Collaborate from anywhere with Confluence for iPhone

Teams need a way to work smarter. We think making teams smarter is the ultimate form of productivity. Our first mission to help teams work smarter was making it easy for anyone to create rich content in Confluence. But creating great content is only half the battle. All this rich content needed to be available beyond the confines of the desktop and office, so teams could keep moving projects forward. We needed to make it just as easy for any team member to contribute and build upon the content as it is to create it – from anywhere, on-the-go. That’s why we built the new Confluence for iPhone app.

Agile roadmap planning done right with Jira Software and Portfolio for Jira

Agile software development supports a release plan, but it’s challenging to coordinate that on a multi-team level when you’ve got a lot of dependencies between teams. Rosetta Stone, a language learning technology company, found a solution to this challenge by bringing their entire development organization together about once per quarter to map out 10 to 12 weeks of work. And last week, I was lucky enough to watch how they do this at their 5th program increment planning (dubbed “PI5”). Here’s how it worked.

How to use group chat to strengthen company culture

Think about how you communicate with the people on your team and in your company. In today’s offices, with distributed teams across the globe, we often don’t have the luxury of just walking up and saying, Yo. This inevitable lack of face time (to say nothing about the missed opportunities to practice your Rocky Balboa voice) leads to more impersonal forms of communication, like email. And over time, a disconnected feeling grows and it affects culture. So, if you can’t be together, you’ve got to replace that feeling of being together. A great way to do this is with group chat, because it encourages communication. And company culture is rooted in the ways teammates and coworkers communicate.
