Order in the court! This week on The Jira Life, we’re putting Jira on trial. The charge? Being a tool only for technical teams.In this special jury-style debate, we’ll examine both sides of the case:🔹The Prosecution: Jira is built for software teams, too complex for others🔹The Defense: Non-technical teams thrive with Jira — marketing, HR, legal, ops, and more🔹 The Jury (You!): Decide whether Jira is guilty or not guilty of being “too technical”We’ll bring evidence, real-world examples, and strong arguments — and then let the community weigh in with their verdict.So… is Jira just for engineers, or can anyone put it to work? Tune in and help us settle the case once and for all.Thank you to Revyz for backing us up and making The Jira Life possible. https://www.revyz.io/The Jira Life=====================================Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?

This week on The Jira Life, we’re going head-to-head in The Great Agile Debate with special guest Bryan Guffey. The question on the table: Is Jira killing Agile?
We’ll dig into:
⚡️ Whether Jira supports or stifles true Agile values
⚡️How teams adapt their tools vs. bend their process
⚡️Common mistakes that give Agile a bad name
⚡️Where Atlassian’s AI assistant Rovo fits into the future of Agile work
Expect strong opinions, fresh perspectives, and a no-fluff conversation about how Agile is practiced in the real world, and whether Jira is part of the solution or part of the problem.

Jira is powerful out of the box, but it really shines when you extend it.
In this episode of The Jira Life, we break down the three primary ways to extend Jira in 2025:
Automation Rules (no-code/low-code)
Forge Apps (custom development)
Rovo (Atlassian’s new AI assistant)We explore:
When should you stick with native automation?
What problems call for custom Forge apps?
Where does Rovo fit into the picture and can it actually replace scripts or apps?
Best practices, pros & cons, and how to future-proof your approach
If you’re a Jira admin, developer, or just trying to figure out how far you can take Jira, this episode is for you.

We’re halfway through the year, and it’s time for a candid check-in. In this special mid-year retrospective of The Jira Life, we’re taking a step back to reflect on everything Season 3 has brought us so far — the wins, the missteps, and the moments that made us laugh, cringe, or totally rethink how we work.
And to help us make sense of it all? We’ve invited Mark Cruth — Atlassian's Modern Work Coach — to facilitate our retro and guide us through an honest, energizing reflection.
In this episode, we cover:
🛟Our biggest highlights (and a few “yikes” moments)
🛟What surprised us most from our guests and topics
🛟The behind-the-scenes evolution of the show
🛟Lessons we’re taking into the second half of 2025
🛟Live retro moments with Mark Cruth at the helm
Whether you're a longtime listener or new to the pod, this is your backstage pass to the real conversations that shape The Jira Life. Expect hot takes, deep insights, and maybe a little therapy.
