I have a *lot* of feelings about how little people are paying for “experienced #Jira administrators” these days. Far too many companies do not understand the connection between tools and culture, between values and process. A truly experienced Jira administrator does, and their job is far more than simply configuring projects and workflows and screens and schemes and screen schemes. An truly experienced Jira administrator is the person who translates culture & values into strategy and process. They must have the ability to understand how we work influences why we work, and that what we believe about work must be visible in the way we get work done. And yeah, they also have to know *all* the technical stuff too. And keep up with everything Atlassian is putting out and changing. They have to decide how each of those new features fit or don’t fit into the culture of your company, and translate that into actionable, repeatable, legible process and workflow with updated documentation. They’re probably also your trainer for Jira, and your front-line support. Oh, and don’t forget that they’re regularly asked to come up with brand new ways of using Jira, or to integrate with a product you purchased without talking to them, even though you knew you wanted to integrate it with Jira! This means they’ll usually be the ones to agitate for and set up a governance structure so the company can have a way of balancing business demands related to Jira against each other and they don’t have to become experts in every single part of your business just to create workflow. They end up empowering many other individuals in your organization to be better Jira developers and power users. They build processes to allow others to make changes safely and educate them in how to do so. And then they are *still* available at 3AM when the servers you won’t spend $50/mo more on go haywire because you’re still starving the JVM for memory. PAY JIRA ADMINS WHAT THEY’RE WORTH. They’re usually SREs, Support, BAs, program & product managers, and developers all in one. I shouldn’t be seeing job postings for LESS than $150k a year.

Jira is widely used for tracking different types of work items through various stages of development and resolution. The tool is highly customizable, but it comes with a set of standard issue types that can be tailored to the needs of various projects. Here are the common types of issues you might encounter in Jira: 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐜: A large body of work that can be broken down into smaller tasks (stories, bugs, etc.). Epics are typically used to organize work under a broad theme or goal. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: Also known as a user story, this issue type is used to describe a feature or function from the perspective of the end user. Stories are meant to be specific enough that they can be completed within a single iteration or sprint. 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐤: A task represents a piece of work that needs to be done. Unlike stories, tasks are not necessarily user-facing but are often required to achieve a user story or another task. 𝐁𝐮𝐠: Represents a problem in the system that causes it to behave unexpectedly or contrary to the specified requirements. Bugs are to be fixed and are often prioritized based on their impact on the system. 𝐒𝐮𝐛-𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐤: This is used to break down a story, task, or bug into smaller, more manageable components. A sub-task is typically only relevant within the context of its parent issue. 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: A type of issue used to enhance a current feature or functionality that isn’t necessarily broken. This could involve refactoring code, improving performance, or enhancing usability. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:Sometimes called a "Change," this issue type is used to track requests for changes to existing features or functionalities, often initiated by stakeholders or users. 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭: Typically used in IT service management or operations-focused projects, an incident is an unplanned interruption or reduction in quality of an IT service. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦: Used in problem management, which is often IT-related; it tracks the underlying cause of one or more incidents and aims to manage and resolve these root causes. If you are a Business Analyst and new to Jira then this guide will definitely be very useful to you. Do save it for your future reference.

Daily Jira Tip: Jira project does not neccesarily coincide with a delivery/customer project! A #jira project is intended to contain related work effort of the people working together. To follow work related to a delivery/customer you can consider using epics, labels, custom fields, or reporting tools. Let the team/s work in a single place, cut context switch and allow team members to take clear and quick decisions easily.

Recently, on my DevOps journey, I explored Project Management in DevOps workflows and grasped the basics of Agile Methodology. I learned about how teams collaborate with each other using tools and technologies like: 1. Jira & Confluence: Understanding their role in managing tasks and documentation. 2. SharePoint: Learning its function in organizing and sharing information. 3. ServiceNow: Change management and incident management. 4. Git & GitHub: Refreshing my knowledge of version control and collaboration. #ProjectManagement #DevOps #AgileMethodology #Jira #Confluence #ServiceNow #Git #GitHub #LearningJourney #TechSkills
