Build With People Who Get It

Work side-by-side with experts who’ve solved these problems before. You get clear answers fast, with people who actually understand your problem.

Build What Actually Matters

Focus only on the systems and steps your team truly needs. No confusing theory. Just the work that makes your setup stronger and easier to use.

Built Now, Live Monday

Leave with real fixes already done — boards, workflows, automations and more. Ready to turn on when you’re back at work on Monday.

Pick your learning track.

Tracks runs all day. You build a real solution — not a prototype, not a demo. 

Rovo

AI Agents

Your team is doing work Rovo should be doing. Leave with agents deployed and running.
Configure Rovo to automate triage, kill manual reporting, and put AI into your actual Jira and Confluence environment — not a sandbox demo.

Forge

Forge Apps

Jira can’t do what you need out of the box. Build the app that makes it.

PM

Project Management

Your team doesn’t know what’s next. Fix that. Build the system that tells them.

Design a clean intake-to-delivery workflow with automation and reporting so nothing falls through the cracks again.

    Need manager approval?

    Subject: Request to attend Build IT Together (Jira Implementation Workshop)

    Hi [Manager’s Name],

    I’m requesting approval to attend Build IT Together, a 1-day intensive Jira implementation workshop happening in Anaheim on May 4th (the day before Atlassian Team ’26).

    Unlike a standard conference where you just listen to keynotes, this is a hands-on build session. I’ll be sitting in a small group with elite Atlassian consultants to actually architect and fix our specific workflows.

    I am planning to join the [Insert Track: Rovo / Forge / Project Management / ESM] track.

    By attending, I will bring back:

    • A fully built, ready-to-deploy system tailored to our current bottlenecks.

    • Proven integration frameworks (like connecting MS Teams to Jira) so we stop paying for redundant tools.

    • Direct troubleshooting for the configuration issues we’ve been stuck on for months.

    The workshop seat is $447. This is significantly cheaper than hiring an Atlassian consultant for a few consulting hours.

    You can see the details and the experts running the sessions here: https://buildittogether.events

    Let me know if we have the budget for this so I can lock in my seat before the build groups fill up.

    Thanks,
    [Your Name]
