Hello! Excited to be here!

[Kyrstin Dittenhafer-Swartz]

Hi everyone!

I'm Kyrstin and I'm a Product Analyst in Pittsburgh, PA. My company is starting to lean heavily into the Atlassian suite, and I'm trying to skill-up to keep up in my role. I'm excited to find that Atlassian has such a robust Community to use as a resource for this! (shout out to @Summer Hogan for introducing me to all of this!)

Right now, in my role, I'm using JIRA (we've been using JIRA for awhile), Product Discovery (new to my company), and Confluence (new to me) heavily. Our IT department also just recently made the transition to using Jira Service Management. 

It's an exciting time, and I'm really enjoying the tools. But it has been quite the learning curve/transition for my company. We'll get there, and I'm hoping to gain insight out of the Community in order to help us do so, and then looking forward to closing the loop and bringing insights and experiences back here to share, too!

Welcome to the Community! I love you are digging in hands-on. There is a lot of real power when you embrace relationships within the product suite! Good luck on your skill-up journey!

Thanks, Josh!

@Kyrstin Dittenhafer-Swartz we know you'll become an active community member and expert of your craft if you're already name dropping @Summer Hogan! 

[Kyrstin Dittenhafer-Swartz]

Yes! I absolutely lucked out being randomly paired with Summer on the most recent Atlassian Conversations round!

@Kyrstin Dittenhafer-Swartz Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I work mostly in Confluence, but here are some these resources you may find helpful:

• Atlassian Community Events
• https://ace.atlassian.com/live-learning/ 
• Atlassian Status
• https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/resources 

You might also want to sign up for the daily digests for groups you are interested in. I've learned a lot of things by looking at other people's questions and answers.

Thanks, Barbara! These all look like great resources. There's SO MUCH content to get through!
