Here you will find all the posts related to my work done on Atlassian tools. As of 2017 I have been working primarily as Atlassian consultant where I help companies in rolling out Atlassian tools like Jira, Jira Service Desk and Jira Software. I am loving this work as I get to work with many companies and travel a lot. Currently I live in London but I am from Delhi originally. I self taught myself to work on Jira and I gained expertise on it after doing several implementations. I also wrote couple of books, the latest one is Mastering JIRA 7 which is quite popular. Enjoy the posts, have fun :)

Don't forget firing Issue Resolved Event in your Post Function

When Jira Admins use their own final state, they often forget to add a Post Function to Fire an Issue Resolved Event. This is important so that any listener can act upon and do something when issues are resolved.
