Task Management in Jira: Stories vs. Tasks in Agile Workflows

Agile frameworks like Scrum provide flexibility in structuring workflows, which can sometimes lead to confusion, especially when using project management tools such as Jira.

This is especially true for tasks and story issue types, as both exist at the same hierarchy level, and teams often struggle to determine when to use one over the other.

Although these issue types share the same hierarchy in Jira, they are intended for different purposes. By understanding their roles, teams can better organize their work, improve their planning, and enhance their reporting.

In this article, I’ll explore the purpose of tasks and stories, how they can work together effectively, and best practices for managing them in Jira.

How to Link Issues in Jira Manually and Automatically

Connecting issues in Jira serves many purposes. For instance, it allows you to track dependencies between tasks, identify blockers, and visualize these blockers in a timeline view. As a result, you can better organize your team’s work, enhance planning, and improve collaboration.

In this blog post, I explain how to link issues in Jira using different methods. You can link issues automatically or manually from a Jira board or issue view. Additionally, we give you useful tips on how to make working with linked issues more convenient and efficient.

Going down the rabbit hole of Postgres 18 features by Tudor Golubenco

PostgreSQL 18 just hit stable. Big swing! Async IO infrastructureis in. That means lower overhead, tighter storage control, and less CPU getting chewed up by I/O. Adddirect IO, and the database starts flexing beyond traditional bottlenecks. OAuth 2.0? Native now. No hacks needed. UUIDv7? Built-in su.. read more  

Going down the rabbit hole of Postgres 18 features by Tudor Golubenco
The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) is an industry-backed foundation focused on strengthening the security of the global open source software ecosystem. It brings together major technology companies, cloud providers, open source communities, and security experts to address systemic security challenges that affect how software is built, distributed, and consumed.

OpenSSF was launched in 2021 and operates under the Linux Foundation, combining efforts from earlier initiatives such as the Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) and industry-led supply chain security programs. Its mission is to make open source software more trustworthy, resilient, and secure by default, without placing unrealistic burdens on maintainers.

The foundation works across several key areas:

- Supply chain security: Developing frameworks, best practices, and tools to secure the software lifecycle from source to deployment. This includes stewardship of projects like sigstore and leadership on SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts).

- Security tooling: Supporting and incubating open source tools that help developers detect, prevent, and remediate vulnerabilities at scale.

- Vulnerability management: Improving how vulnerabilities are discovered, disclosed, scored, and fixed across open source projects.

- Education and best practices: Publishing guidance, training, and maturity models such as the OpenSSF Best Practices Badge Program, which helps projects assess and improve their security posture.

- Metrics and research: Advancing data-driven approaches to understanding open source security risks and ecosystem health.

OpenSSF operates through working groups and special interest groups (SIGs) that focus on specific problem areas like securing builds, improving dependency management, or automating provenance generation. This structure allows practitioners to collaborate on concrete, actionable solutions rather than high-level policy alone.

By aligning maintainers, enterprises, and security teams, OpenSSF plays a central role in reducing large-scale risks such as dependency confusion, compromised build systems, and malicious package injection. Its work underpins many modern DevSecOps and cloud-native security practices and is increasingly referenced by governments and enterprises as a baseline for secure software development.
