About this podcast
From the guys behind "Apetech Tech Tutorials" YouTube channel and "The Jira Guy" blog, comes a podcast that covers anything and everything relevant to being an Atlassian Admin. We cover the latest news and updates from the Atlassian ecosystem, cover best practices for your Atlassian Tools, and interview the movers and shakers within the community. Because we didn't choose The Jira Life, The Jira Life chose us.
