Come along for a chat about the ways we can implement Strategic Alignment between company goals and the everyday work the teams do using Atlassian's System of Work, streamlines processes and innovative Marketplace apps!
15 RSVPs
We will review best practices and little hacks/tips that are available for most users of Jira out of the box.
We will share real use cases that our customers are coming to us with (do reach out to us if you have your own story you want to share).
We will also briefly review apps and Jira Automation options that can make the alignment even smoother.
Snacks and drink provided to ease you into the weekend.

Irina Mosina
As a Community Leader with years of experience working alongside teams large and small, I'm always excited to share my real-life knowledge with communities of Atlassian Users. In my "day" job I'm a founder and CEO of TechTime, Atlassian Solution Partner and Marketplace Vendor.
Fun fact: I've worked with Jira as a developer when it was still just an issue tracker back in 2002! What a journey it's been!
About Irina's talk:
"Let's have a look at how Atlassian System of Work maps to the real examples of what our customers wanted to help with year after year: visualisation of work and effort across the whole hierarchy"
