Use Jira Cloud in a highly-regulated environment

Common obstacles to using Jira Cloud in highly regulated environments:

Steep learning curve

Navigating Jira Cloud’s extensive configuration options is time-consuming and can feel overwhelming.

Hidden compliance gaps

You need to know where Jira’s compliance gaps are and how to close them tightly.

Resistance from QA

Quality assurance stakeholders are often reluctant to accept cloud-based tools and agile development practices.

It doesn’t have to be that way:

Kill the learning curve

Avoid weeks or months of wasted trial-and-error by configuring Jira right the first time.

Close compliance gaps

Make your Jira Cloud site 100% audit-ready by understanding exactly where Jira’s off-the-shelf compliance gaps are and how to close them.

Win over QA

Learn how to address the specific concerns of QA teams and build trust in both Jira Cloud and your agile processes.

I can give you a head start

Hi! I’m Aaron.

Navigating Jira Cloud’s configurations and selecting apps from the Atlassian Marketplace can be overwhelming for any company.

And it feels 10x harder for us in the life scienceshealthcarefinance, and other highly regulated industries.

It doesn’t have to be so hard.

I’ve spent more than 15 years as a software engineer in the life sciences industry. And I’ve helped dozens of companies (including 11 of the world’s largest life science companies) modernize their development processes and toolsets.

But I had to learn everything the hard way. You don’t have to.

I can show you how to build an end-to-end SLDC process completely inside Jira Cloud. It includes proven agile workflows to support your developers, testers, and quality stakeholders. And you’ll be ready to respond to audits with confidence.
