Timesheets are a pain. Whether you’re a worker-bee who hates filling them out, or a manager who hates having to track down the people who haven’t filled them out – unless correctly managed, timesheets end up being time-consuming. The ideal would be to have work automatically recorded when it happens. When shopping for a…

Writing good documentation is challenging. You have to take something complex and explain it in a way that’s crystal clear. And before you worry about getting the content right, you have to figure out the logistics - where to stage your documentation updates, how to get them approved by your PM, and how to ensure that they…

Employee onboarding is always a stressful process. The hiring manager wants to get the employee working as soon as possible. HR doesn’t want anything to happen until all of the legal the paperwork is complete; and the employee just wants to have the space and tools they need to start their new job. You can use checklists…

Hi, We previously had multiple portals/projects to handle requests for multiple products. We reconfigured and now have all new requests coming to one portal, and have hidden the other portals from the help center. Occasionally, we still get requests to the old projects. Is there a way to set a redirect so that if a…

Hey folks, I’m trying to get a handle on licenses across instances in our organization and am a bit confused by the information on the screens. * For some products I can see how many licenses are available, but for other products it’s not listed. How do I find out how many licenses I am allowed in my current tier? * On the…

Checklists are useful for just about any process, be it creating software (you need a Definition of Done), running a business (here’s an example of how you can manage procurement in Jira) and even recreating. We wanted to have a little fun with Apptoberfest, so here’s an example of how you could use Issue Checklist for…

Your product backlog is a bit like a garden. When it’s well cared for, it allows beautiful things to grow. But left unattended it turns into an overgrown mess of weeds. Backlog refinement is the process of pruning, thinning, weeding and propping the plants in your garden - eventually allowing you to harvest some great…

At HeroCoders, we love checklists. Our checklist apps are the most installed/most used checklist apps on the Atlassian Marketplace.

I love a good list. Lists help you prioritize. They help you see progress overtime. They transform enormous, complex projects into items that are doable! Lists can come in many forms, but regardless of whether you’re talking about a checklist on a Jira issue (I'm with the team behind Issue Checklist for Jira one of several…

Atlassian recently made the forms available in Jira Service Management cloud projects. You can create forms that can be used either internally on the Jira issue, or externally on the JSM portal. The forms can include multiple field types, including a checkboxes. So when should you use a form and when should you use a…

In product development (as in life!), it’s much easier to think of things that need to be done than to actually do them. That’s one use of a backlog. You can store those ideas until you’re ready to work on them. But do this for a long time and your backlog can become bloated, making it difficult for the product manager to…

The last week of the quarter is special. Not because we’re gathering data and admiring our growth (though we do that too). We take a week out of every quarter to do an internal hackathon. What Does an Internal Hackathon Look Like? First off, since it’s internal, we are literally all on the same team. Our hackathons aren’t…

The great thing about Jira is that it’s almost infinitely flexible – teams can manage their work the way they want. It also means teams have to make some decisions, including how they want to handle the mini-steps that need to be completed in order to resolve an issue. These steps can be built into the workflow as…
