The 2024 Community High Five thread! 🙌

[Preston VanSanden]

Happy New Year! Welcome to the 2024 Community High Five thread! 🙌

We’re awarding high fives to everyone who has submitted five answers to the community. This is because those of you who earn five accepted answers now get an official Rising Star Certificate 🤩 and are well on your way to becoming a Community Leader (you can learn more and apply right here). So we’re going to spread around the encouragement a little to future Rising Stars, like:

@Gloria Landsberg @Berat Altunhan @David _old account_ @Nadine Schuett @GNarsimhagowda - Empyra @EG 

[Laurie Sciutti]

Great job, future Rising Stars!  👏🏻

[Nadine Schuett]

Excellent - only 3 days into the new year and I already feel like it cannot get any better ;-) Thanks a lot!

[Preston VanSanden]

@Nadine Schuett We already know you're going to have a GREAT year! 💙

[Andy Gladstone]

What Atlassian products do you know best? 

[Hariharan Iyer]

JIRA for me. I use confluence too on a daily basis, but not a power user (yet).

[Raymart Cruz]

Jira Service Management for me.

[Nadine Schuett]

Also Jira Service Management - unfortunately, only DC though :(

[Sebastian Spitzer]

• Confluence
• Jira Software
• Jira Service Management

[Andy Gladstone]

[Michele Bazzani]

We are becoming fluent in Software, Work Management, and Service Management.

[HIMANSHU KUMAR]

For me

• Jira Software
• Confluence
• Jira Service Management

[Jimmy Seddon]

Congratulations Everyone!

To answer Preston's question:

• Access
• Jira Service Management
• Jira Software

[Preston VanSanden]

Love these answers!

[Matt Parks]

Jira Software (DC) and Confluence here. I'm part of a large IT org (~1500 and counting), so another team handles the Bitbucket stuff.

Heavy user of Scriptrunner, JSU, and Structure as plugins.

[Preston VanSanden]

Hello friends! Happy Valentine's Day for anyone who happens to celebrate! We've got some heart-felt high fives to dish out!

@Farah Idayu Othman @Dana Weinbaum @Ignacio Aredez @Anette Unger @Christian Bär @Tymek @David Thomson @Rodney Dsouza @Patricia Ermisch _STAGIL_ @Sean Blezard @Neel Mohapatra _Appfire_ @Vit Mee @Matt Parks @Daniel Hostrup Eriksen @Sneha Dhavande @Humashankar VJ @AaronPavez_Appfire @Saad @Isabella Musial @Daniel McCollum @Erika Reategui @Zoey Wang @John Connolly @Pallavi Shirodkar @Remi @Rebecca Dai 

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Do you find yourself drawn to answering certain types of questions on the Community? 

[Andy Gladstone]

First - high five for the newest members of the crew!

Second - drawn to Confluence Cloud Admin questions...

[Matt Parks]

I'll be honest, I don't frequent the community much unless I'm looking for an answer. While doing that, though, if I see an unanswered question that has been asked in the recent past (i.e. in the last six months or so) that I can answer, I'll typically respond.

[Jimmy Seddon]

Congrats Everyone!

Lately I have been drawn to helping answer questions about certifications!

[Neel Mohapatra _Appfire_]

Thank you :) @Preston VanSanden 
happy Valentine's Day everyone!

I happen to learn a lot while helping, So I enjoy it.

[Tymek]

Thank you @Preston VanSanden !

I like the most when question looks like a edge-case that won't be possible to do but actually is possible to solve in Trello :)

[Preston VanSanden]

@Andy Gladstone Love it! Sounds like you handle some tough ones!

@Matt Parks Love the honesty, and that's okay! How you use the community, is up to you! Don't hesitate to both offer feedback on how we can make it better to suit your needs!

@Jimmy Seddon Spreading some Democracy, I see! That game has become SUCH a time sink for me. Do you find a lot of the cert questions similar?

@Neel Mohapatra _Appfire_ Love the idea of combining helping and learning! 🙌

@Tymek What a great way to approach unique issues!

[Jimmy Seddon]

@Preston VanSanden I feel like most people are looking for some words of encouragement more than they have questions that need answering ;)

[Zoey Wang]

Thank you @Preston VanSanden ! Trying to help more people in our community while on my way to joining our lovely community leader team!!

[Preston VanSanden]

Love that energy, Zoey! 🫡

[Viktoryia K_]

Hopefully soon Assets (I highlight this as something separate), but now JSM, JWM, Confluence.
I'm glad to take information from such a smart community!!

[Preston VanSanden]

We so frequently impressed by the quality of info and answers provided by the members of this community.

[Pallavi Shirodkar]

Thank you @Preston VanSanden !

[Preston VanSanden]

You are welcome! 💙

[Preston VanSanden]

Gear up those hands for some HOT high fives! We hope you have all been doing well and enjoying life! Join us in thanking these awesome individuals who have taken time out of their day to make our Community a better place!

Question of the week! 
What made you start answering questions in the Community?

[Jimmy Seddon]

Congrats Everyone!

@Preston VanSanden I actually started by watching topics I was interested in and checked out the questions I "didn't" know the answers to in order to learn something.  Then, I started to see some questions that I banged my head against my desk for a few days over and thought I'd help someone out by saving them some time.  One answer lead to another and before you know it I'm where I am today!

