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. People are the most important part of building software and we want to […]
“I jumped at the chance to participate in this workshop because, while I taught myself HTML in 1998, I have been woefully out of touch with what makes a website work since then. Django Girls appeared to be an approachable group of people with an excellent mission. Besides, what did I have to lose?” says Kristina […]
The sand is warm and the sun makes it perfect swimsuit weather. Three women, a girl, and a man are enjoying a lovely day on the coast: fashionable sunglasses, skimpy swimwear, big smiles. Californians? You’d think, except it’s an old photograph taken at the Caspian Sea. Next slide. A young woman walks on the same beach. […]
It was an amazing night to meet new people and network with other technology enthusiast in a relaxed environment. Thank you to all the PDX Tech Crawlers that made the trek over to Jama last night.

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 […]
PDX Women in Tech has humble beginnings — very humble, in fact. In late 2011, after a thrilling experience at the Grace Hopper Women in Computing Conference in Portland, I felt sad. I was sad because all the smart as hell women went home to their respective cities. I would probably never hear Sheryl Sandberg speak in […]
