Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_ Community Champion

Hello, fellow marketers! 🤘 It's the time of the year that excites me about the upcoming days off and makes me scared of the 'just another Christmas campaign' coming down the road. Holiday campaigns are one of the most challenging marketing activities, especially in the world of software. Marketers spend ages figuring out…

When time-traveling Marty McFly got stranded in 1955, he and Doc ONLY JUST succeeded in sending him back to 1985. It was all in the nick of, haha, time. BUT let’s just jump into an alternate timeline for a moment (you know, like Back to the Future II but without Rich Biff). And imagine that Atlassian and Jira existed in…

Part of the series about Creating a Killer Confluence Space for your Team: * 📚 Scaling Success in Confluence: Empowering Teams to Thrive with Centralized Knowledge In the ever-connected world of business, there are a few hidden clauses nobody talks about. The diminishing return on forced productivity, destroyed work-life…

I am very well known for my ongoing contributions to the Confluence use case knowledge base, but on rare occasions, I also help my own companies (ooops :D ). And I can't hide my excitement about having a group where everything Atlassian Marketplace is possible. This post is to introduce you to our recent invention:…

Hello everyone, Teodora here! When I don't write articles about my experience with Confluence, I work with super-skilled individuals to change how big organizations see and use their data. Follow me and Christopher Berry on this journey to improved visibility and accurate reporting in Confluence. ➡️ If you manage teams in…

In the fast-paced and dynamic world of modern businesses, knowledge is a crucial asset that drives innovation, efficiency, and collaboration. Every team, regardless of its size, needs a reliable and accessible source of information to stay organized, make informed decisions, and foster a culture of continuous collaboration…

As developers of high-performing apps for improved productivity, our primary job before each new initiative is resolving our own productivity issues. Recently we developed our first Cloud app that brought not just extreme pride and satisfaction but some struggles along the way. I won't lie; thanks to @Bridget, I start…

The active usage of Confluence requires not just contribution and alignment on a team level but a clear understanding of how your Space should evolve. Active collaboration is even one of the primary reasons that cause messy Confluence spaces. If you recently started a bold new activity with your team, you've probably faced…

It's been a while since I last posted about great company news, but what better way to celebrate the newest group in the Atlassian Community? Welcome to App Central, the place for any Vendor, Partner and Marketplace news. And hopefully, the place where users and partners can meet, discuss and collaborate on various…

Mentioning the word “Agile” these days feels like talking about sugar. It's a massive controversy, with debates and fights over its core values and effectiveness, and the number of opinions is greater than the number of actual users. I love a good controversy and speaking about Agile, so let me be one of these people and…

There is one single truth about life at our office: We Love Food! Yes, I know that this is inevitable: food=life. But really - we LOVE food. Lunchtime is a holy ritual, picking the right place for lunch a critical task and the person who is skipping lunch - a traitor! Almost everyone here is an expert about a specific meal…

It’s been almost two years between ‘coming soon’ and Step 2 — two years of disruptions, progress, regress, and knowledge building. Recently someone asked me when this Step 2 is coming, and I was a bit ashamed of providing a tasteless answer relevant to ‘I have no idea.’ Let’s fix it. For everyone confused about why Step 1…

Happy Monday, everyone! First time being a Miscellaneous Monday discussion author! 🎉 Yoohooooo, thank you, @Fun Man Andy ! 💙 Inspired by the latest Marvel story about Spider-Man: No Way Home (yes, I finally watched it!), it got me thinking... If our lovely Atlassian Ecosystem was an entire Universe, even a Multiverse,…

When October hits and the holiday season beckons with decadent treats and crazy amounts of support requests, it can be difficult to stay on top of both your physical and ITSM health! That’s why we asked Chef Becky to help us create a nutrition plan that’s easy to follow and effective in the long run. 🥙 In this cooking…

Do you know there are more than 120 page templates in Confluence? From simple to-do lists to more complex project reports and content strategies, Confluence got you covered, providing a carefully crafted library of building blocks. When I started using Confluence as my go-to content hub, I built each page from scratch.…

As a person who loves the active life, the gym, the weights, and the long mountain walks, these quarantine times are quite challenging, especially when I had a few records on my 1RM in the past two months. But, it is what it is. The best we can do is support the efforts against the crisis and stay creative in our…

Those of you who know me well may say, "Oh, Teodora, please stop digging into this.. all the time." Honestly, too hard to stop! I feel provoked by every new feature, release, and use case, especially by business users who feel Jira is not the right fit for their activities. Photo by Anna Bokova from Pexels As each new…

Yesterday I had an interesting dinner conversation dedicated to Marketing in 2022. Many marketers I know have already switched careers or struggle to find the joy of working in marketing anymore (and think about changing their jobs). I'm not an exception, though. I'm slightly bored after too many years dedicated to…

Hey, everyone! Did you hear about PM72 yet? An event born from Jexo’s desire to prove that no one is too small to make a difference (thank you, @Nikki Zavadska _Appfire_, for this line!). In a nutshell, PM72 Summit is a 72-hour virtual event featuring discussion panels and presentations by project management experts. The…

Atlassian Community, my lovely blue heart, next to my original one. 💙 🫀 While I was writing about the recent "10 Years of Atlassian" article, I faded into memories of the Community. It didn't take long for my brain to develop the idea of "how cool would it be to write a 10 Years of Community article?!" I entered the…

As much as I am sure this has already been used, I’ll pretend it never happened and reuse it: One thing by Old Street you’ll never read is “We are excited to announce”. One, we are barely excited about anything, and two, we are mostly digging around curios topics rather than just ‘announcing’. That said, Christopher Berry…

Problem-solving as a team is a problem I am desperately trying to solve. And reading Matt's session description, I'm sure I'm not alone in this adventure. Collaboration games often turn into Hunger games with only one who survives to keep the faith in Confluence collab. I passed the 1000-pages-created mark, and I'm still…

Or what to do when your box is no longer fitting your needs… The road to a successful transformation is longer than it looks at first glance. Each stage of the company's growth requires another iteration of the process based on experience, needs and continuous feedback loop. Nonetheless, there is one unpredictable…

There is one team at every company that is noisy, messy, and usually with completely different work processes from all others. Yes, the Marketing team. By its means, quite often, the Marketing team is the hardest one to transition to new types of working methodology because of the essence of its work. Deadlines, latest…

Advice: Always give yourself and your team enough time to think and organize your work-life schedule in a balanced and efficient way. Relevance for today: With the remote-first approach, we started to work more, stay up late, and sometimes lose balance. Take the time to optimize and refine the team's daily schedule and…
