Guys, I just want to give a huge shout-out to Mike. I joined his group last year, and I was really struggling with Jira. I came across Mike's workshop on his YouTube channel while binge-watching his tutorials. Sure, you can learn a lot from YouTube or Udemy courses—I even bought a few myself—but nothing compares to his workshop. Over a few weekends, I learned so much practical stuff that I can honestly say he saved me six months to a year of learning Jira and Confluence on my own. If you're on the fence about his workshop, just go for it! You won't regret it. Plus, Mike answered all my questions on Slack, and access to his course platform was another big bonus for me. I'm super excited we moved to this new platform, Skool. I've never used it before, but it's looking good. I just passed an interview and now I'm in the £60K salary bracket, mainly because of my Jira knowledge. Thanks, Mike!

Hey team, Me again here. Hope everyone's doing well. As I dive deeper into Jira, there's one thing that's got me scratching my head a bit – Jira components. I've gone through the basics, but I must confess, I'm still not 100% on the ball with how they function in real-world scenarios. For those of you seasoned in using components, could you share some insights or practical examples of how you utilize them effectively in your projects? I'm especially keen on understanding their advantages over labels or custom fields, and how they might best serve someone in a business analysis role like mine. Thanks in advance for your wisdom and patience. It's a learning curve, and I appreciate all the support! Cheers,

Hey everyone! 🙌 First off, massive thanks to the group admin for letting me in. Quick intro - I'm Andy, a Scrum Master working for a large UK corporation. I'm excited to be here and even more excited to learn from and share with all of you. Let's keep things relaxed, engaging, and, of course, agile. 😊 I have a lot of questions about Jira and JSM, so I will be posting regularly, I think lol :) Catch you all soon!

Hey everyone, It's about time I came out of the shadows! 😅 I've been a long-time lurker here and thought it's finally time to properly introduce myself. I'm Marta, and aside from being an avid follower of this group, I'm also one of Mike's clients. A massive shoutout to Mike (the awesome group admin) for always sharing so much valuable insight. I've learned loads just by observing and now I'm looking forward to being more active and interacting with all of you amazing folks! Cheers to new beginnings and many more conversations! 🥂 Warmly, Marta

Hey there awesome people! I'm Larry, hailing from the good ol' USA, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this community. My day job? Navigating the intricacies of business analysis. Data-driven decisions and detailed breakdowns? Yep, that's my jam! I stumbled upon Michael's YT channel recently and got hooked instantly. I must admit, I've binged through all the videos (some even twice! 😄). The content's been absolutely enlightening, and I figured the next logical step was to dive into this group and be amidst all of you wonderful folks. Kudos to Michael for creating such a fantastic platform, both on YouTube and here. Looking forward to some insightful discussions, sharing experiences, and learning together. Catch y'all in the threads! 🚀
