How to Use Scrum for Business Teams - Apply Agile Methodology to a Marketing team. Author: Mark Gopez

Lots of great announcements and sessions at Atlassian Summit on Day 3. A short recap: Atlassian is making a huge visible push toward business teams, Confluence is free in JIRA Service Desk (Whoa!), Resizing columns in Confluence gets huge applause. Looks like Atlassian has crossed the chasm.

At the end of day 2 of the Atlassian Summit 2015, Eric Wittman, General Manager of Developer Tools at Atlassian delivered the Atlassian for Software Teams Keynote. Here is a collection of backchannel tweets to help tell the back story about what was announced in the keynote.

After my interview with Matt Doar, I had the opportunity to interview Mikey Schott, Technical Consultant and Coauthor of the book, Practical JIRA Administration: Using JIRA Effectively Beyond the Documentation. Mikey Schott contributed entirely new topics to the book to address specific issues he helps JIRA administrators with every day. I caught up with Mikey while he was on the east coast of the U.S., between JIRA training classes.

Atlassian kicked off Summit with an opening keynote worthy of its reputation. It all started with Kanban DJ and proceeded with exciting announcements from Atlassian. This is a collection of backchannel tweets that occurred during the Opening Keynote on Wednesday, October 4, 2015.

Recently, I sat down with Matt Doar, Chief Toolsmith at ServiceRocket and author of the O'Reilly book, Practical JIRA Administration: Using JIRA Effectively Beyond the Documentation. Not only is the book updated to reflect changes to JIRA, but entirely new topics have been added, thanks to contributions from Mikey Schott.
