Jira is cool*. Really, I promise.
Working in IT-related industry for someone who has never been too much of a tech person is… challenging.
You can’t code, everyone keeps talking about ‘scrums’ and there’s a bunch of tools you have never heard of. Lovely.
But the higher the climb, the better the view.
Those past few months I have been accrediting myself in Atlassian solutions to understand what I’m working with better.
I have even recently passed my first Technical Delivery (that’s for the smart admin people!)
Now, with a new badge under my belt, I can act all smart and tell you what I’ve learnt:
🔹 Tools are actually useful.
Sounds easy enough but I mean it. Coming from the pen&paper person, once you figure out Confluence you feel like a Neanderthal thrown into 22nd century. In a good way.
🔹 Tools are not that difficult (but can get tricky).
At the beginning all of it seems so complicated, but after a couple of minutes you realize it’s more intuitive than you expected. After a couple of hours you start using the lingo and now you feel like you made it. Still once you start to scale it gets really complex (but I know a company that can help with that🤭).
🔹 Tools are better together.
Jira is fine, but what makes it cool is the integration. Combine your Confluence notes, your Slack, some marketplace plugins and voilà. You can focus on what matters.
Was there a tool/app that changed your day in unexpected ways? Let me know in the comments!
