently, if you are only using Cloud and not Service Management, that there isn't a pathway for you to get Atlassian Certified as an expert. My understanding is that this qualification should be for people who…

Hi @Sharon Tan , are any more of these sessions planned? I only found out about this after the last one. :(

* Have you every tried / participated in a LEGO Serious Play workshop? Yes * Do you think this method would help you in your daily workshop facilitation life? I did it as part of a help to find work course. It was interesting because we did an activity where one person had the instructions and the other person was…

@carolyn french In one of my old jobs, we used a silly game like this in Teams, Gartic Phone - The Telephone Game, as an icebreaker. I know they can be cheesy but I think doing something together is a great way to get to know each other.

For me, it has to be the smell of freshly cut grass! Makes me excited for the new growth and more time outside.

Hello all, I'm Valerie! * When did you first time find out about Jira? When I worked at Bath Spa University in 2015. * Where are you in the process of adopting Jira? Only considering it or already implemented and looking for some extension? I have used Jira both self-hosted and Cloud for a while now. I joined this group…

Hello all, I'm Valerie and I am an Atlassian Consultant for atSistemas, based in Italy. What do you hope to get out of this group? I would like to hear all of the tips and tricks to try to support people to make changes to become more Agile. It can sometimes feel like the transition from Waterfall (or working in a…

@Saralie S. Does Teams count?

Also a bit late to the party, I feel like I have a good balance between work and my personal life but at work currently I am working on lots of different projects so I can relate to this gif a little, where I sometimes feel like the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing, trying to push everything forward at…

HI @Bharathi , thanks for your topic. I watched a lot of cartoons when I was younger and I would say one of my favourites is Baloo from Talespin. I can't get any gif's to work from Talespin so I will put one from one of my other favourites, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers! Have a great weekend all!

Hi @Jaime Netzer . Thanks for this article. I think it would be more accurate to say that you can get qualified or training in lots of Atlassian products but I only see that you can get certfied in Jira at the moment, Atlassian certification overview : Atlassian.

Hi all, I have been working with Atlassian products since 2013 but I am newest to JSM. I set up my first JSM project for an interview just over a year ago. I am also here to learn and share my experiences as a consultant helping people set up their projects.

Please can I have September 23? Thanks!

Hi @Swarna Mehta , there is an extra bracket at the end of the link for the Cloud roadmap that makes it break. Please can you correct this? Cloud Roadmap | Atlassian Thanks!

Hi @Laura Holton _ACE Manchester_ , I am available and I have some experience with Jira / Confluence Cloud and Cloud migrations. Please get in touch if you still need people on vknapp@atsistemas.it

There is a new version of the swag store here, Atlassian Swag Merchandise Store | Swag Home Page (rmglabs.com). I had the same issue, got a certification, got one tshirt. By the time I got the second certification, the swag store was no more but it seems there is a link to a service desk at the top of this…
