πŸ“š Why we wrote a children's book for Jira admins!

Blake Thorne April 17, 2023

πŸ‘‹ Looking after your company's Jira instance is important work.

But if you have young kids at home it can be ... hard to really share this enthusiasm with them.

Until now!

The book: "Mr. J Saves the Day"

"Mr. J Saves the Day" is about a young girl named Connie who becomes sad when her mother goes away for work. With the help of her father, they make a movie to surprise Connie’s mom. However, when they have technical difficulties sending the video, a hero named Mr. J steps in to coordinate a response and save the day.

Why a kid's book?

We’re attending Team 23 this week! When we sat down to plan for the event, we knew one thing for sure: We didn’t want to give out just another piece of conference swag that too-often ends up right in the trash. We’d rather ship something of substance that people might actually hang on to. Our top priority with this project was to make it look and feel like a real kids book, something we’d actually read to our own kids!

About us

We’re the team behind LaunchNotes, which has a brand new app in the Jira marketplace called Gravity. Gravity leverages AI to help you identify themes, expose trends, and surface actionable insights buried in your Jira backlog.

Want a copy?

If you’re at Team 23 this week, come say hi! We’re bringing 500 copies and we’ll give them out for free until they’re gone. We’ll be at the Atlassian Ventures booth on Wednesday morning. Also, Wednesday from 5:30-7 pm we’re sponsoring a party right outside the expo hall in Buddy V’s Ristorante.

We’re also exploring ways of making this book available to ship to you! So if you’re not at Team but interested in a copy, let us know in the replies and we’ll reach out to you directly as soon as there’s news to share.

Thank you so much! Go Team!

Sounds great @Blake Thorne! An ebook or PDF version would be fantastic for me since I won't be able to attend Team '23 this year. And I love reading on my iPad.

Cheers Krimo

Loved the book! Thanks for putting it together in an engaging way that helped me explain the bug fix process to my 9 year old daughter.
