Event Agenda

Arrive at the venue, check in with our Community Champions, and enjoy a coffee or tea before the sessions begin.

17:45 – 18:15 | From Engineering to HR: How to Establish Business Processes in Jira Once and for All
Presented by: TitanAppsSpeaker: Oleksandra Sokol, Product Manager at TitanApps

From Engineering to HR, poorly designed processes tend to collapse as teams scale. Roles change, teams grow, and responsibilities shift — but business processes must remain reliable.
In this session, we’ll demonstrate how simple tools like checklists and templates can support complex, cross-team workflows at scale, without adding unnecessary overhead in Jira.

18:15 – 18:45 | Jira + Confluence + Rovo: When the Magic Works
Presented by: SaaSJetSpeaker: Natalia, Marketing Manager at SaaSJet

We manage tasks in Jira, create documentation in Confluence, and still often lose context. Now Rovo enters the picture. Does it truly help, or does it just add another layer of complexity?
This talk explores how these tools work together in real-life scenarios and highlights when the “magic” actually happens — when tools collaborate seamlessly rather than merely coexist.

18:45 – 19:15 | Pushing Atlassian Cloud to Its Limits: The User Merge We Don’t Recommend
Speaker: Alexander Tynetalo, Atlassian Administrator at SoftServe

Atlassian Cloud doesn’t support user merging — but real-world client demands don’t always align with platform limitations.
In this session, we’ll review multiple attempted solutions, explain why most failed, and take a deep dive into a risky workaround that we ultimately chose not to recommend.

19:15 – 21:00 | Networking
Connect with fellow attendees, speakers, and Atlassian community members for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaboration opportunities.

From Engineering to HR, poorly designed processes collapse as teams scale. People change roles, teams grow, responsibilities shift — but your business processes need to stay rock-solid. In this session, we’ll show you how simple tools like checklists and templates can handle complex, cross-team workflows at scale — without unnecessary overhead in Jira.

6:30 PM: Jira + Confluence + Rovo = When the Magic Works by SaaSJet

We manage tasks in Jira, write notes and docs in Confluence, and still lose context. Now Rovo enters the picture. Does it actually help, or just add another layer of complexity? In this talk, we’ll explore how these tools work together in real life. We’ll look at everyday scenarios and when the “magic” really happens as tools start working together, not just side by side.

7:15 PM: Networking

Join fellow attendees, speakers, and Atlassian community members for an evening of networking, knowledge exchange, and collaboration opportunities.
