How Atlassian is redefining business collaboration (and fine art auctions)
Last week, Fortune wrote an article about our business model, our vision, and how we’re approaching business collaboration. Our DNA is in helping software teams build great products and making it easier to work together across teams. Lately, we’ve been focusing on expanding our product offerings to non-software teams, and applying these principles for all teams, including non-technical ones. Jira Service Desk, our newest offering and Atlassian’s fastest growing product to date, is a simple yet powerful service desk that helps not just IT, but all teams deliver help to their employees in a responsive and efficient way.
Hall joins Atlassian
We’re excited to announce that Atlassian has acquired Hall – a group chat service for business teams. In Hall, we found a fiercely talented team that shares Hipchat’s passion for improving the way teams communicate. We both believe that real-time, group chat transforms the way teams collaborate, builds stronger culture, and helps teams get work done faster. Hall has spent the last four years building a product that helps teams do exactly that – right down the road from our San Francisco office. As we watched Hall grow, we grew convinced that we should tackle this mission together.

Like hoodies and startups, software development and IT support are better together
Like hoodies and startups, peanut butter and jelly, cats and laptops, sriracha and everything, software development and IT support are better together. Incidents, feature requests, and bugs in the form of support tickets often need to be escalated to development. When developers prefer working in Jira, and IT teams are in other systems, linking support tickets […]

With Fisheye and Crucible 3.8, we’ve introduced a number of improvements to allow teams to increase their development speed.

Guest blog: Bulk Clone Professional – Advanced cloning & moving of issues in Jira
This is a guest blog post from Lars Broden of LB Consulting Group the maker of Bulk Clone Professional. Jira is a tool that enables development teams to plan and build amazing projects. When I began to use Jira in my everyday work, one of the features I used frequently was the cloning function. I quickly realized I would be able to save a lot of time if I had the ability to clone multiple issues in one go.

In Jira Service Desk 2.4, we’ve built an intelligent engine under the hood that automates common tasks and knows the next step so you don’t have to. This update includes: Automation: With a simple, intuitive UI, the automation engine performs actions based on specific events and conditions defined by you. Create action-based rules to do […]
Atlassian acquires Blue Jimp & Jitsi.org
We’ve acquired Blue Jimp, the mastermind team behind the Jitsi community. Jitsi is an open source project that includes the WebRTC Jitsi Videobridge, among other technologies. The Jitsi Videobridge relays video rather than mixing it which provides improved scale with higher quality and lower latency. These are very good things.
Plan better with Jira Portfolio 1.9
We’re excited to bring you Jira Portfolio 1.9, which makes planning even more realistic. The new capacity visualization makes it easy to see how much work can get done and provides transparency if targeted deadlines are not realistic. Flexible sprint configuration makes sure your portfolio plan reflects the way your team actually works, so you can accurately plan. And now you can update your teams’ work day settings so Jira Portfolio doesn’t think they’re working over the weekend and on Christmas.
Confluence 101: Lessons from a Confluence newbie
When I joined Atlassian, I had heard of Jira and Confluence, but had never used them. During my first day at the office, I was joined by other new hires and taken through our onboarding. We covered important items like which systems were tied to various passwords, the passcode for the alarm, and, most important, […]
Why we’re closing comments on our documentation
In the coming weeks we’re updating the site with better global navigation, cleaned-up information architecture, standardized page layouts, enhanced screenshots, and improvements to key content. We’re also making some important structural changes, particularly a decision to shut down page comments. The decision comes at no small cost to Atlassian’s technical writing team. All of us appreciate the chance to speak directly with customers and fielding questions and digging into specific use cases is a great way to learn the ropes of a product. So why did we make the call?
