Set up version control of job configurations
Keep jobs simple! Don't put a ton of bash in each job. If a job needs to do something complex, put it in a script in GitHub and check it out as needed.
Use templated builders to simplify common tasks
Keep all scripts in version control - avoid running scripts that live on the Jenkins server filesystem
Don't install unnecessary plugins - plugins are often written by third parties and can interact with each other in strange ways
Use LDAP authentication if possible for traceability - avoid anonymous access
