6 steps to better release management in Jira
In a DevOps world, work is often merged to master multiple times a day, but it’s not always easy to know when changes ship. Developers have full control over deploying their changes to customers which makes it extra important that those changes are tracked. The good news is that teams can automate much of this process using Jira or Jira Service Desk. Here are six actionable steps for better release management in the Jira platform.

Agile roadmap planning done right with Jira Software and Portfolio for Jira
Agile software development supports a release plan, but it’s challenging to coordinate that on a multi-team level when you’ve got a lot of dependencies between teams.

And last week, I was lucky enough to watch how they do this at their 5th program increment planning (dubbed “PI5”). Here’s how it worked.

How to use group chat to strengthen company culture
Think about how you communicate with the people on your team and in your company. In today’s offices, with distributed teams across the globe, we often don’t have the luxury of just walking up and saying, Yo. This inevitable lack of face time (to say nothing about the missed opportunities to practice your Rocky Balboa voice) leads to more impersonal forms of communication, like email. And over time, a disconnected feeling grows and it affects culture. So, if you can’t be together, you’ve got to replace that feeling of being together. A great way to do this is with group chat, because it encourages communication. And company culture is rooted in the ways teammates and coworkers communicate.
