Hello, World!

Hi!

My name is Louis-Pier, and I work at Okapya Software Solutions, an Atlassian Marketplace partner. I would like to say that I am new, but that would be a lie; I have been lurking for a while. 👀 I thought it was time for a proper introduction.

The one thing I would like to share with other newcomers is that it's normal if, in your beginnings, you feel overwhelmed by this whole Jira environment. For me, it was all very confusing. I don't come from a software development background, so it didn't help. I can't tell you how many times I have googled basic things like "Jira vs Jira Software vs Jira Work Management vs Jira Service Desk vs Jira Service Management". 🤦‍♂️ And let me warn you; the day you figure things out might be the day that Atlassian decides to announce a change to their product or terminology. 😅

But it's all fun and part of the game. We continue to learn and grow. I hope to continue doing exactly that in this community; having fun and learning. Have a nice day, everyone! 👋

Totally relatable! 😅 I’ve been through the same confusion with all the Jira variations. It’s a never-ending learning journey, but that’s what makes it interesting!

Welcome @Louis-Pier Alie - Okapya. I can also relate, though I have mostly used Confluence for the last 2 years. It seems that every time I would finally find a workaround for some feature that didn't behave how I wanted (numbered lists, nesting macros), they would fix the issue. Not only were all those hours spent researching wasted, but then I would need to spend time to use the new feature instead. 🙃
