I can't claim credit for the title. That goes to Simon Sinek and his fantastic book. But, it aligns to my overall point of view when it comes to administering the Atlassian suite of tools.

I know this may be down the road quite a ways but being able to pull tickets in from Jira easier would be awesome. For example: The Product Roadmap template. Being able to point to a filter/project/advanced roadmap/JPD project and automatically pull in tickets in card format could be a great way to save time and provide…

Assume positive intent and always try to have a little extra patience. Relevance for today Everything has changed. For some of us, it has…

"Can you jump on a quick call?" "Can you join a meeting today at 1pm?" Boundaries are important. Your work rhythm is important. Context switching is the…

Over the years, we've gained experience, good habits, and probably a few bad ones along the way. ;-) All part of the job! If you could go back in time and give yourself advice when you were starting your first gig as an Atlassian Admin, what would you say?
