Inside Atlassian: stopping team dysfunction before it starts
This is not the story of a team that was obviously broken. On the surface, we looked like your typical, high-powered marketing team.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but over 100 million pages have been created in Confluence.

User testing in the software development process… when you don’t have a billion users
In DevOps circles, there’s a myth about the software development process: real software teams automate everything. Look at Facebook. Look at Google. Look at Etsy. Companies killing it at DevOps.

The surprising benefits of using emoticons in the workplace
At Atlassian we kind of emoticons. We use them constantly in our team chats and conversations, and they’re a big part of our company culture. We love them so much, we thought we’d conduct a study of how they are used in the workplace to see if anyone else feels the way we do. Our […]

Collaborative editing in Confluence 6.0 will change the way your team works
The way teams work together is fundamentally changing. The first shift came from bringing work out of hard drives and word documents and bringing them online.
