👋🏻 Introduce yourself!

Hello, Team Central enthusiasts! 

(And for those who are more curious than enthusiastic, get more info on Team Central here). 

Here's the Team Central TLDR: It's a product that comes directly from Atlassian's internal comms playbook, sharing the beliefs, rituals and techniques that helped Atlassian teams evolve from cross-team comms chaos to synchronized, simple comms rituals designed to move work forward.

Now, I want to hear your TLDR! 

• What's your role? 
• What are the challenges you face today with status reporting? 
• How might Team Central complement how your team works?
• Photo of your pet (I will never not ask for pet photos on intro posts 😂)

Looking forward to hearing your answers!

Hi @Bridget , I'm Mary!

• I run marketing for Team Central. 
• I hate status meetings, in fact I hate all meetings that could've been an e-mail. 
• I've been using Team Central within Atlassian for 5 years and love that I can connect the dots across initiatives. It's the first place I go when I wonder "am I missing something?"
• I thought you'd never ask. Meet J.P. Finn Raleigh, Finn for short. He's a mini golden doodle with a big personality and endless energy. Finn loves LONG walks on the beach and will slurp down any unattended mai tai within a 100 ft radius.
