Happy Jira July ’24

[#1]

Hello Jira Community!

Welcome back for our 3rd edition of Jira July! Throughout the month, we’ll provide Community members opportunities to learn more about Jira, win team prizes, and learn from each other!

We’re dropping new Jiralympic themed content every week that ties the work you do everyday to themes that athletes and teams also experience in their sport. After all, Jira empowers all teams to do their best work but what does that actually look like Some of these activities include:

• ✨ Team Awards: Nominate your team for one of 3 team awards for marketing, design, and cross-functional use cases. Selected winners will receive a $500 gift card for their team to celebrate with a party or a get-together! To win, please submit your team via the form here and tell us how your team optimizes work with Jira! The Jira team will select one winner for each award at the end of the month and celebrate our winners via social.

• 💙 Jiralympics kudos badge: Engage with our weekly posts during Jira July to be awarded the Jiralympics Kudos badge for the month! Read on to learn how to earn this year’s exclusive flair for the celebration.

For our theme for the month, we’re going to talk about team sports and how being agile, having good communication, and having visibility across your team is the best way to set your team up for success. So without further ado, welcome to Jiralympics! 🥇

• Week 1: Monday, July 1: Cross-functional collaboration, gone swimmingly well
• Week 2: Monday, July 8: Staying in sync with Jira
• Week 3: Monday, July 15: Jira Admin Day and Jira July Bingo!
• Week 4: Monday, July 22:  Maintain visibility to score team goals
• August 5th - Announce winners for the team awards!

Our team is so excited to connect with this Community and help you all discover new ways to use Jira for all teams!

At the end of the month, if you’ve participated in at least three of the Jira July ’24 posts (and commented on each), you’ll earn our Jiralympics badge! No further action is needed from you to redeem this exclusive badge - you’ll be able to find the Jiralympics badge in your Kudos tab no later than August 4th, 2024.

LET'S GOOO!!

I have some questions about the Team Awards: 

• Should the marketing use case (e.g.) focus on how the team uses Jira? Or how has that team helped others using Jira?

About the Jiralympics:

• Where should I post each week's history? Are you going to link the weekly posts here?

Thank you @Emilee!! 😎🎉

@Huwen Arnone _Deiser_  Great questions! 

For the marketing award, we're most interested in seeing examples of marketing teams using Jira to organize work. That could also include an example of how someone has helped a marketing team use Jira, but we want to specifically see a use case for one of the many different business teams. 

We're going to update this page weekly once the new posts are added. If you have your own post to share, please mention in the comments or email me directly at espencer@atlassian.com and I'll add it to the post. We'll be monitoring all the posts associated with Jira July so feeling free to comment on any of them in order to qualify for the badge. 

Thanks!
