JIRA Everywhere

1. Timothy Fong Innovation Performance Specialist OpsHub

2. What does JIRA do?

3. It enables better collaboration (innovation) through information.

4. Does more information always mean better collaboration?

5. INFORMATION/TODO TASKING

6. ‘ Tasking’ is good, but can lead you into circles or silos.

7. Imagine a laundry-list of to-do’s that generates more to-do’s…

8. Impact comes when info in JIRA is “everywhere”

9. Easier to be ‘everywhere’ when applied widely to make decisions

10. How do you need to look at information in JIRA to make decisions?

11. Context What else is impacted? What informs this task?

12. Meaning What is going on? What’s going to happen?

13. Action What can I do that corrects or changes my understanding of the situation?

14. So…is this the same as looking at reports?

15. Depends. Do you have context, meaning, action?

17. What kind of context would help more? What questions does this prompt me to ask? What actions can this lead me to take? What meaning can I derive? What decisions can I take?

28. What to Take From This

29. How can JIRA be more powerful with better context?

30. How can I ask better questions that can create greater meaning?

31. Are we spending more time ‘tasking’ and not enough making decisions and actions?

32. Why are we doing what we’re doing?

33. Innovate
