Everyone wants to do their best on a Certification Test. So lets share with the community what your best methods to prepare are. Do you read Books & Articles?

I'm currently working in an Enterprise Environment, but a smaller scale instance, which has very suddenly started to explode with growth.

Doing some Day Dreaming today! Assume you didn't need to make a salary, and all the things you needed or wanted were covered, including education, child care, etc, but you had to have a job -- what would you do/be? For a serious job, I'd be a museum curator. I love old things, their stories, the places they were, the…

So this one has been puzzling me for a while. When I go into manage add-ons, and I click on any of the user installed (read 3rd party) or the larger Atlassian plugins, to see the information to update or change keys, the information just never shows up. It sits here for 30ish seconds and then just looks like this No…

While hanging out in a large group of fellow AUG leaders after Barcelona Summit, my best kept secret was exposed. Amid the shocked intakes of breath and the involuntary cries of “that’s Not Possible! I Disbelieve!” It was revealed that I’m an introvert. Despite the beliefs my friends had held, seeing the way I interacted…

When I first started Administrating Jira, I inherited an older installation of the software. We have instructional documents that show screenshots from Jira 3.12!

It's the completion of the 3rd year that I have been an AUG leader and not too far off of my personal Anniversary of working with the Atlassian tools (3.5 for that, really, but who's counting? :D ) When I first became involved working…
