Bonjour Atlassian Community ! Atlassian's Arc browser will be sunset this December, so their engineering teams can focus on its sister browser, Dia. Arc users are being directed to Dia. Are you an Arc user who will need to switch? Where are you headed? I also ask (to everyone): What are your favorite web browser/s, and…

G'day Atlassian Community! Last week Apple released their first foldable smartphone, and I'm looking forward to trying it. Naturally, Jira and Trello will be part of my tests! Microsoft released an Android-powered smartphone awhile ago, which I tested with Jira and Pokemon Go: 📣 What are your favorite foldables, and why?…

👋 Good morning Atlassian Community! Or good afternoon, or good evening, or whatever, depending on where you are in the universe. I'm still recovering from Atlassian Team Europe, and going through my notes from it. That got me thinking - what other conferences are worth checking out? Many of us have been to at least one…

👋 Hellooooo Atlassian Community! We all love R&R - rest and relaxation - right?

Hello Atlassian Community! 👋 It's time for another Welcome Wednesday! Have you been an Atlassian user for long enough where you were looking for a product feature and found out it didn't exist? Or find a bug that bugged you? Have you ever found a product suggestion or bug report in Atlassian's public bug tracker? (Did you…

Ahoy there, fellow Atlassian Community member! I've asked about your favorite chain stores before, but what about your favorite fast food chains? If you've got a penchant for satisfying your hunger quickly (maybe not healthily), how do you do that? I'm in Amsterdam for Team '26 Europe now, and I can't even figure out IF a…

👋 Bienvenue Atlassian Community readers! It's been awhile since a Welcome Wednesday has appeared, oui ? Things happen. For this week's prompt, we're asking: What's one thing that annoyed you recently, and what did you do to resolve it? For me? I was annoyed I hadn't posted here on the forums for awhile. However, this was…

🍆 Did you know today is National Eggplant Day? (I couldn't find a source, just many references and celebrations of this delicious veggie.) That got me thinking about emoji, and governance! 🔒 In some cases, the first thing I do when I make or inherit an Atlassian Cloud site is to disable the uploading of custom emoji. My…

The Agile Scrum methodology recommends including a Kaizen experiment per sprint: "…a kaizen item be prioritized in the sprint backlog" Examples in the workplace: pre-flight checklist, and enforcing deadlines (from Atlassian Learning) This tends to be related to work, whether you're a software dev team or a marketing group.…

👋 It's time for another Welcome Wednesday, a chance to chime in on the forums! (See past WW posts.) For this Welcome Wednesday, I ask: Are you a mixologist, or bartender enthusiast?

👋 G'day Atlassian Community! For this Welcome Wednesday[1], I've got two questions[2]: * What's your current job title?

👀 Did you know that July 14th was Jira Admin Appreciation Day? Jira is often the core of operations for many organizations.

🎉 Hej Atlassian Community![1] Ever heard of Swedish death cleaning? It may sound morbid (or metal 🤘) to you, but it's a decluttering method where you get rid of stuff you don't need so others don't have to deal with that stuff when that time comes. I think Swedish death cleaning is meant to refer to physical items, but we…

Yes, it's a holiday week for a few countries out there, but there's always time for a Miscellaneous Monday! How do you track tasks? Outside of work, that is. What do you use to stay productive?

👋 Hi Atlassian Community peeps! The idea of third place - a place that's not your home (first place) or workplace (second place) where one spends a lot of time is true for a lot of people, including me. My third place tends to be a cafe or coffee shop, depending on what city I'm in, and my mood! For this week's Welcome…
