Automation has changed so many aspects of our working lives. Right back from the earliest signs of automation with the automatic water collection in Egypt or the printing press in the 1700’s Exelate shows us how automation is constantly there to make our lives easier and more effective. So with automation making our lives easier, is there ever a point where it can become too much? Is there ever a time where we need to genuinely think to ourselves it is time to stop? Well lets take a look.

Tech debt is all something I think we have experienced. While we all aim to not add technical debt to what we maintain, sometimes it is inevitable. While it may be inevitable, there are things we can actively do to better reduce and mitigate it. Last month Appfire and I had the privilege of holding a breakout session at the Atlassian Unleash event on this very topic, so let’s get going!

TEAM ‘23, THE FLAGSHIP EVENT FOR ATLASSIAN IS SET TO BE A BANGER!

This year, we return to Vegas, for what is predicted, to be with 4000 of our fellow Atlassian users. There are four tracks you can choose from, depending on your needs to help fit the agenda and event around you.

So that’s a wrap for here in Berlin. Atlassian Unleash was a blast for so many reasons, including having a chance to present with Appfire on reducing tech debt, so lets break it down and see what we learnt. Atlassian wanted the Unleash event to deep dive into the agile & DevOps experiences within the ecosystem. We saw the keynote focus on some of Atlassian’s newest adventures in the form of Jira Product Discovery & Compass.

This blog will give you, as an admin, tips and tricks for managing labels within your Confluence and boost search results.

Talented teams can create amazing software with great organisation of the product strategy and end user experiences. Jira Software has helped these teams by bringing them further structure to their work. However, developers spend their lives coding, and are often in Jira the least, which can create disconnect between the tickets and their code. This can cause headaches for product owners (POs) or project managers (PMs) overseeing the vision and releases. So how do we keep developers coding, but keep transparency for the PMs and POs to build strategy and understand current standings?

Jira has always been a widely customisable and comprehensive application. It’s highly useful in many companies because it allows teams to work in their own individual ways, without affecting other teams. However, if not properly managed, Jira can end up with huge maintenance time for administrators. This blog contains some quick easy steps on hot topics for how to get and keep your Jira under control.

When Atlassian first announced their new product Jira Service Desk, it was nothing more than an add on to the platform. Over time, this became its own standalone product. We review how the application has changed since conception and the future of the product.
