Jira Dashboards in Confluence Going Where The Leaders Are
<p>Jira Dashboards in Confluence Going Where The Leaders Are</p> <p><a href="https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/jira-dashboards-in-confluence" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/jira-dashboards-in-confluence</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>If you manage teams in Jira, Jira dashboards are at the heart of everything you do. That’s why you should consider making dashboards in Confluence, too.<br>But you can’t make a Jira dashboard in Confluence… can you?<br>Let’s say you’re a software team practicing Scrum software development. Your Scrum Masters use Jira dashboards for sprint planning, daily standups, demos of work completed in sprints, retros, and reporting to leadership.<br>The main thing your leaders want to know is whether there are any impediments, i.e. anything blocked or at risk that would require them to allocate extra resources or address a production problem. But senior managers don’t normally work in Jira, and yet they need to see Jira reports to understand these impediments. Often, where you will find those executives is Confluence. So, to make sure they know what the Jira teams are doing, you can recreate your Jira dashboards in Confluence.<br>Because Jira and Confluence are both Atlassian tools, they’re super-easy to integrate so that you can report on Jira issues on Confluence pages. This enables you to recreate your dashboards on a Confluence page. You can use preconfigured native chart macros like Sprint Health, Sprint Burndown, and Average Age of Issues. <br>And you can use Custom Jira Charts for Confluence for everything else you’d like to show. Custom Jira Charts for Confluence is the mirror image sister app of Custom Charts for Jira, which enables users to build from scratch or a template any kind of chart they like out of their Jira data. <br>What’s particularly useful is that you can do it right there on the Confluence page, rather than in a separate platform.<br>Your VPs and directors might want to keep these Confluence dashboards open on one monitor as an information radiator, so they can continuously monitor things like sprint health and at-risk projects across all teams in real time. Then they can make sure, for example, that if a certain team is behind, that team needs to be left alone.<br>Using Confluence for better data storytelling<br>Some people who do reporting forget that it’s not enough to show your audience a bunch of pretty bar charts without any context or explanation. <br>Once you’re done with the data visualization, the charts themselves, the next step is data storytelling, crafting a narrative that those charts demonstrate.<br>One of our customers started making Jira dashboards on Confluence pages, and then they realized they could use Confluence to make better, more detailed data stories. <br>So they started making “Updates from the Scrum Master” and “Sprint Goals” pages in Confluence, using the project templates, to provide an explanation for what is going on in the charts. <br>For example, a 2D stacked bar chart built with Custom Jira Charts for Confluence can spotlight items that are at risk or may not be in progress yet, and the Updates from the Scrum Master notes can explain why the team is so far behind on them.<br>This customer started to prefer reporting in Confluence because there’s no native way of embedding a Confluence page like the “Updates” ones in a Jira dashboard. <br>But they eventually found a way to do it with Amazon Web Services, and now their Jira teams have the same level of clarity about their reports.<br></p>

5 Lessons For Agile Planning in Jira
<p>5 Lessons For Agile Planning in Jira</p> <p><a href="https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/jira-dashboards-for-planning" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/jira-dashboards-for-planning</a><br>In this episode, we will be discussing five important lessons for agile planning in Jira, and some tips on how to improve planning in the platform.<br>Planning in native Jira can be challenging, and can lead to issues and confusion, as we experienced in my previous company. However, better planning can make all the difference, and digital whiteboard tools for Jira, as well as Jira dashboards, can help to streamline the process.<br>To get better at agile planning, it's important to shift from a "waterfall" mindset to an agile one. This means planning as you go, instead of trying to plan everything up front. <br>Unfortunately, my previous company struggled with this mindset shift.<br>Luckily, Jira dashboards and Custom Charts for Jira can be excellent tools for planning as you go. However, it's important to start by making and assigning Jira issues and to use Confluence or a Jira whiteboard tool to create your Work Breakdown Structure and get your project off the ground.<br>To summarize, here are the five lessons for agile planning in Jira:<br>As you plan your agile projects in Jira, keep in mind these core lessons that we learned at our former company. They can help you to streamline your agile planning process and make it more efficient:<br>Lesson 1: Remember that you're an agile team, not a waterfall team. Avoid documenting every requirement at the outset, as requirements tend to change. Agile documentation should be just good enough and produced just in time.<br>Lesson 2: Capture plans digitally. Make sure your plans are captured digitally, even if you start them on physical whiteboards so that everyone working in Jira can access them.<br>Lesson 3: Make plans for the platform you're working in. If you're using Jira and Confluence, make your plans in Jira and Confluence. You could also install a digital whiteboards tool like Miro or Agile Planning Boards.<br>Lesson 4: Build a Work Breakdown Structure. Break down big and complex projects into manageable chunks, and organize them in Jira with initiatives, epics, stories, and sub-tasks.<br>Lesson 5: Use retrospectives to plan better next time. Review your team's performance and project progress during the sprint retrospective, and use the insights to improve your next planning session.<br>We hope that these tips will help you with your agile planning in Jira.<br>Thank you for tuning in to our podcast today.</p> <p> </p>

What the End of New Server App Sales Means for Custom Charts
<p>What the End of New Server App Sales Means for Custom Charts</p> <p><a href="https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/end-jira-server-app-sales/">https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/end-jira-server-app-sales/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>On February 15 2023, Atlassian shut down app sales for existing Atlassian Server licenses. It means that if you use Jira Server or Confluence Server, you won’t be able to buy any new apps from the Atlassian Marketplace after that date.</p> <p><br></p> <p>If you’re on Jira or Confluence Server and you’re using Custom Charts for Jira or Custom Jira Charts for Confluence, you probably have questions. If you’re on Server and looking to buy Custom Charts, you probably have questions too.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Let’s see if we can answer them all.</p> <p><br></p> <p>1. I’m an existing Custom Charts for Jira/Confluence Server customer. Will the end of the new Server app sales affect me?</p> <p><br></p> <p>No, it won’t. You won’t be impacted in any way by the February 15 2023 date. We will continue to support Custom Charts for Jira and Confluence on Server licenses until the support for Server and Server apps ends as a whole on February 15, 2024.</p> <p><br></p> <p>You can also renew maintenance for your Custom Charts Server license at any time in 2023. However, bear in mind that your renewal will be pro-rated to match the February 15 2024 date (go to question 3 for more on this).</p> <p><br></p> <p>2. Wait. What’s going to change on February 15, 2024?</p> <p><br></p> <p>This is the day Atlassian Server kicks the bucket. After this date, Atlassian and Atlassian Marketplace Partners (like us) will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes, or technical support for any issues, including critical vulnerabilities.</p> <p><br></p> <p>In other words, Old Street won’t be able to provide any support or updates for Custom Charts on Jira or Confluence Server after February 15 2024.</p> <p><br></p> <p>3. What about Custom Charts maintenance renewals in 2023?</p> <p><br></p> <p>If your Custom Charts Server license is up for maintenance renewal sometime in 2023, that’s fine, you can still renew it. However, the renewal will only go up to February 15 2024 and the price will be adjusted on a pro-rata basis to reflect this. In other words, if you renew on August 15, 2023, you’ll only pay for 6 months of maintenance.<br> <br> Continue here:<br> <a href="https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/end-jira-server-app-sales/">https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/end-jira-server-app-sales/</a></p> <p><br></p>
