How does the announcement of the end of Server licences affect you?
In our last event in July we talked about migrating to Atlassian Cloud products and had a guest from Atlassian to talk about what is new in Confluence Cloud. In October, Atlassian announced that sales of new server licenses will end on February 2nd, 2021 and that support for Atlassian Server products will end on February…

You will often receive a thank-you for your time in the form of gift cards, early access to features/product, and swag. Here are some…

Nonsense rhymes and sayings from your childhood
Share some nonsense rhymes and sayings from your childhood. It is interesting how these often transcend cultures and languages. I'll post a few in the discussion but lets get started with something that works best said out loud: 1 1 was a racehorse (Wan-wan was a racehorse) 2 2 was 1 2 (Tutu was one too) 1 1 1 1 race…

10-week study plan for ACP-600 Project Administration in Jira Server
This course is often recommended as the first certification for people to sit as the training course contains all of the information you need to pass the course. All of the other certification prep courses are actually guides to what you need to study not what information you need to know i.e. it gives you the questions…

It is okay to not be okay - but please ask for help
A lot of people are experiencing life outside of their comfort zone right now. And while the positive thinking tribe shine with the buzz words, mantras, and reminders to be grateful, there are other people who are just not feeling the same way. Even this cute Facebook post I saw assumes the reader is in a position to be…

It takes a team of apps to boost our productivity in Jira Service Desk
On the Atlassian Marketplace, TechTime has apps for every team. EasySSO simplifies the login process and UserManagement allows Administrators to manage users - often working invisibly as far as most of the team is concerned. EasyTime, however, is an app that gets noticed - in all the right ways as our team members can see…

Be kind, stay home, save lives.
This is the official advice and mandate from the New Zealand Government. When looking at articles from overseas I have noticed (on the ones I have seen at least) no advice or links to mental health and wellness support. I'm curious to find out what other friendly and positive Public Service Announcements are being shared…

Brace yourself! Another list masquerading as an article - and it's a long one
There are a lot of lists out there right now. Making lists must be comfort in some way. I know I am a fan of lists especially when planning. The team meeting agenda for last Monday for my workplace had 4 separate lists, plus one by management. That seems a lot given that an agenda is just a name for a list with a…
