In this news breaking webinar Miles Faulkner and George Spalding discuss the evolution of ITIL 4. It’s been nearly a year now since we had Troy DuMoulin with us to discuss velocity across the enterprise and we wanted to revisit ITIL 4’s progress to date.

We’re discussing research around enterprise adoption of ITIL 4 as well as the challenges of breaking down silos.

Planning Webinar Recap

At Blended Perspectives, we’re keen to share our extensive knowledge on all things Atlassian through our webinars and we’re very happy that so many of you choose to join us both live and on-demand. However, we also recognize that in the busy work day many would be viewers struggle to find an hour to set aside. Therefore, from now on all of our webinars will be accompanied by a brief summary that covers all of the key points so no one has to miss out.

Our recent webinar was on “Planning! Planning! Planning!”. Planning is a hugely significant category and we thought that it was about time for a recap, especially with recent developments–in particular Jira Work Management. Here’s our summary of all of the main points from the webinar:

[Webinar] Integrated ITSM – Beyond JSM – April 15, 2021

Watch our Integrated ITSM – Beyond JSM webinar. We will show how Service Management can be a fully “enmeshed” capability with other enterprise processes.

[Webinar] Productivity in Confluence – October 21, 2021

There are many reasons to link issues, and many ways to do so. To use Insight or not? Customers still often ask this question. Issue-linking provides the foundational capability for many of our solution blueprints, from PPM to GRC and beyond. We will review many of the key use-cases for linking issues and third-party apps that provide this functionality. We’ll cover data catalogues, asset records in Jira, requests from Service Management, and the power and limitations of object graphing.

Webinar: Real-Time Portfolio & Project Management at Rogers – Client Case Study

This webinar is a case study of how Rogers moved from a fragmented approach for Project and Portfolio Management to a consolidated platform using Confluence, Jira and Jira Service Management along with the main planning engine: BigPicture by SoftwarePlant; other apps include Comalatech’s Document Management, Insight, Eazy BI and more.

Webinar – Portal Apps for Confluence and Jira – June 24, 2021

Join us for a review of portal technologies for Atlassian-based environments, answering what can be a surprisingly tricky question: how role-workers can get into context to work.
Jira & Confluence are the platforms of choice for over 60,000 organizations. Worldwide, millions of knowledge workers use customized Atlassian workspaces tailored to their departmental and teams’ needs.

Real Time PPM (Portfolio & Project Management)

This webinar will cover all the essentials of what makes a world-class PPM in terms of processes and tools. By architecting Jira and Confluence with a range of additional apps we can show how real-time consolidated reporting can be achieved reducing integration costs and complexity, huge savings in PM administrative time, improving tactical team performance and a range of other benefits.
