Inside Atlassian: how the Portfolio for Jira team uses Portfolio for Jira
Long-term planning and agile: is it really possible? Even when using an agile approach, there’s still a need to forecast over a long time period.

How to graduate from email support with Jira Service Desk
First, it’s important to remember that change is an evolution. It doesn’t just happen overnight. Having realistic goals means it will be more exciting once your team hits them out of the park. After Jira Service Desk is set up, customers can contact support by either emailing requests (which then become tickets) or through the customer portal. Ideally, all customers would use the customer portal so the right information is given from the start and so their requests can be categorized easily.

Stash levels up deployment flexibility with AWS support
Flexibility is an important consideration for all professional teams, whether it concerns infrastructure, workflow, or scalability needs. It’s a factor that is always first and foremost for us when we’re building products and it’s something our customers have come to know and love about Atlassian.

Gone are the days when on-premise solutions were the status quo – with the advent of affordable, secure, and scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions, we’re now seeing a trend towards deployments in the cloud or a hybrid mix of both.
Graduate from email support: How to set up email support with Jira Service Desk
If you rely on email for internal support, chances are valuable time is wasted going back and forth trying to get the right information. Work is assigned inefficiently, leading to slower resolution times and unhappy customers. Plus, you’re not able to report on progress to show the value of IT to the rest of the business.
Collecting requests the easy way with Jira Service Desk
We often collect feedback and requests from people outside of our team. If they find a bug, need something done, or have a feature request – somehow and some way, they need to reach us. As an Atlassian, I prefer working in Jira. It’s my favorite place to plan, track, and get things done, however, I find that sending colleagues (who are often non-technical) to Jira introduces them to an unfamiliar interface they don’t necessarily know how to navigate.
