7. Managing the ambassadors...
Daily task list
Weekly reports
90 day goals
Events planning
Meetings... and more meetings..
Avoid drowning in email..
Expediting and dealing with issues...
13. K.I.S.S.
Use simplest workflow possible
Only create issue types you need
Use labels to help you find issues
- common labels could become issue types
...
14. Our workflow does what??
See what your BOfH has done to your workflow
“Can we make a quick change to our project?”
“Sorry, Dave did that workflow... I dont know what
it does... He is not back until next week!”
Visual workflow editor to the rescue !!
17. Easier searching and reporting
Type in what you want
JIRA suggests the right things you want
Save your query...
… use those in Confluence
18. Report on specific week
Type with help from auto-complete:
project = AMBASSADORS AND assignee = jstevenson AND fixVersion =
"Week 31" ORDER BY priority DESC
Press the search button!

%3D+AMBASSADORS+AND+assignee+
%3D+jstevenson+AND+fixVersion+%3D+
%22Week+31%22+ORDER+BY+priority+DESC&tempMax=100
19. Some feel JIRA is still fiddly...
Too many fields
Lots of irrelevant information
Not sure what to fill in...
Not a great user experience!
20. New way to edit an issue
Simplified issue editing form
Drag and drop to customise your own form
Only add what’s important
Raise issues quickly...
28. Communicate with confidence
Communicate with Confluence
Ambassadors have their own space
Everyone has free run (except for deleting the whole space !!)
Audit trail keeps people honest
Really drives collaboration
29. Telling people who I am
My Confluence home page
Contact details / my location
Recent documents / edits
Planning activities
30.
31. Making daily stand-ups more fun
Talk about things we are learning
Help each other priorities
Identify dependant activities
Talk to each other as human beings...
36. Report on specific week
Type in:
project = AMBASSADORS AND assignee = jstevenson AND fixVersion =
"Week 31" ORDER BY priority DESC
Press the magic button!
Get URL for XML feed:

37. Confluence for 90 day goals
Simple to create tables
Emoticons to make goal status easy to see
Could also use status field
Simple to understand for a wider audience
