Sprints are a part of the SCRUM methodology of working in a project. If it is useful for you, depends on how you organize your work. Generally, sprints define a period of time and a bunch of work that your project plan to do in that period. Just google for SCRUM to get an idea of that method and if it will be useful for…

Hi Winnie, what kind of error do you see? Without any further information, it is not easy to understand what is going wrong.

Hi Amit, I also do not exactly understand your question. Could you please add some screenshots to clarify your problem to us?

Hi Rajiney, it looks that you spent more time that you estimated. You have planned 200 (hours?) for your issues but spent 300 hours, so the difference is a negative value. Resolving this is simple: estimate your time more accurate, or work less ;-) (I know, this is not easy, don't take my words too serious, but this is…

Hi Madhavi, as Alex wrote, everything is an issue in Jira, but there is a hierarchy of issues, you can use for your purpose. When you use a SCRUM Board for your project, you have at least three issue types: * Epics* Stories* Tasks An Epic is a long-running issue that contains Stories, as much as you want. A story is…

Yes, it is. I've gone through this some months ago...

Hi Jim, this is a known problem. Look here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-34385 On that page, you can also find a workaround.

Hi Jan, question 1: add the field assignee to your view, not a custom user picker field. question 3: there are no roles on issues. But if you are able to categorize your issues to just a few types, you can assign different workflows to them. In these workflows, you can use different groups (not roles, since roles are on a…

Powerbanks are also very useful giveaways in times of too weak mobile phone batteries (maybe too expensive, don't know)

Hi, you can't create or change a workflow (scheme) outside the admin console. Creating and changing a workflow is a complex thing, there are a lot of dependencies and checks for that action. Why do you want to do that? Maybe there's another solution for your problem.

Hi Norman, unfortunately, Confluence has no form functionality. You can create templates, but I don't think, that they suit your needs. We use the "Scaffolding Forms & Templates"-Plugin for that. It works well, but is not for free. With that plugin, you create a page with template macros (also drop downs). Your users do…

Mod Chat is also affected

I think you can reach people much more with a booth (and some eyecatching giveaways that are not forgotten in any drawer after summit) than with a speaker on the stage. Since it is a community platform, the community should somehow be visible there. Physically or virtually. Swag - I love lego too, Years ago, I brought a…

Hi, I see the same in my confluence-cloud-environment. I assume, you are also on cloud? Please raise an error at atlassian support: https://support.atlassian.com/

Great :-) Unfortunately, we don't use time tracking in Jira, so I have no recommendation for that functionality.

Hi Scott, my opinion of this is: an epic is defined as something that lasts longer than one sprint. It is a container for stories. Stories should be ready within one sprint. You plan your sprint with stories, they have storypoints for estimation. A task is part of a story. In my opinion, a task should be done in a very…

Hi Russel, with plain Jira, you can't inherit more fields. There are plugins that give you workflow post functions to create a subtask, e.g. the "Jira Workflow Toolbox" (there may be others, but we use this one). Using this post function for creating subtasks, you can inherit every single field from the parent issue, if…

Hi Archana, seems, that your project roles were removed. Here you can add project roles: http://<your jira-url>/secure/project/ViewProjectRoles.jspa After you have added new roles, you should see them in your project and can assign users to that role.

Hi, I don't think that this is possible and I've never heard of a plugin that provides such functions. I think, you have to trust your admins.

Hi Jim, it's not too hard to implement this but if you experience any problems, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi Anthony, yes, it should. Do you have any problems with indexing your content?

Hi Ron, in Confluence, you can query the macro usage; http://<your confluence-url>/admin/pluginusage.action

Hi Ron, we are 1500 people in our company and we are organized, of course, in departments. Every department has some people who are my contact persons for IT questions (I am administrator). So, here, it is quite easy. If someone asks for an expensive plugin or a function that needs a plugin, I'm asking the rest of my…

Hi Ryan, congratulations to your new role :-) It's not the worst one, I think. Building Workflows and customize fields is a good start. That's a common job for a Jira Administrator. Users and groups administration and permissions is the next thing, I would look for. Get an understanding of using schemes in Jira (workflow…

you're welcome :-)

the recently updated macro can bet set to @all, or to more than one space:

Hallo Ibrahim, danke für den Hinweis, ich werde es weitergeben. Viele Grüße Thomas

Hi Christopher, you can´t restrict the label list macro to subpages of a page, just for a space. Why won't you use a new space?

you're welcome :-)

You have to exchange the old version of the workflow with the new version of the workflow in the workflow scheme, your project is using.
