🌐 Build your network: Join our new Jira Admin Connect program!

[#1]

Hey, Jira Admins! 👋

We’re excited to invite you to a new networking opportunity! Grab this great chance to connect one-on-one with another Jira Admin, where you can share best practices, tackle technical challenges, and discuss your organization’s strategic needs—all while expanding your professional network.

In our initial connection round, we're hoping to pair admins with different levels of expertise and experience to create a friendly mentorship vibe. Based on who opts in, however, you might find yourself matched with someone who has a similar background and experience level. 

*Note: One of our Community Champions recommended finding a mentor as one of his top pieces of advice for new Jira Admins!*

The first Jira Admin Connect sign-up period will run from September 24 through October 3, with connection conversations happening on October 14, 15, or 16.

Sign up here and get your match by filling out a few questions about your background and availability.

Have fun, and let us know how your networking session goes!

[Sean Wood]

Wanted to comment that I think this is a great idea. Unfortunately I don't have the time to spare to join (if this was two years earlier!)

[Kristen Roth]

Sad to hear we missed ya by a couple years, @Sean Wood! You'd only be committing to a single networking call for this connection round, but I get it; time is precious! Maybe we'll be lucky enough to catch you at a later date!

What. A. Brilliant. Idea.

I assume many of us admin are alone with their instance with no one to rubber duck their ideas or painpoints and with the community and documentation as their only help.

So thank you for this @Kristen Roth !

[Debbie Jolley]

great initiative - thanks for setting this up Kristen

[Shawn Stevens]
