5 habits to drop immediately for a successful 2018
[cta]It’s no secret that our world moves quickly. Start-ups launch at a rate of about 1240 per day in the U.S. alone. New technologies pop up faster than toadstools after rain and change the way we think about pretty much everything. Geographies previously thought of as “remote” are now connected and ready to buy. In such a volatile business […]
5 ways working remotely changed the way I think about teamwork
People talk a lot about remote work these days, but with most things, you never truly know until you’ve experienced it. I’ve learned quite a bit about remote teamwork along the way and I thought I’d share some lessons I learned as developer and architect.
When companies ban remote work in the name of collaboration, what are they really saying?
[cta]The debate over remote work rages on. At the heart of the issue is collaboration and, by extension, creativity, and innovation. How well can teammates really work together when they’re not in the same building? Don’t we need that intense level of interaction to spark new ideas? Surely, teams are more effective when they’re sitting side by […]
Forget about “fail fast” – just fail well
Go ahead, include it with the others. “Fail” has gone full buzzword. Shield your eyes (if you can) from the event banners, the blog post headers, the office posters, all with “fail” and “fail fast” writ large. Can’t we do better than grease the wheels of the failure bandwagon? Let’s forget failure. What matters is […]
How and why we use coding challenges to interview developers
Hiring is one of the most time-intensive and critical things we do. [cta]This means time is precious. We can’t waste any on interviewing or hiring the wrong people. That’s why every engineering candidate we talk to goes through a set of coding challenges. We know there are different schools of thought on this (and some […]
3 ways to improve collaboration by putting culture first
When I see high-performing teams working well together, I can attribute it to the people, tools, and practices every time. When I see dysfunctional teams, they almost always have the same tools as their high-performing counterparts. The difference is in the people and practices. In an age where work is increasingly about creative problem-solving (i.e., now and the […]
Don’t know how to get feedback at work? Here are some practical ways to start
Peer feedback is so important to your career growth and development. But, what’s the best way to ask for it? Most companies have at least a yearly performance review process but in reality, the best way to continually grow and learn from your experiences at work is by getting feedback on a regular basis. Kim […]
DesignOps: Unleashing the potential of our design studio
When your company grows, the demands placed on your design organization fundamentally change – there are more moving parts, and the systems and processes that used to work when the entire design team could sit in the same conference room start to break down. It’s an ongoing challenge, so we thought we’d share how we’re […]
Let’s open up work, together
When Scott and I started Atlassian 15 years ago, we knew that we wanted to build an enduring, values-driven company. And though we’ve learned a lot and accomplished a lot since those early days, I truly believe we’re just getting started. We’re making bold bets to shape the future of teamwork through our Platform, our […]

Why everyone in IT should think like a product manager
“The first thing we think about is: What do our users want? What do they need to get the job done? And, how are we going to deliver that?” No, this is not a Product Manager at a company like Facebook, Amazon, or the next hot startup. This is Ross Chippendale, the Head of Workplace […]

I ran my kids like an Atlassian team for a month
My wife recently went away on a business trip to the U.S. so I decided to experiment on my children. What if, I thought, I ran my kids like an Atlassian team? My boys are awesome, but anybody with three boys children knows that things can get a little bit crazy at times. My goal […]
