Modern Teamwork in Software Engineering
with Jira
Hi, I'm Nick
Jira and Confluence are two of the largest cogs in the clockwork of modern teamwork.
Jira: Project task breakdown, planning and tracking
Confluence: Knowledge management and collaboration.
Quiz app: Functional requirements
- Create a new quiz
- Add a question
- Remove a question
- Reorder questions
Quiz app: Non-functional requirements
- Available on the internet (deployed)
- Built using TypeScript (Node.js backend, React Frontend)
- Authentication with SSO
- Data stored persistently
Demo time.
The use cases of Jira and Confluence in enterprise
- Confluence:
- Knowledge management and the rosetta stone
- Open-source and collaboration
- Jira:
- Vast array of features and fields
- Highly configurable
- Jira at scale - JQL and issue navigation
- Deeply embedded in business processes
- Ecosystem: Integration of Jira, Confluence and other products
The pipeline from university to work
- Accountability - you're a paid employee
- Impact - the changes you make affect real people
- Context - your software development is governed by the culture, processes and needs of the business
- Scale - you need to consider how many people will be using your software
The pipeline from university to work
- Long-form software development - projects last months, not weeks. Sprints and milestones are still present, but in service of a larger goal. Design/tech debt becomes even more important.
- The Unknown - get comfortable with it. It's here to stay.
