Matt Doar, co-author of the O'Reilly book, Practical Jira Administration, and Jira puzzle master, joins this episode of Nice Work to help us understand the pitfalls and best ways to govern a large Jira instance. Lacey also gets Matt to explain why we need a massive overhaul of the education system to teach people how to report a problem.

On this episode of Nice Work, Lacey talks with Scott Middleton, founder and CEO of Stratejos, an AI, bot app for Jira, about the role of bots and AI in Jira, and how it can help make teams more effective. Yes. The bot apparently can tell you if you are about to run over on your sprint. 

On this episode of Nice Work, Mikey Schott, manager of enterprise service at ServiceRocket talks about how two teams can work in one backlog and make every thing alright. It seems like a strange scenario, but Mikey describes why two different teams would want to work out of one backlog, what types of work requires this, and how this backlog might be set up. Host Lacey Carlyle gets down into the weeds with Mikey about the setup.
