Working to be the change that you (the customer) seek
Who loves feedback? I can you tell that we do. We love it so much that we’ve created a team dedicated to seeking, synthesizing, and taking action on feedback from our customers.

Inside Atlassian: stand-ups for distributed and co-located teams
Stand-up is one of the fundamental parts of agile development, and it’s often the most misunderstood. Let’s be real: stand-ups by themselves don’t make your team agile. They aren’t about inflating egos or justifying job descriptions. They aren’t a time to plan; Sprint planning is for planning. They also aren’t the only time to mention blockers. If you’re stuck, ask for help!
