This is our space to celebrate wins, share what we're learning, spotlight the people behind the work, and keep everyone in the loop on what's coming next. We'll cover NBA model progress, automation experiments, leadership updates, and even a fun corner to make Mondays a little better. 😄

Energy brought to PODx
Behind the scenes: From scoping the intake form via MS Forms to shaping the editorial cadence, Shruti has been the connective tissue making this newsletter actually happen. Without that organising muscle, "monthly cadence" stays a slide; with it, June 1 becomes real.

Automation Spotlight
AI & Automation Corner 🤖
What the team is automating, plus a personal-level tip you can use today.
🤖
Jira → Excel Automation
Python · Atlassian API · IBUNBEES
Built a Python script that pulls IBUNBEES tickets from Jira Cloud API and dumps them straight into Excel — replacing what used to be a 40-minute manual export. Uses pagination via nextPageToken on the new /search/jql endpoint.
💡 Personal Automation Tip of the MonthStop copy-pasting Outlook calendar to Excel. Use Power Automate's "When an event is added" trigger → "Add row to Excel" action. Setup takes 5 minutes. Saves hours every week.
🧠 Claude Prompt of the Month"Act as a data-quality auditor. Profile this dataset for nulls, outliers, type mismatches, and join-key duplicates. Output as a markdown table with severity ratings."
