📰 Enterprise Group Roundup: April 4th, 2021

[#1]

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 offering (see what I did there?) was a welcome surprise.

• Learn about Jira Work Management's features and sign up for the waitlist
• Chime in on the Jira Work Management announcement on Community

2. Atlassian to rename Next-gen to team-managed projects

Yes, there's still a hyphen in the name. But we no longer have to worry about whether we should capitalize "Next" or not! Classic projects will be renamed to company-managed projects. Learn more.

3. Jira Data Center 8.16 was released

Released March 23rd, the latest version of Jira DC supports multiple Identity Providers for those who need it. There's also further indexing improvements. Peep the release notes. 🐥

4. Data Residency coming to more Cloud plans

The ability to store your data in specific geographic locations is coming to Standard and Premium plans. Currently Data Residency is only available on Cloud Enterprise plans.

5. Feeling social? Say "hi" in our new Intro thread!

6. Reminder: Team Tour is April 28-April 30th! Have you signed up yet? Take a look at the sessions and tracks on offer.

What were your takeaways for March? Did I miss something? What are you looking forward to? 

Dave is a volunteer Enterprise group lead. When he's not spelunking in Jira, he's dreaming about his next cup of coffee.

@G subramanyam - thank you sir!

• The summary on Atlassian training options is useful, and I hadn't even heard of the Public Classes option yet!
• Naturally Atlassian Forge now in GA is useful for companies that invest in custom development.

Hi @Dave Liao as part of upcoming virtual event 2021, the study group is planned in the coming months. For specific month, you need to sign up for the Certification Accelerator Experience. And regarding the public classes (SkillShareAotearoa), I believe that is not for global audience and it's only for local city chapter.
