“Spend 25% of your migration project auditing what you have, understanding your configuration and the apps you have installed, how much data do you need to migrate, and if you even need to migrate all the data. Upfront planning is the key to your success.”
Join Rachel Wright and Manuel Pattyn from iDalko, a Platinum Atlassian Solution Partner, as we discuss Jira migration. In this episode of iDalko Live, we cover how to plan your migration, handle Jira apps, choosing the right Jira Cloud plan for your needs, involving end users in the migration process, and more.

“The way you should implement new things in Jira is to think about how you’ll report on those things. Always start with reporting needs and work backward.”
Join Rachel Wright and Manuel Pattyn from iDalko, a Platinum Atlassian Solution Partner, as we discuss Jira clean up. In this episode of the Atlassian.FM podcast, we cover how to start a Jira clean up, common pitfalls to avoid, and how to overcome common challenges like too many admins, customizations, or competing ideas.

World events are making in-person presentations impossible! Instead, we’ve shifted to virtual events and are excited to deliver “Best Practices for Managing and Maintaining Your Jira Application” to users all over the world.
You know if you don’t maintain your Jira application that it can quickly grow out of control. But where do you start? How do you make small improvements without impacting daily business? What should you do if your application is already a bit of a mess?
In this presentation, we’ll address:
how to set standards so you don’t have more schemes to maintain than necessary,
how to clean up schemes and custom fields when you have too many,
how to archive old projects and unneeded issues,
and how to track changes and customization requests so you have a record and an audit trail.
Atlassian Community Events are where users meet, learn, network, and share best practices. User groups meet locally and all over the world. Group members are newbies and veterans who like to “talk shop” about Atlassian software, Agile development, DevOps, software, and related business topics. Attend these events to network with your peers, share solutions, meet Atlassian Solution Partners, get special content from Atlassian, and maybe enjoy a beer or two.
The Strategy for Jira Tour continues! Our next presentation is a remote one in Atlanta, GA. Rachel will present “Best Practices for Managing and Maintaining Your Jira Application” at the next Atlanta Atlassian Community Event, on December 11, 2019.

Summit is the grand Atlassian event of the year. With the palpable enthusiasm of the employees, the knowledge of the presenters, and the immense networking opportunities, this is the place to experience all that is Atlassian.
With all the tech conferences occurring every year, how do you convince your company to send you to Summit?
In your proposal, answer the following questions:
What do you hope to learn? Use specific examples of problems you can solve by attending. Example: “I’ll learn about the new Certification program you were asking about.” or “I’ll take your question about X straight to the Support Bar!” Use the “continuing education” or training angle. You need to learn something new this year right? This could be cheaper or the same cost as other training opportunities.
What valuable experiences will you have?
Who will you network with?
Add statistics to your pitch. Example: How big was last year’s event? How many people attended? How many sessions were there? Who were the speakers and sponsors? This information is useful to compare against other events and communicate value.
Top 5 Justification Reasons
Each year I leave with pages of “new ideas” to bring back to my company.
You’ll get answers to your questions directly from Atlassian or from companies sharing similar problems.
You’ll meet fellow users, Solution Partners (vendors, consultants), and Atlassian employees you wouldn’t normally have access to. How useful would it be to have some Atlassian employee business cards in your pocket?
You’ll gain an “insider’s view” into upcoming features and changes in the works.
It’s a marketing opportunity for your company. You’ll hand out your business cards and wear your company logo shirt, right?
Budget
The flight and the conference hotel are likely expensive, so you need to prepare your supervisor for the sticker shock. Help soften the blow with a list of things your company won’t have to pay for.
For example, you probably don’t need a rental car. Parking in a major city is challenging and cost prohibitive. If your hotel is close to or in the conference location, skip the rental car. You’ll save hundreds by taking a cab or public transportation between the airport and hotel. List a big, visual $0 next to that line item.
The “meals” line item can be listed as $0 or almost $0 as well. Atlassian feeds you well on conference days. You won’t be spending money on additional food.

The Strategy for Jira Tour is back on the road! Our next presentation is a remote one in Boise, Idaho. Rachel will present her top “Jira Admin Mistakes” at the next Boise Atlassian Community Event, on August 15, 2019.
The presentation is based on the Jira Strategy Admin Workbook and its goal is to keep you out of what Rachel calls the “Jira swamp.” Already in the swamp? Let’s dig you out!
This presentation is different – it’s about strategy. It’s recommendations from years of cleaning up horrible Jira configurations! It’s about what you should do, what you shouldn’t do, and why. Hear the mistakes Rachel made as a Jira administrator and real examples of problems to avoid. Would you rather your application be an organized, tidy, and trimmed garden or a foggy, contaminated, overgrown swamp?
