[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Hi all,

I'm not really that new to Jira, but I used to be!  I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped me out over the years I've been working with Jira, and everyone who is continuing to help out other new starters (and veterans for that matter)

[Liliana Koretska]

Hey Jira Community,

I met Jira three years ago on one of the techno projects. I also used linear and coda and was able to compare which team collaboration features work best on a particular project.  At the moment, I'm very impressed with the end-2-end testing integration.  At the Confluence very impressive feature set and libraries as well

[Stefan Salzl]

Hi @Liliana Koretska - welcome in the community,

nice to have you on bord. I‘m always interested im software development lifecycle tools, especially testing. Would be happy to hear more about your ideas and integration for end2end testing. What are your plans? Which integration/tools would you like to use?

Best
Stefan

[Liliana Koretska]

Hello Stefan,

Nice to meet you!

Each project has a small specificity as I understand it. However, if we create test cases, and then collect them into suits, then using the project logically, we can run end-2-end testing. What other plugins can be used depends on the tasks at hand. However, I will delve into Jira for my purposes.

Best!

Hi everybody!

• Been using JIRA since 2017
• Looking at using formulae to build jql queries and dashboards
• More dashboard options, and what can be achieved without $$ add-ons
• Funny story: People in this part of the world call it "Jaai-Ra" instead of "Jee-Ra" so I now have a shortcut to the correct pronunciation by Atlassian to share onwards.

[Andrés Sabatini]

Hi everyone!
Late introduction here but I've started my Jira journey around 2014 and now I have the role of Practice Manager for Atlassian Operations at my current workplace and as a Community Leader here.
Love from Buenos Aires, Argentina!

Hello everyone,

I just heard of Jira a few months ago when applying for an IT position within my company. I have been learning the ins and outs of jira ever since. Trying to become an administrator in the future.

[Ash Shetty]

Hi Everyone!!

I started using JIRA maybe in 2016. Almost all the companies i worked so far been using JIRA.

I would love to explore the automation side of JIRA features. This way be more useful, handle things more efficiently in my upcoming projects.

Happy to be part of the community. Looking forward to learn :)

[Diksha Ramteke]

Hi All,

I have been using Jira for 2 years now. I joined as an academy hire in my company, and I didn't even know what Jira that time was. They put me into working with Jira system and since then I am loving it. 

I have gained knowledge on Service management, software management projects and confluence. Now my company has introduced Atlas also. So excited to learn it as well.

It has helped me understand project management and made me confident in taking project management as career path for myself.

[Aresia Rhodes]

Hi all,

I'm not new to Jira, but I am new to Jira Cloud. I'm getting to know the differences between cloud and the on-prem that I'm used to as well as the apps available via the Marketplace for Cloud.

[Ken McClean]

Hello!

I learned Jira when the government organization by which I was employed decided that someone needed to manage their Jira stack, and that person was me.

[Amanda Barber]

Always love being "volun-told" to do something! ;) Hope you're interested in this work now at least!

[Abhinav Shilwant]

Hello Community,

I am absolutely buzzed to learn in deep about the JIRA software and the best practices that should be followed here. My journey with Jira has been started in the last 4 years. And I have been using it in my project's daily basis.

[Faizal Rahman]

I heard about Jira in 2013 initially for different purpose. I migrated projects from Jira to IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC). I think many would have experience in other way (RTC to Jira). My actual Jira journey started in 2017 with Jira Server. Later exposed to DC and Jira Cloud as well. It's been good experience with Jira and Confluence products. Trying to learn other Atlassian products.

[Ojase Emmanuval]

I am Ojase and I have joined the kudos program !!

[Roger Hughes]

I first got involved with using JIRA Server back in 2017 and then became sole administrator for JIRA fairly recently in late 2019.  So I'm fairly new, and have to fit this in on top of my regular engineering job, but am now customizing our flow a little more to my liking by use of ScriptRunner Groovy scripts.   We are stuck on an antiquated v7.1.8 until I can get some other aspects of our system updated, and will then have to get things transitioned.  So great learning experience.

[Danny]

Hello Jira Peeps, 

• I was first introduced to Jira in 2012. A colleague used it on a project as a bug tracking tool.

• I have adopted the Atlassian stack into my ways of working. Though the majority of my project teams use Azure DevOps (interesting conversations are had on a daily basis :D)
• Learning about new features and improving processes using the Atlassian stack, including Jira is where I sit I would say. 

Looking forward to the replies.

Thanks,

Danny

[Charly _DEISER_]

Hello Everyone

I am not new to Jira, but I am new to the group. I have been using Jira since 2012, I love most of its features and there are some that I hate (like any person that uses and configure it hahaha).

Looking forward to increase my knowledge and see other people use cases.

Cheers!

[Steve Long -Evelon-]

Definitely not new to Jira (easily 10+ years), but new to helping out in the Atlassian Community - looking forward to talking and helping people out on here!
