As I'm writing this, we are one week out from Team 2021 - the rebranding of what we called Summit in years past. While the keynotes are usually exciting…

More Rules of Thumb - thejiraguy.com X-Post
Back in September, I came to my readers asking for any rules of thumb they use. And boy, did you deliver! Back then, I published eight of them in a piece that made me incredibly proud.

Jira Cloud Surprises for Server Admins - thejiraguy.com X-Post

Jira and the Content Delivery Network - thejiraguy.com X-Post

What’s the deal with Jira Cloud? (X-Post from The Jira Guy Blog)
(Originally posted here) So, a few weeks ago, I was contacted by Jira Gal Heather Rimmey. She had seen a comment I had written in reply to someone's comment about Jira Cloud and Jira Server. It turns out she was having the same discussion with management and wondered if I had any thoughts on the differences between the two…
