When developers try to support the products they build, they often oscillate between two pitfalls: neglect and burnout. In this presentation, you'll learn how to build a responsive, stable support infrastructure for products without running developers ragged. We’ll talk through onboarding a first-tier support team, educating users on how to ask for help, and using automation to make responses consistent and efficient. Finally we'll cover how Jira Service Desk and the Atlassian Community site work together as support forums across a wide suite of products.
