Dave LIAO Community Champion

Since the start of 2021, Atlassian has been busy. Here's a three-point recap of what's newsworthy in the Enterprise space: First - Team is coming! Last month, Atlassian announced that Atlassian Team (previously Summit) is happening April 28-30! This (digital) conference has a series of tracks focused on ITSM, DevOps, teams…

...any Atlassian tool! I'll start with two tips: 🔔 Notifications * I've had folks ask me about notifications in Jira (aside from emails). In cases where you can't use Jira Mobile AND you have access to Confluence, leave Confluence open and see notifications in the bell (upper-right) for your combined Jira and Confluence…

This weekend I was reminiscing in the Atlassian Community Events group (link), and thought about how much fun it was when we all were together. Would anyone be interested in a low-key happy hour? 🙄 Obviously we can't have large scale events, but I'm game to meet a few folks on a rooftop this summer if anyone's up for it.…

Who are you? Hi, I'm Dave, and I'm writing from beautiful New York City! What's this article now? It's my Atlympics post about my experience with the Atlassian Community, specifically as a Leader. How'd I get involved with Community? I first got involved back when ACEs were called AUGs - you know, Atlassian User Groups. I…

Lucid's Lucidchart Diagrams Connector has saved my figurative bacon[1] many times. 🥓 Sometimes super clear requirements are anything but super clear, but I've found a Lucidchart helps show what I actually meant to my customers and teammates. 📌 Did you know? Lucidcharts don't have to be static - you can source data from…

Dear Work Therapist, Management often asks me to drive productivity improvements for teams or departments. While delegated authority lowers the resistance of those I'm trying to help, I'd rather encourage change collaboratively. How do you grease a guerilla campaign to galvanize groovy habits? p.s. And since you can't just…

Until we can merge Atlassian accounts - or associate multiple emails with a single Atlassian account - what workarounds do you use?* * If your company goes through a rebrand, or merges with another company - or both! - how do you deal with Atlassian IDs when they exist in both companies? * If you're a Jira admin for…

Polymetis Apps announced 8-Bit for Jira Cloud recently, and it looks like the theming solution my teams have always wanted. The UI is simplified to the point where you can focus on the content that really matters. Anyone a part of the 8-Bit EAP or beta and care to share any previews of what we're all missing? p.s. I hope…

Anyone here provide Atlassian consulting services (set up, migrations, training, support, etc.) and live in/around the Greater New York City area? Curious if anyone who does this and isn't listed on the Atlassian Partner listings, also?

Since last month's roundup, here's a handful of happenings I feel are worth mentioning: 1. Jira Work Management Atlassian announced the evolution of Jira Core as Jira Work Management. Managing work is near and dear to my heart - as important as project management! - so seeing this rebrand and extension of their core…

Naturally, many of us have attended Summit (now Team). At conferences, we meet others, we learn from each another, and we appreciate each other for our quirks. We also develop traditions! Have any conference traditions? Examples: * When you go to a city, are there favorite restaurants or cuisines you have to try? I have a…

I'm using Jet to evaluate a Jira Cloud instance for Agile readiness. What do you do if you start an analysis and nothing happens? I waited for way longer than three minutes, but nothing's happening...

I saw a post on the Jira subreddit, from a Bungie employee who's looking for an Atlassian Systems Engineer. I love that his/her name - l337spartan117 - is on-brand, too. 😉 Here's a link to the job posting.

I just imported a GitHub repository into my Bitbucket Cloud project. Bitbucket reports the import was successful, no error messages. * Markdown and code all imported OK, yay! 👐 * Images look like they're present (I see filenames and appropriate file sizes), but I can't view any images, boo. 😢 Clicking an image just shows a…

What are your favorite Marketplace apps, paid or free? * Are there any apps you secretly want to install on your Cloud instance, but haven't yet? Why or why not? * Of course apps exist beyond Jira and Confluence - anyone have experience with Bitbucket or Bamboo apps they love?

Curious, who's using Trello to power a marketing campaign, or Jira to coordinate their development teams? Mention your company and how you're using Atlassian tools to get things done. As a tooling nerd, I love it when tools or services I recognize come up in conversation. 😄
