Team building, in prison
This month, 50 Atlassians participated in a rather unique team-building day. We went to prison. As part of taking the Pledge 1% pledge, Atlassian gives 1% of employee time to social causes. That translates into roughly 5 days each year that Atlassians use for all manner of social good – volunteering at a food bank, […]
Introducing Teamder™
Despite the myriad advances in workplace technology, we’re still forming teams the old fashioned way. We pour over org charts. We obsess about bringing the right blend of skills and view points to the table. And we do it all from the top down – until today. Introducing Teamder™ – the latest member of the Atlassian family.
Hello Adolescence – An Atlassian Happy Birthday
I don’t really know what Atlassian looks like from the outside, but from the inside, it feels like a rocket – whooshing forward day-by-day to the great unknown. I’ve been here for nearly four years now, and it still feels exactly the same. Each day a huge burst of incredible energy and excitement and challenge […]

Announcing Starter Day: Six Great Companies Share Their Secrets
Starter Day is a celebration of building great companies. We’ve assembled founders and executives from six kick-ass technology companies – Redfin, Boxee, Pandora, Hubspot, Scoutlabs and Aardvark – all customers of ours, to share their experiences around what it takes to make it.

Fourwalls has gone rogue
The Interwebs has responded positively to yesterday’s announcement about our newest product release – fourwalls. We even stumbled across a Hitler’s Bunker parody video about the application, and wanted to include it here for other fans of fourwalls. Twitter has been awfully chatty about fourwalls as well. Our personal favorite really captures the potential of […]

A Confederacy of Phreaks

Visual requirements management in Jira
The Balsamiq Mockups for Jira plugin lets you quickly attach UI mockups to any Jira issue, turning Jira into an even better collaboration tool for certain tasks – especially design and UI projects – and helping the issue requester communicate exactly what she needs from the assignee.

Gingerbread houses, the Atlassian way
Black Friday, the Super Bowl, dinner with the in-laws – the holidays are always good for some competition. In keeping with that theme, the Atlassian San Francisco office decided to follow our annual Halloween pumpkin carving contest with an inaugural holiday gingerbread house building competition. The rules: each team gets a bona fide gingerbread house […]
Whoops – You’ve Got Mail
This morning we had a little bit of a snafu. A customer, with the best of intentions, added the entire Jira User Group to the Cc Group field – a custom field created for our Jira instance – of their support issue on support.atlassian.com. They didn’t realize that this group has more than 30,000 members. […]
All your streams are belong to us
Activity Streams are a very useful new feature of Jira 4, but you might not realize how pervasive they are, or all the cool stuff you can do with them. Before we get to that, proper homage should be paid to Facebook, who really pioneered the concept through the Facebook News Feed. The News Feed […]
