The Question That Sparked This Post Recently, I was talking with a few other Jira admins about what we do when we inherit a new Jira site or instance. One of the first things I mentioned was that I try to understand the governance practices put in place by my predecessor before I change anything, or establish my own…

Hi everyone, Really curious about the Rovo Agents you've built for Jira and JSM. I'm currently trying my hand in writing an agent that creates a set of manual tests from a User Story and its Acceptance Criteria. Would love to hear about your experience and how well the agent handled your use case.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working with Jira’s Custom Onboarding feature recently, and one thing that stood out is how effective it is at helping new users understand not just how to use Jira, but how it’s used within the organization by a specific role. In many organizations I’ve worked with, new users often struggle with: *…

Jira onboarding efforts often start with good intentions but quickly become inconsistent, outdated, or difficult to scale. New users are often left piecing together scattered documentation, long Confluence pages, or ad hoc guidance from teammates. While Jira’s new Custom Onboarding feature provides a structured way to…

Every Jira administrator eventually finds themselves mediating the same tension: some teams want the freedom to configure everything themselves, while others want a tightly governed system where every change is vetted and standardized. Both perspectives come from real needs. The challenge is finding the balance that keeps…

How To Inventory and Defuse Jira DC Automation Before Moving to Cloud If my previous post was about why Jira Data Center automation is a ticking time bomb, this one is about what to do next. This is mainly for the people who will actually have to deal with the details: Jira admins, system owners, Atlassian platform teams,…

Atlassian’s guidance and give Jira Data Center customers a clear message: Cloud is the future, and for most instances under 10,000 users, the recommended path is a lift and shift migration. Larger instances are encouraged to work with Atlassian or a cloud-specialized partner to explore phased or more complex…

If you are responsible for Jira strategy or Atlassian tooling in your organisation, your biggest migration risk is probably not what you think. It is not the issues, projects, or attachments. It is everything you have automated around them. This piece is for Jira admins, platform owners, and IT leaders who are planning,…

Hi all, Does anyone have both Sharepoint and Confluence in their org? Curious as to your content policy in terms of what goes onto Confluence vs what goes into Sharepoint. Looking to understand what the common case or policy is for organizations that have and use both products. Interested in use cases where sharepoint is…

Hi everyone, Following last month's announcement regarding ability to deploy multiple sandboxes, I became curious if anyone has taken advantage of this change. The last environment I've managed had JSM, Confluence and Jira sandboxes that were refreshed monthly, and sometimes before updates / major changes. Curios about: *…

Why Your App Portfolio Might Be at Risk With Atlassian sunsetting Data Center in 2029 as part of its Ascend to Cloud program, many teams still assume the migration is simply a vendor-hosted version of what they already run. It is not. One of the clearest places where this becomes visible is in your Marketplace app…
