A couple of weeks ago, a group of us took a trip to Northeast Portland to volunteer for the Oregon Humane Society. Upon arrival, they gave us a quick orientation and went over some safety protocols, but also gave us a great history of the humane society. In case you’re a numbers/facts person, here is […]
We recently hosted a series of Code School sessions within Jama aimed at teaching non-engineers how to program. I worked on two 90-minute classes that taught some of our Sales and Customer Service reps how to interact with the Jama API using Python. By the end of it, they had the skills to automate some […]
Interviewing is one of the most important activities for an Engineering team experiencing growth. Hiring the right person will make your team stronger and add to your culture, while hiring the wrong person can be costly for your company and your team’s morale.

Jama rolled out our REST API earlier this year, and we couldn’t wait to see what our customers would do with it. We’ve also had opportunities to work with organizations on good ways to leverage the API, including an exciting and unique engagement with Portland State University (PSU) computer science students in their Capstone Program. We’ve had […]
It’s easy to get lost in work. We end up spending so much of our time on our work, in the building, and with our co-workers, that it really begins to become a part of our actual life. This is why it is so important to also highlight the activities that people do outside of […]
As Jama grew, our Engineering department began to change overnight. Teams were outputting consistent velocities, we had upped our abilities technically on how we measured areas such as performance and quality, we began 8-week planning cycles, we doubled our Engineering team and we had a strong roadmap to follow but for some reason it didn’t […]
