Jira

Here you will find all the posts related to my work done on Atlassian tools. As of 2017 I have been working primarily as Atlassian consultant where I help companies in rolling out Atlassian tools like Jira, Jira Service Desk and Jira Software. I am loving this work as I get to work with many companies and travel a lot. Currently I live in London but I am from Delhi originally. I self taught myself to work on Jira and I gained expertise on it after doing several implementations. I also wrote couple of books, the latest one is Mastering JIRA 7 which is quite popular. Enjoy the posts, have fun :)

Reporting within Jira has always been its weak area. Although you can create dashboards in Jira with useful gadget and you can always rely on reporting apps like eazyBI but don't hesitate reporting outside Jira. You can always pull data from Jira and dump it to a proper reporting tool.

Submitted by ravisagar on

Project Managers love complicating workflows in Jira because they are not experienced or skilled. In majority of cases a simple workflow with three statuses like To Do, In Progress and Done is all you need.

Too many #Jira integrations?

Submitted by ravisagar on

It is great that Jira can be integrated with other tools using REST API but you should always monitor the usage of these integrations because too many integrations can cause performance issues.
