Walking the requirements documentation tightrope in an agile world
One of the exciting things I get to do as part of being a Product Manager at Atlasssian is talk to a lot of customers about how they build software. I hear about what works for them and the challenges faced by teams as they journey on their mission to build great products. One of […]

We’re organising another another DVCS meetup next Tuesday to discuss one of the most exciting change in the world of software happening at the moment: the impact of distributed SCMs like Git and Mercurial on development workflows and productivity. For this occasion we’re having an external speaker, Michael Neale, who will take us behind the […]
#Shipit23 #SF
“Why did I sign up for this?” It’s the question every participant in ShipIt Day inevitably asks him or herself at the 22nd hour of the 24-hour hackathon (typically when the Red Bull high has worn off, the last build just broke, and the fear of presenting in front of the entire office has set […]
Vive la git diff!
Diff. Patch. Change. Delta. Δ. Whatever you call it, diffs are pretty much the aggregate output of any developer’s day. A bunch of deletions and additions from a set of files that can be codified in a .patch file as a bunch of pluses, minuses and context indicators. ‐‐‐ a/todo.md +++ b/todo.md @@ -1,5 +1,4 […]
Keep up-to-date with the new Watch button
In my experience with Confluence, there are a plethora of pages I want to keep up with; some I already know about, others I don’t know about, and the rest I don’t know that I don’t know about (Say that ten times fast). Despite my best efforts to correct information deficit, I still miss out on important discussions […]
Releasing the DevOps Way pt. 1: Team Communication
Humans have been making software for a surprisingly long time: from the proto-software devised to decrypt Enigma-encoded transmissions in the 1940s, to the read-only program controlling the decent of Apollo lunar modules, to the dizzying array of apps we carry in our pockets and purses today. But throughout the computer-age revolution, one thing that hasn’t changed […]
News for Mac and iOS users. Big news.
Earlier this year we made a commitment to build native desktop apps for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Secretly, we also wanted to build better native mobile apps. Today, we’re proud to announce Hipchat for Mac 2.0 AND Hipchat for iOS 2.0. They’re leaner, faster, and, most importantly – they’re native.
Virgin Media loves Jira’s simplicity, flexibility and extensive reporting
In case you missed it in TechWorld last week Nick Good, Head of Technology Efficiency and Field Teams at Virgin Media, was tasked with tracking inefficiencies across the organization. Nick sent a team of internal “technical specialist” consultants to visit different business departments, including call centers and retail locations, and even to follow engineers on house […]

Several weeks ago we celebrated the success of our Atlassian Foundation‘s unique philanthropy model, which has produced more than $2.5M in donations to Bay Area non-profit Room to Read!

Visualize Your Roadmap
Backlog weighing you down? One of the most common challenges agile teams face is this: they lose the big picture. It’s hard to stay motivated if you only see small pieces–sprints and stories–and not the entire product your team is building. Team members need to be part of the vision and not just authors of arbitrary […]

Announcing the Winners of Codegeist 2013!
We wrapped up the seventh iteration of Atlassian’s add-on development contest, Codegeist, a few weeks ago. The contest ran from February 1 to May 31 and saw our developer ecosystem contribute close to 100 completely new add-ons to the Atlassian Marketplace. Devs could build whatever type of add-on they wanted–plugin, integration, client, mobile app, or anything else they could think […]
DevOps & Distributed Teams
Soon after joining Atlassian about 18 months ago, it was clear that this is a DevOps-minded crew. Not that there’s any coordinated effort around this. It’s simply a group of people dedicated to continuously improving the ways we work in our respective expertise, and the ways we work together across teams. Last month, we launched […]
Get in the zone with distraction free editing
The Distraction free editor add-on has been updated based on customer feedback. The toolbar is now accessible when in distraction-free mode, but takes up significantly less editor real estate. We’ve also made DFE a persistent setting. If you save a page while the DFE is on, the next edit you do will take you straight […]
