70 lectures, 300 Jira-enthusiasts, and even an after party – all this is waiting for the participants of the 11th edition of Jira Day. This time the event will take place in Krakow and will last two days. I invite you all the more that one of the speakers will be me, and also … Rodney “The Jira Guy” Nissen. See you on October 17!
New certification and... new vulnerability from Atlassian
Atlassian has released another certificate for Jira Cloud. This time you can confirm your competence as Organization Admin. Importantly, the certificate can help you achieve the Atlassian Certified Expert status. There`s another information, which I`m less enthusiastic about: the Confluence vulnerability. It requires an application upgrade.
Do you use these apps? Be careful!
Out of memory errors, too many Java threads, application unavailable… is this an admin nightmare? Or maybe some “ordinary” problems that can be encountered using popular applications for Jira Server and DC? Check what to watch out for when installing some of them.
App review: Out of Office Assistant
Jira was intended for teams to work asynchronously. That is still partially true, but the times have changed, and organizations are more and more Jira-centered. That`s why, when going on vacation, you should consider reflecting your absence not only in Outlook or Slack but in Jira as well. And that`s where Out Of Office app comes to the picture.
Atlassian fires RFC and invites onboard
Your crush from elementary school speaks to you. You once hoped that something would come of it, but she/he couldn’t make up your mind for so long that the feeling in you died… The memory of it came back over the years like a ghost, appeared in random interactions… until today. A love interest from the past has found you and wants to give it a try. Of course, we are talking about a forgotten feature request, submitted 19 years ago, the implementation of which is to show an empty field in the issue view. Altassian announced that it is coming back to this topic 🙂
Jira`s wall of shame - don`t try this at home
Each of us, administrators, once made a mistake that we are ashamed of to this day. Reason? Inexperience, oversight or heroic attempt to meet customer requirements. I managed to collect the statements of several brave admins who decided to share their confessions. Check out what happened and how it could have been avoided.
