You can use the command line to create Jira tickets. In the below one-liner, we’re going to bring in some standard json and create a ticket. We’ll use curl and use -u to define a username and password, then -X to define a POST and –data to define the contents of the post, wrapped in the single quotes below. Then -H defines the content type as json and a URL to your Jira rest endpoint, “Issues” in the below code: curl -D- -u krypted:MySuperSecretPassword -X POST --data '{"fields":{"project":{"key": “DOG”},”summary": “Make my feature better.”,”description": “Going to make everything better ever ever ever by doing things and by things I mean allll…

If a match is found, you’ll see information on the device (note: this is up on GitHub so you can change what fields you see).If you don’t find anything that matches a given pattern, you’ll get an error.

My Huffington Post Article: From Dungeon Master to SCRUM Master
My latest post on Huffington Post is “From Dungeon Master to Scrum Master: 15 Software Development Lessons from Dungeons and Dragons” and is a bit of a revamp of my D&D article from here, but geared towards SCRUM mastering and managing Software Development teams. You may find it fun and kitschy or you may find it dumb. I’m kinda’ ok with both (I’m learning that I can’t make all the people happy all the time). A sampling of that article: I started playing Dungeons and Dragons in about the 5th or 6th grade. I didn’t get good at it for a while, but once I did, I didn’t play much longer…

Article on Content Strategy on Huffington Post
I’ve been thinking a lot about content strategy and the why and when of how articles are posted.

That article went up on Huffington Post yesterday at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/charles-edge/the-importance-of-having-_2_b_9563304.html. A snippet of the article: Search engine optimization (SEO) involves strategies and techniques that, when used properly,…

How Product Managers Feel When New Features Are Loved By All
You get requests for features. Lots of requests. What do you pick? Why? Sure, vote up, vote down, statistics, choosing people you respect, looking at potential new customers, and tons of other attributes go into this, but at the end of the day, there’s a judgement call. And some people hate what you pick. But sometimes, everyone is into it. Yup.
