Introduction (By Innovalog):

In your Jira projects, you might need to perform calculations based on data readily available in your Jira custom fields. While Jira gives you the ability to create custom fields, it doesn't give you the ability to perform calculations, even reasonably straightforward ones.

Designing and successfully implementing a business process is no small task. A great process aims to streamline tasks, ensure they are done correctly and promptly, and that all required information is recorded and made available to the right stakeholders during the right step of a workflow.

Since Atlassian has published the end-of-life timeline for Jira Server, we'd like to address a few points regarding features, pricing, and licensing related to our products. Hopefully, this can help you make confident decisions as you develop a plan for your team.  Please be aware that Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) is available on all Jira instances; Jira Misc Custom Fields (JMCF) is available for Jira Data Center (DC) and Jira Server.

As powerful as Jira is, it is not always easy for some Jira beginners to start using it. Now and then, we all need a little help. Especially as your company adapts Jira's usage beyond your software development teams to business users. In addition to making Jira work for their organization, Jira Administrators have another responsibility: training users to properly use it.

For those of you who have that responsibility, you'll be excited to know that now there are additional resources available. Rachel Wright's new LinkedIn Learning courses can help you ensure Jira is fully utilized across different teams. 

Today, we're entering our next chapter by announcing Innovalog's acquisition by Appfire. It's the right next step for us, our customers, and partners. Here's why.
