Surviving, Evolving, and Thriving on Your Jira Journey

[#1]

Where are you on your Jira journey? Most of us start out simply trying to survive the never-ending list of Jira configuration requests. I remember those days well! After some time and experience, you’ll create ways to make the configuration simpler and easier to maintain. Then you’ll start automating everyday admin tasks so you can respond faster and focus on more impactful work instead. When development and operations teams come together to collaborate, version, track, and automate, it’s called DevOps. I simply call it smart application management. It’s time to use DevOps practices to enhance your Jira management experience!
