Mix & Fix – The Smokey Docs on the Rocks

At Apptoberfest 2025, our fortune teller has just the brew to lift that curse. 🧙‍♀️🍂 Introducing “Smokey Docs on the Rocks” — a potion for perfectly aligned documentation. Base: Include Bitbucket for Confluence – summon live, up-to-date content straight from your repositories with a single URL. No more stale copy-paste rituals!

Survive in Jira – Track All Changes

Welcome to Jira Game - where only the most organized survive. Managing releases, pipelines, and changes in production can sometimes feel like a game of survival. One deleted task – gone forever. One unnoticed "Reopened" status and sprint is delayed. One missed update leads to deployment chaos. But what if you could track every change in Jira easily? 👀

Apps for ITSM

STM Issue Templates for Jira Cloud / Data Center

🥳🥳🥳 Happy Apptoberfest! 🎈🎈🎈 Is creating the same group of issues taking up too much of your valuable time? Then STM Issue Templates is here to help you. Features include: Having templates to allow you to specify one or more issues to create or one issue to update

Who you gonna call? BSM Busters!

We’ve all seen it: an ITSM portal that feels more like a haunted house than a help desk. Endless input fields where no one knows what to insert. Labels like “incident,” “Incident??,” “incdnt” haunting your backlog. Priorities that are unclear, so every request feels urgent… or ignored.

Mix & Fix – An Evergreen Recipe for Teamwork

At Apptoberfest 2025, we’re mixing apps like ingredients to create the ultimate teamwork recipe. This year, we’re kicking things off in the Collaboration & Teamwork category with a playful first pour. 👉 “Mix & Fix: The first drinks that solve your headaches instead of causing them.” The result? A demo as refreshing as your favorite drink — no hangovers, just clarity! Watch the demo and see how our apps mix together to solve real teamwork challenges.

Wednesday’s web: controlled collaboration with Microsoft 365 for Jira

Collaboration. A curious concept, fragile, chaotic, and usually doomed. And yet, for Atlassian Apptoberfest 2025, I find myself at the center of it. I, Wednesday Addams, represent yasoon and their Microsoft 365 for Jira app. Apparently, I am the mascot of controlled communication. How ironic. This is Wednesday’s web: A project board where every Microsoft Teams message, Outlook meeting, and email is captured, dissected, and ultimately buried alive inside Jira. Click here to see the demo

The swipe game: Smart Courses for Confluence

We’ve all been there at some point in life: 🚩 Red flags everywhere. 🚩 Swiping left again and again. 🚩 Not a single right turn in sight. And after a while, you just know… orange shades are not your colors anymore. You need a switch. Something more lively. Something easy-going. Something smooth. ✨ That’s exactly what happened to Hedi. From endless left swipes to finally finding his perfect match: the LMS built for Confluence "Smart Courses".

Watch It for Jira Cloud / Data Center

🥳🥳🥳 Happy Apptoberfest! 🎈🎈🎈 First of all, please don't forget to drop a like 👍 and comment 💬; we want to read your opinions and questions! This App gives you the power to control how you watch changes in projects. Features include: Trackers - Track changes in issues at a project level

Bake the Perfect Project Update Cake with Advanced Status Labels

It’s Apptoberfest season and we’re serving something special from the Izymes kitchen! Projects can feel like baking a complicated cake: the right ingredients, the right order, and the perfect timing. But when statuses are inconsistent or unclear, the result can be… a collapsed soufflé. In this fun cooking-show parody, our “chef” tries to bake a Project Update Cake: First attempt (messy) Ingredients labeled with confusing statuses like done???, In Prog, Completed(ish). Steps marked nearly complete, we’ll do later, Done! — but nothing matches. → Result: a deflated cake and a deflated team. Second attempt (delicious) Enter Advanced Status Labels: sleek pill-style labels with consistent categories and colors. Ingredients are clearly To-do, In Progress, Done. → Result: a perfect cake and perfect project clarity.

The Office Meets ProScheduler

It’s Apptoberfest again 🍻🍂. This year, we decided to do something a little different with TeamBoard ProScheduler. Instead of another how-to demo, we imagined what would happen if one of the most famously chaotic workplaces - Dunder Mifflin Scranton - got a proper project management tool. Because let’s be honest, organization isn’t exactly their strength. Dwight once staged a fire drill that nearly destroyed the office.

The Sprint That Always Starts & Stops Itself

We’ve all been there - the sprint’s supposed to start at 10 a.m. Monday, but it’s Wednesday before someone notices. Reports are off, velocity dips, and half the team’s asking, “Wait… did we start the sprint?” 😅That’s why we built Auto Sprint Start Stop, a “set-and-forget” Jira Cloud app by PgM Innovations - made for Scrum Masters and Agile teams. 🔹Auto-starts and stops sprints exactly when scheduled - no manual clicks. 🔹Moves open tickets to the next sprint or backlog automatically.

Manage Custom Fields!

A Jira Admin Walks Into Oktoberfest What happens when a Jira admin finally takes a weekend off and heads to Oktoberfest? He has the time of his life… until some project admin calls about a custom field. Luckily, he’s got Manage Custom Fields! One quick fix later, and he’s back to his beer. Yes, this is very real footage from Oktoberfest! Real people. Real steins. Definitely not generated with AI. If the hands look a little strange or the beer grips seem… inventive, that’s just what happens after a few rounds.

A draw.io demo like no other

We like to think that draw.io makes collaboration effortless, but we couldn’t resist taking that idea for a little spin during Apptoberfest! 🍂 So we set up a demo with a twist (and a few hilarious challenges along the way). The result? Check it out here Let’s just say diagramming under pressure has never looked this entertaining. Because great teamwork isn’t just about tools, it’s about having fun while creating something that works. 😉

Apps for Strategy & Planning

Mix & Fix – The Project Management Punch

Tired of projects that give you a headache instead of a high-five? At Apptoberfest 2025, we’re mixing apps like ingredients to create the ultimate teamwork recipe. Try our Project Management Punch! 🍂 Base: Navitabs - Navigation Macros for Confluence – give your project pages some helpful structure.

Plan Smarter, Sprint Faster - Meet The Sprint Planner

Cheers to the sprints that actually start ready! Because nothing slows momentum like realizing halfway through, “We planned 200 points… but QA was on training all week.” 😅 That’s why we built The Sprint Planner — a Jira Cloud app by PgM Innovations that turns chaotic sprint planning into a fast, data-driven conversation. 🔹 Plan in hours or Story Points — your sprint, your rules.

We Put Jira in a Pot and Let It Simmer: Apptoberfest Demo from the Ukrainian Jira Kitchen

Apptoberfest is where customers meet the humans behind the apps—so we invited you into our Ukrainian Jira Kitchen and cooked a project like borscht. Yes, there are beets. Yes, there are jokes. Yes, if you chop your backlog correctly, someone will cry—and that’s how you know it’s fresh. 🧅😭 This post is the back-story to the video: why the kitchen metaphor works, how it maps to strategy & planning, and how Time in Status is the spoonful of sour cream that makes everything… make sense. 🍶 Good borscht needs a recipe, a rhythm, and a taste test. So does delivery. Menu = strategy. If you cook everything, you cook nothing. 🧾

Hey, it's Apptoberfest 🎃🍂 again. This year, we're introducing someone new to the TimePlanner team 🙌 Meet Bob the stickman, our project manager! Unfortunately, things are not going so well for him. He's been stuck in the wild world of chaotic team management. Teams are scattered
