Today is Inventors Day in the USA, and as an “inventor” of lots of Confluence and Jira apps, we thought we’d share a bit of information about this holiday and some of our better and less well-known apps, even some that didn’t make it onto the Atlassian Marketplace.
In 2022, Seibert Media organized another Hackathon within the company. For 24 hours, 11 cross-discipline teams worked together on various projects, both from home and the office. How did it go? Read this article and find out!
Linchpin Intranets rock. We have reached a situation where it is more and more difficult to accept new intranet projects. That is why I have joined a hackathon group, that wants to help customers and us improve workshop efficiency and effectiveness. We are trying to come up with a comprehensive plan, samples, concepts, goals and templates for every project step in a new intranet project. In case you didn’t know: Linchpin is an intranet solution based on Atlassian Confluence, that enhances the collaboration with a dozen add-ons and comes with a guaranteed fixed price for professional services.
The paper-less office was meant to banish all paper from the office. In agile teams, however, this does not apply and this is where InstaPrinta comes in. Admittedly, a tool like Atlassian’s JIRA is a great way to manage tasks. However, in day-to-day work, a digital Agile Board in JIRA does not have the same presence as a large magnet board right in the center a team office that is full of task notes. At a glance, every team member knows what needs to be done and who is working on what. Furthermore, the magnet board contains numerous additional sections like an improvement board, a skill matrix, an absence calendar and more. This makes the analog board the central “cockpit” for all information relevant to the teams.
The goal of a hackathon is to buckle down and create a product and/or complete a small project under time pressure (at //SEIBERT/MEDIA within 24 hours). The hackathon team alone plans and decides what kind of product or project to work on. We explained the reasons for regularly conducting hackathons in our agile organization in more detailed articles. On the one hand, we strive to create concrete and truly innovative solutions. On the other hand, we try to attain “soft” effects, such as promoting training, teamwork and personal responsibility and motivating our employees. Our latest hackathon took place in early July 2013. In the following chronological field report, we offer insight into the work of the team that designed and developed the EasyEvents Confluence plugin.
