3 ways humans still have the upper hand in the age of AI
If you’ve been following technology news, then you know that robots and AI are here to stay. They route you home, book your hotel, and even vacuum your carpet while you are away.

Is your team making bad decisions? The culprit is likely your conversations
“Oh no, here we go again,” thought Laura as she sat in her weekly engineering meeting. Two of her engineers, Rob and Rachel were at it again.

Businesses are terrible at innovating. Sure, recruiters promise innovative jobs, companies claim to sell innovative merchandise, and shareholders rave about innovation.

At Atlassian, we’re constantly studying teamwork. In that research, we know it’s best to start with ourselves; to understand how our teams work together first before applying our knowledge elsewhere.

Team building, in prison
This month, 50 Atlassians participated in a rather unique team-building day. We went to prison. As part of taking the Pledge 1% pledge, Atlassian gives 1% of employee time to social causes. That translates into roughly 5 days each year that Atlassians use for all manner of social good – volunteering at a food bank, […]
