Setting up a CAB in Jira Service Management: the changes that skip it
Hi everyone, Back in November 2021 someone here asked how to set up a change approval board with six people, three IT people and three from the business side, and in a follow-up wrote "where is that Change Approval window ... I can't seem to find it". Gaurav's answer there, set the count when you add the approval, still…

What a Teamwork Graph app with Rovo agents asks of a Jira or Confluence admin
Hi everyone, More Forge apps are starting to read the Teamwork Graph and to ship their own Rovo agents, and the approval request for one of them lands on an admin's desk looking much like any other app. It isn't quite the same, though, so I'd like to go through what such an app asks for, what it can actually see, how its…

What to check on your bill when a Marketplace app changes its price
Hi everyone, We've changed the Marketplace prices of our two apps, Cost Slasher for Jira and Sentinel Vault for Confluence, and the new tables show on both listings from 27 October 2026. The price table on each listing has the amounts. What I'd like to do here is describe the shape of the change, including the part that…

Taking back unused Jira and Confluence licenses without catching the person who's on leave
Disclosure: I work for LeanZero, the company that built Cost Slasher, a Jira Cloud app for managing paid seats on Jira, Confluence and Jira Service Management. It went public on the Marketplace this week, so what follows is how it's designed to work and why, not results from anyone's site. Last-active dates are a shakier…

Our colleague taught Qwen3.8-27B to write Forge apps that pass Atlassian's validator, and the weight
Disclosure first: I work at LeanZero, we're a Marketplace Partner, and the model below is ours. My colleague Mihai Perdum built it, trained it and published the weights, and he's the one who measured every number here on tests we can rerun. I'm posting it because I think it's the most interesting thing we've done and it…

Before you trust an AI-built Forge app on your Jira site: what grading eleven of them showed
Disclosure: I work at LeanZero, which built this benchmark, and the model results below come from our own runs. In August a member here wrote up their experience of building a WIP limit app for Jira with Rovo Studio, and I've kept thinking about it since. The first version deployed and looked finished, yet in their own…

Your Forge function doesn't have to touch the file: one-shot upload capabilities for Jira attachment
A workflow transition finishes and something outside Jira needs to put a file on the issue. A rendered PDF, a spreadsheet, a deck. The obvious way to build that is to have your Forge function ask the external service for the bytes, then upload them to Jira itself. That is the way I built it first, and it is the wrong…

I tried to list what our new Jira Gantt app does that nobody else does. The list came out empty.
Disclosure: I work on LeanZero Management, a Jira Cloud app that went on the Marketplace on 13 August. It has one install and no reviews. I went looking for what it does that the established tools do not, could not honestly find much, and this is what I found instead. I set out to write the launch post where you list your…

Our Forge workflow condition never fired, and forge lint had nothing to say about it
Disclosure: I work on CogniRunner, a Marketplace app for Jira Cloud. This is a platform finding we hit while building it, plus what we changed off the back of it. Everything measurable here was measured, and I have said where the limits are. We removed a feature from our own app in July because we decided it did nothing.…
