    • A look back at a year of learning and teaching in the Atlassian Community

      The first article I posted in 2019 was Like the content of Confluence, our knowledge is never complete with some tips for editing Confluence pages and the start of an internal study group. I had no idea how many articles would follow (20 at last count) of which 8 of them were about Training and Certification. Building a…

    • Is it a Scrum Case Study or a mirror?

      I am working my way through this Scrum Master Learning Path and was tasked with reading a case study looking at why Intralinks failed at their first attempt at “agility” and how they rebooted to success by Richard Gratton & Dave West. (Read the case study here) At first it seemed like any case study ... "Here’s the rub on…

    • Beware: Halloween horror ahead

      You have been warned! Click on the links below at your own risk! You Give REST a Bad Name Enterprise Waterfall We're Gonna Build a Framework I love the combination of music nostalgia combined with workplace memories that still haunt my dreams :P

    • Confession time: how many of the sprint planning basics does your team do?

      As part of the The Agile Coach - What is Scrum playlist, there is a video on Sprint Planning Basics. The 3-step process used at Atlassian involves: * Backlog grooming * Sprint planning meeting (1 hour for every week of the sprint duration) * Creating action items Does this resemble what your team does? I'd score my team X…

    • Stickers!

      This discussion started over here but I thought it deserved more prominence. Share your sticker display on your laptop or other receptacle. Mine is a work in progress with more Summit 19 stickers to be added.

    • When was your Confluence, Crowd, and/or Jira last upgraded?

      Upgrades are one of the things you no longer need to think about when you are using Atlassian Cloud products. If you use Atlassian Server or Data Centre products, it is important to keep your version up-to-date so you are protected from any known security vulnerabilities and maintain your access to Atlassian Support. You…

    • Atlassian training is not one-size-fits-all

      Just as the Atlassian toolset is highly configurable to suit your way of working, Atlassian training is not one-size-fits-all either. The basics for Jira Cloud and Jira Server Are you new to Jira and want to learn the basics? There are 30 Jira tutorials (276 minutes) and 7 Bitbucket tutorials (85 minutes) available for…

    • The versatility of Trello

      Trello is the one Atlassian product I use at home, at work, and anywhere through the app on my phone. Earlier this year I shared a Trello board I created for Atlassian Summit 2019. Creating this board helped calm my nerves (I am not a seasoned traveller); gave me a back-up record of flight, insurance, and other key…

    • What does it mean when a certification is inactive?

      Atlassian certifications have an inactive and expiration date. Expiration is self-explanatory - once this date has passed the only way to get the certification back it is re-sit the exam. Certifications can be extended at any time by completing a relevant skills badge. So what does it mean when a certification is inactive?…

    • 4-day working weeks - yay or nay?

      Here is an article about an Australian company that stopped employees coming into the office on Wednesday without a pay cut. This relates to an Off Topic thread I posted recently that might have been better suited for the Job and Careers group. Would Wednesdays off work suit you? What do you dislike or like about this…

    • Valentine's Day - with an Atlassian twist

      I found a tweet shared on our company Twitter than makes me laugh every time I see it. I thought today as a good day to share it with you all. Roses are red. Violets are blue. Alfred opens doors for Batman. #EasySSO opens #Jira for you. Share your Atlassian themed prose with us.

    • If you could choose, would you rather work...

    • Mapping out workflow transitions

      It has been a long time since I have configured the transitions on a workflow from scratch. Yesterday I updated the statuses available in a board we use to track potential, current, and future customers.
