There are a few issues with issues in Jira. Okay, admittedly, more than a few. But let’s start with these seven. One, is the creation of the issue. It’s not straightforward and requires a lot of steps. Two, nothing is automated about the process of creating an issue. Everyone is manual and, if the bulk …
Everyone has heard of the expression, “a room with a view.” Well, we took that to heart with the latest Jira app that we’ve developed. It’s a “tool with a view.” More specifically, it’s called Views for Jira and it’s a tool that lets you see who’s viewing your issues logged in Jira. Since we …
We learn from each other, right? And, if all else fails, we ethically borrow and apply other people’s knowledge to get our own jobs done.

Seemingly “automagically,” whatever mundane work we’ve been tasked with doing is done. The idea of a template in itself isn’t all that new. Smart Issue Templates for Jira don’t sound all that innovative …
Forge makes scrapping your back-end code worth it – full stop. We’ve all been there. We have built apps, add-ons, extensions, integrations, and dug into coding, and all have a story or two. Toiling away in dark screen mode into the wee hours, we’ve pushed ourselves beyond what is humanly possible to meet a deliverable …