[Andy Gladstone]

Much like @Jimmy Seddon I came for the knowledge and stayed for the community. I initially visited community.atlassian.com in search for some answers. Then I noticed questions that I actually knew the answers to, and started contributing, It's been a slippery slope and I have gone way down the massive rabbit hole that the online community is - and it is truly a wonderland.

[Preston VanSanden]

If it's Wednesday, it's high five day. Gather around, warm them palms up and set some good vibes flying! We are celebrating great folks who have answered five questions in our Community! Please join me in thanking them.

@Asmath Basha S @William Crighton _CCC_ @hmza khan @Chrissy Clements @SAzaruddin_mp @Denis Paul @janez_m @mruttan @Paul Sherman @Sheri Widler @Jason M_ @Ka Silveira @Ben van den Berg @Gal Fatal

@Stephan Hannach @Cassandra Lloyd 

Question of the week! 

What Atlassian product would you like to learn more about? 

Cheers!

[Ka Silveira]

OMG! 🤩 that's so cool :) thanks guys 💙💙💙💙💙

[Jimmy Seddon]

Congratulations Everyone!

@Preston VanSanden Beacon - I work for a Cyber Security company so I've been very interested in the progress of that product.

[Andy Gladstone]

I need to know more about Jira Product Discovery - just need the time to dive in to it.

Congrats everyone!

[Preston VanSanden]

@Ka Silveira You're welcome! Keep being awesome. 

[Preston VanSanden]

@Jimmy Seddon Love to hear that and you already know we look forward to your thoughts on it!

[Preston VanSanden]

@Andy Gladstone We hear that! 

[Paul Sherman]

Gee, Woof @Preston VanSanden (that's dog for 'Thanks for the Milk Bone!').

2nd on @Andy Gladstone 's Jira note.

Always love to hear anything about Bitbucket, especially best practices for  naming and arranging Workspaces and Projects to maintain simple and short URI ... and also simple ways to create repo's from CLI, which at the moment is a task best left for the gui.

[Chrissy Clements]

OMG, look at the puppy!!

I want to learn more about Compass and its relationship with Opsgenie services.  How does Change Management protect the source of truth, which is currently Opsgenie.  Who has permission to decommission services or delete them entirely?  Can we use Compass to populate Opsgenie and then lock it down? 

So many questions and so many opportunities.

[William Crighton _CCC_]

there we go! Free Fake Internet Points to Everyone! Everyone gets one! It's Great! They are Free! And Fake!

lol...I love this game.

[Preston VanSanden]

@William Crighton _CCC_ It's a good game! Keeps things light, and I get to say nice things to people. 💙

[Preston VanSanden]

@Chrissy Clements LOVE those questions! There is always so much to learn! Been here for years and I'm still learning as well. 👏

Question of the week!! 

Do you have a favourite time of day to answer questions? 

[Jimmy Seddon]

Congratulations Everyone!

@Angelie Stephens - Nope!  Which is why you may see me at 6am or 11pm.  Depends what mood I'm in ;)

[Andy Gladstone]

My favorite time to log in to the community is during my commute on the train to and from work each day. I could not find a GIF of high fives on a train, so a Soul Train High Five will have to do!

[Tymek]

@Andy Gladstone sounds like a great time-saving trick, love it :)

[Angelie Stephens]

It's everyone's favourite day of the week - high fives day! Time to celebrate all the wonderful people who have spent time answering five questions this week for us. 🙌

Question of the week for everyone! 

What do you enjoy about being part of the Atlassian Community? 

[Ankush Bora]

For me top 2 things that I enjoy in this community would be:

• Atlassian Community Events! I have attended only a couple so far.
  Look forward to more in future.
• Community Q & A groups that help out when one needs help.

[Luis Andino Rodriguez]

All the help i can get no matter how "Out there" the question is.

[Andy Gladstone]

I came for the information, I stayed for the people. So the people and personalities I have gotten to know, and friendships that I have forged in this community - both OL and IRL, have been the most rewarding.

[Angelie Stephens]

Here we are again! 

We're here to celebrate the fantastic individuals who have dedicated their time to answering five questions right here on the Community! ✨

Question of the week! 

Do you have any advice you'd give to new Community members? 

[Matt Parks]

I find it helpful to just browse through the questions in the Community. Even if I'm not explicitly interested in every question, seeing the kinds of questions that people get me to thinking about what ways I can improve Jira for my end-users.

Also, before you post a question, do a quick search to see if anyone has asked the question before (and maybe an answer has been provided). And when you do post a question, make sure to give as much information as possible.

One question I always ask my end-users when they're asking for something is "What problem are you trying to solve?" They may be looking for a specific solution but, if I know what their pain points are, I might be able to provide a much better and more comprehensive solution. So asking a question that isn't just "how can I do this thing?" but more of a "how can I solve this problem?" could end up getting a much better solution.

[Jimmy Seddon]

Congrats Everyone!

I think @Matt Parks covered almost everything!  I'll add this:

Don't be afraid to ask a questions because you think its stupid or something you should already know.  We were all new at one point and everyone here is happy to help!

[Andy Lutz]

Woot woot! I'd echo what Matt shared, as I like browsing through all the questions, just to 1) see what other folks are trying to do with the tool and 2) being able to share ideas/workarounds others might not have thought of before.

[Angelie Stephens]
