Answer Scavenger Hunt

[Bridget]

Hi everyone! 

For a fun activity, I thought I'd run a scavenger hunt :). You'll need to do a little digging on Community and find the best Q+A thread possible. I'm defining best here as:

• Has an AMAZING answer
• The Answerer has solved a really complex problem
• The Answerer has solved a problem with good humor and grace
• The Answerer has converted an angry/confused asker into a happy asker
• Etc.!

Once we have a list of great Answers, I'll make another post so we can vote on the best. (Yes, you can surface an Answer of your own)!

This is just for fun, and I think will surface some really inspiring stuff :). I will send a prize to the person whose thread gets the most votes! 

Cheers, and let me know if you have any questions,

Bridget

Hi Bridget, hope you are well those times.

I know that this one is not exactly what you are looking for, but immediately after reading your mail, I remembered this hilarious Suggestion from Atlassian Jira backlog :-)

Thanks for sending me back to that page @Tomáš Vrabec

Hi Bridget,

Such a great idea for activity! I found some interesting topics and answers ;)

1️⃣ The best answer which helped me understand connections between Epic, Stories etc. It was a great at the beginning of my journey with Jira. 

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Core-questions/epic-vs-story-vs-task/qaq-p/204224 @Mars (182 votes! - one from me, of course)

2️⃣ The funniest workaround which I’ve ever read. It shows how important is adding details to your questions :)

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/JIRA-How-do-I-change-the-full-name/qaq-p/142554  @Jakob Bagterp

3️⃣ The best solution if something doesn’t work for you. It reminds me the situation from our team. One day a tester created a bug in our backlog that the button doesn’t work in one of our apps. What did the developer? Remove the button 🤷‍♀️ Problem solved!

4️⃣ The best example to show what can be a topic during drinking beer 🍻.

5️⃣ The most visual answer which present a lot of us when people write "ping, ping, I'm waiting for your answer" in Jira tickets 🧐

I took up Monique's Slack challenge and worked on this answer for Gjakova Gjakova for a while. I like it. :)

AMAZING answer, @Davin Studer !

@Bridget - love this scavenger hunt idea!

I'll shamelessly highlight this Jira Service Desk question thread, which ended up involving Cprime's Power Scripts and core Jira functionality. During this interaction, the OP stayed in good spirits. The OP responded super quickly to my inquiries (which happened to be quick too, since it was after-hours for me) over a span of about three hours.

I would highlight the Trello teaser @Andy - PTC Redundant  wrote too. 🤩
