Happy Wednesday Everyone! As we all know, Team '23 is only a few weeks away and I wanted to use this opportunity to share a few tips for everyone planning to attend in person. #1 Planning your schedule: If this is your first time attending an Atlassian Team event in person, you will see that you can completely fill your…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! It is the first day of March! (shameless self plug - if you haven't checked out the Community Round Up for Feb. go do that!) One other thing that is great about today is that later this evening I get to watch the first episode of The Mandalorian - Season 3! I have been waiting for this ever since…

Happy Friday Everyone! I’m usually running around behind the scenes and it has been quite some time since I have had the pleasure to welcome you all to the start of the weekend! You may or may not have heard that recently, Netflix has rolled out some account changes in Canada. This has been met with a lot of backlash and…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! If you have never heard Atlassian's podcast Work Check, you need to go check it out. Season 3 kicked off yesterday and they have started with a great debate! Should you turn your camera on in video calls? Now, before everyone starts jumping in to answer there were some starting assumptions that…

You are probably going to hear a lot about Team '23 as we keep getting closer to the biggest event of the year! World class instructors will be teaching the courses! Let’s kick things off with the most important point, you will be taught by people who know the content inside and out. If you haven’t been a part of an…

Hello Everyone! I've been doing a lot of searching both here and on Google and I haven't found any really good leads for a solution.The problem I'm trying to solve is that we have a Jira Service Management project for our support team and a Jira Software project for our development team. When a bug is reported in JSM and a…

A number of Atlassian Marketplace Vendors & Solution Partners will be gathering together to provide a sneak peek of information that will be shared at Team '23 ahead of the actual event!

Happy Wednesday Everyone! In case you didn't hear, yesterday was "Pi" day, being that March 14th can look like the first three digits of the mathematical constant. This is typically celebrated with people making and consuming "Pie" being a pun for the same. Did you celebrate this? And if so, what kind of pie did you have?…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Yesterday Atlassian officially opened registration for Team '23! As someone who has attended both virtually and in person in the past, I can honestly saw that attending in person is an extremely valuable experience if you are able to. The ability and opportunity to interact with people that are…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Honestly, it's hard to come up with a new and engaging topic every single week. At times I will reuse posts that I haven't done in a year or so. Other times, I feel we can al use some encouragement and I feel it's the right time to simply offer virtual hugs! Things can get hard, but one thing you…

From major events, to product announcements, to amazing people providing great tips & best practices to help the Community, I guarantee there is…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! I have never been a fan of "New Year's Resolutions". I think that stems from the negative stigma around the fact that you are going to try to fix a bad habit or make an improvement without the desire or motivation to actually follow through on that change. What I am a fan of is trying new things,…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! One of the most powerful capabilities of the Atlassian products is the tight feature rich integrations between the various products in the Atlassian portfolio. I was first introduced to Jira, when one of my previous companies decided to move from free tools to paid tools. They purchased a Jira &…

Happy Monday Everyone! There are tons of people I know who are all celebrating birthdays this month. I thought instead of a question this week, I would share some random facts from the internet. First, the origins of celebrating birthdays. From a number of sources it would appear that the first celebrations related to…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Yesterday was my first day back at work after two weeks of vacation. I don't normally take longer periods of time off because I find it can take a long time to get ramped back up on everything that has happened while I was gone. However, I discovered that things weren't so bad this time as most of…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! I was chatting with some people the other day about Imposter Syndrome (I don't remember how that topic came up), and I made the recommendation that they should really check out Mike Cannon-Brookes TED Talk on the topic. I will also say that anyone here who has not seen it, should take a few…

For those of you that have taken some time off during the holidays, (like me) I hope you have had a very relaxing time and you are ready to dive right into 2023.

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Recently, I have been introduced to some newer locally made hot sauces. I didn't used to be big on spicy food, but I'm starting to enjoy it more. My question for you this week is if you are a fan of spicy food and if so, how hot do you like it? I will say that I'm probably in the low-mid range of…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! By pure luck, today just happens to be my 2nd anniversary at my company. In the past, celebrating anniversaries has been something that was done as an employee led and organized excursion. In the past I have down a number of things to celebrate from bringing in a few dozen donuts to making French…
