Control & Clarity in Atlassian Platform direction, admin sanity, and real-world planning Atlassian is evolving fast — new platform concepts, new ways of organizing work, and increasing complexity for admins and teams. At the same time, many organizations are struggling with very practical questions: How do we stay in control? How do we keep things tidy and manageable? And how do we plan realistically as teams and environments grow? At this Atlassian Community Event in Prague, we’ll bring together Atlassian insights, partner experience, and real customer examples to explore how teams are navigating change — and what actually works in practice. 🎤 Agenda & Speakers Service Collection: Platform Direction & What’s Coming Next Darryl LeeSolutions Engineer, Atlassian Darryl will give a high-level introduction to Service Collection — what it is, why Atlassian is investing in it, and what it means for existing customers. The session will also include a look at the roadmap and upcoming changes, helping attendees better understand where the Atlassian platform is heading and how to prepare for it. Atlassian Cloud and the Loss of Control Ed LetifovTechTime Initiative Group Limited Sometimes it feels like too much is happening in Atlassian — too fast, with too little visibility. User identities, access, and numbers stop making sense, and admins are left feeling overwhelmed. In this talk, Ed will share real approaches implemented by TechTime’s customers to organize user identities in Atlassian Cloud, reduce chaos, make data consistent, and ultimately lower admin stress. A practical session focused on regaining control and clarity. When Estimation Breaks: Collaborative Planning in Jira at Scale Maria MelnikCTO, Teamlead Jira’s estimation model assumes one person owns one issue. In real teams, work is collaborative — and that’s where estimation starts to fall apart. Subtasks, custom fields, and manual roll-ups can help, but they often create noise, overhead, and unreliable data for admins. This session explores how teams handle collaborative estimation in Jira today, where native approaches hit their limits, and what practical patterns partners use to restore clarity. A real-world discussion focused on reducing admin effort and making planning data usable again. Understanding Team Capacity in Jira: Native Features vs. Real-World Usage Ostap ZaishlyiSenior Product Manager, Reliex Jira offers multiple native ways to view workload and capacity — boards, calendars, and Jira Plans — but how well do these tools work as complexity grows? Using a real customer example, this session explores: What Jira’s native features can (and can’t) tell you Where teams typically hit limitations How add-ons like ActivityTimeline are used to complement Jira and gain clearer visibility into workloads, availability, and constraints — enabling better planning decisions in real-life scenarios 🤝 Networking & Catering As always, the event will conclude with networking, food, and drinks — a great opportunity to: Connect with fellow Atlassian users, admins, and partners Ask follow-up questions to the speakers Share experiences and challenges in an informal setting Whether you’re an admin, a team lead, or simply curious about where Atlassian is heading, this event is designed to give you clarity, perspective, and practical takeaways. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

***Okay, call me crazy but you have got to try their chip n dip!*** Club 185 is a true hidden gem in German Village! Seriously, old school, good comfort food and drink. We will try to gather in spaces near the windows. While we'll share Chip n Dip, you'll want to order a sandwich, too. **Where the Chip Began (1817)** Potato chips can be traced back to an English chef, William Kitchiner, who includes ‘crisps’ in his bestselling cookbook, “The Cook’s Oracle.” **Chip and Dip Popularity** The popularity of chip and dip skyrockets at the end of World War II with new entertainment fads and the introduction of Lipton’s new advertising campaign for their famous French Onion Dip. (Club 185 doesn't openly admit it, but I'm pretty sure that's their dip recipe!) **[Club 185](http://club185.com/)**—a true neighborhood bar serving since 1954, when it was known as a local 'speak-easy'. Located in German Village, Club 185 features a menu of quality casual comfort food and full bar. From politicians to lawyers, hardhats to hipsters—all find Club 185 the perfect place to tame their hunger and quench their thirst! **PARKING**: I know, brick street parallel parking can be a pain. Two other choices, metered parking along Livingston heading towards Children's Hospital or across the street in the large church lot (park in spaces farthest away from the church entrance doors, closer to the street). **PRE-EVENT**: **HAPPY HOUR (3-5pm)**: Italian drinks and bites at [Cento's happy hour](https://centogermanvillage.com/menus/), nearby.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
