031 Marc Verstaen CEO of Anaxi The Interface Matters

I have to admit, I love having a native mobile app on my phone that makes it easy for me to work on my Jira issues when I'm on the go. The Jira instance I use every day is Server, so there is no mobile app, which isn't such a big deal mostly. I work in the office, sitting in a desk, and frankly, I don't feel a burning desire to work on my projects using my phone. But once Marc Verstaen, founder and CEO of Anaxi introduced me to his mobile app and I connected it to my Jira instance, I found it liberating. The simple fact that I can scroll through my filters, check in on tasks I am working on and also comment and assign, makes me more responsive to my colleagues without feeling like I am sitting down to work.

On this episode of Nice Work! we talk to Marc about the interface he is building for Jira (and Github), why he is doing it, and what it means for working more effectively.

Yes! Some of you may have noticed that we have not published an episode of Nice Work! since late 2018. I know you have missed it. I have certainly missed talking to so many smart guests about how they use the Atlassian suite to do great things. So, we're bringing it back. We have several cool guests lined up. And we will be on-location at Atlassian Summit 2019 in Las Vegas running episodes of the show from the Expo floor. Please come by the ServiceRocket booth and say hello.
