Atlassian RoadTrip: San Francisco

And We’re Off!

Charlie made his way around the office and a few spots in San Francisco.  We caught up with him at Lombard Street which is the most crooked street in the world!  He then stopped in at the Atlassian office in San Francisco for RoadTrip.

Our first stop for RoadTrip connected us with some great customers in San Francisco, including Build.com, Kixeye, Charles Schwab, and Broadcom. We even met with 7 CS students from Belgium who want their university to start using Atlassian tools to teach students how software teams really work!

President Jay Simons shared a behind-the-scenes look at how the Jira team builds great software, with details on our product design, quality assistance methods, and how we dogfood our own products. Bryan Rollins, Jira Business Manager, from our Jira team in Sydney discussed ways to boost team productivity and enhance collaboration, and our mascot Charlie enjoyed some camera time with his adoring public.

Special thanks to our Atlassian Expert partners who joined us in San Francisco: Appfire and CustomWare.  Atlassian Experts help deliver an incredible experience with our products.
