Inside Atlassian: how we use Jira Core for HR Project Management
The HR team at Atlassian was using excel and email to manage their projects. That is, until the bright-eyed Jira Core team approached ’em with a proposition: Implement Jira Core for them to manage their HR projects if they told us everything about the experience. Boom!
