	Over the past few decades, securing remote access has become monumentally more complex. Remote work, with all of its benefits, has also furthered the threats of shadow IT and unauthorized remote access.
</p>

<p>
	Companies now need to secure their systems by guarding five pillars: identities, applications, devices, data, and networks.
</p>

<p>
	Even so, there’s a gap between the people, devices, and applications that we trust to access sensitive data, and those that actually do in practice (this is called the “Access-trust Gap”). As such, we created 1Password Extended Access Management® to give companies complete visibility and control over the user identities and devices that access their resources.

	The conference room falls silent. The projector hums quietly, displaying yet another requirements document that will likely join thousands of others in the corporate graveyard of unused solutions. Somewhere between “The system shall” and “User acceptance criteria,” we’ve lost sight of what truly matters.
</p>

<p>
	Requirements aren’t working anymore. Here’s why — and more importantly, what should replace them.

	What is a deadline? For some, it's a secret line that should never be crossed but only quietly approached and quickly completed. For others, deadlines exist, but somewhere indirectly - if I have time to complete the task, I will. If I don't make it, nothing terrible will happen.
</p>

<p>
	However, when working on a particular project, each task depends on the others; the overdue deadline for one issue can become a major blocker in the development.
</p>

<p>
	To never miss a deadline when using Jira, you'll want to effectively manage and monitor time, status, and other relevant metrics.

	Ineffective communication affects nearly half of all workers, presenting a common challenge: leadership messages that aren’t delivered clearly or efficiently. Improving top-down communication is essential to aligning everyone with the company’s goals and fostering collective progress. This article delves into what top-down communication entails, its common obstacles, and effective strategies for improvement.

	Do you ever create several different diagrams on a Confluence page and find yourself constantly leaving the Gliffy editor to update each one separately? Want a way to sketch your work in one spot and finalize it an another — without a ton of jumping back and forth?
</p>

<p>
	With Gliffy's new multi-page functionality, you can work with multiple diagrams at once by creating additional tabs—each one has the full functionality of the Gliffy editor. I've heard from our customers that we're great for complex, technical diagramming, so as Gliffy's PM I'm always looking for functionality and improvements that help you best handle that complexity. Really excited about this addition!!

<p style="background-color: #ffffff; margin: 12px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none;">
	The technical approach that we are using will leverage two different keys: an internally generated ID plus an additional, separate key that is what will be shown to your users. 
</p>

<p style="background-color: #ffffff; margin: 12px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none;">
	This approach is represented in the UI as:
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		System space key = internally generated ID 
	</li>
	<li>
		<span>Space key = the visible alias that's seen by your users</span>
	</li>

	In any project or team, tracking the efficiency of issue resolution is key to improving productivity and identifying bottlenecks. This week’s report offers a detailed visualization of how issue resolution performance has evolved over time, allowing teams to gain actionable insights into their workflows. Let's break down what this report reveals.

	Cycle time is the amount of time it takes for a task to move from the start to the finish line. In Agile, cycle time helps teams see how quickly they can deliver value to their customers while finding ways to do things faster without sacrificing quality.
</p>

<p>
	Cycle time usually complements two metrics: lead time and throughput. While lead time measures the total time from when a request is made until it's delivered, cycle time focuses only on the active work phase. Throughput, on the other hand, looks at how much work is completed over a certain period.

	Is your asset management process in Jira truly as efficient as it could be? Managing assets can quickly become chaotic, with outdated records, compliance risks, and missed maintenance deadlines leading to costly errors. Without regular audits, minor issues can snowball into significant setbacks. The good news? Jira, paired with the right asset tracking tools, simplifies the auditing process, ensuring your data stays accurate and your business stays on track.

	<a href="https://plantuml.com/" rel="external nofollow">PlantUML</a> is a flexible tool that makes it easy and quick to make different kinds of diagrams using a simple and intuitive language. Its capabilities and its design allowing to define diagrams in simple text files make it a valuable asset for technical documentation.<br>
	<br>
	One of its biggest advantages is how easily it integrates with version control systems like Git. This means you can store your diagrams right alongside your code, making it simple to review changes, track versions, and collaborate with others. It's no wonder so many professionals prefer using PlantUML for their documentation needs—it makes the whole process smoother and more efficient.

	We all know that it is important to stay ahead of the competition. However, it requires more than just maintaining the status quo. More specifically, it demands continuous innovation.
</p>

<p>
	But then, having great ideas is not enough; organizations need a structured way to manage these ideas and turn them into actionable initiatives. This is where idea management comes into play.
</p>

<p>
	Idea management is the systematic process of capturing, evaluating, prioritizing, and implementing ideas within an organization. It transforms the creative insights of employees, customers, and stakeholders into practical solutions that drive growth and success.
