Inside Atlassian: building products, DevOps style
Let’s say your engineering team has gone agile. They work in sprints, collaborate, and are building a lot of great features. But there’s just one catch: you still have to wait for the release train to leave the station, and customers aren’t getting value fast enough. At Atlassian, we’ve discovered some best practices for building products, DevOps style. Let’s start with feedback; because no matter the product, your success is solely based on your users.

Be more than a functional programmer – be a functional engineer
I’ve felt resistance to functional programming and to functional programmers ever since functional programming became “a thing”. While I’m disappointed by the arguments made against functional programming, I am equally (if not more) frustrated that the functional programming point of view has not evolved, leading it to be easily derided as developer religion. It’s time to move the discussion forward. Because no matter our views on functional programming vs. object-oriented programming vs. whatever else, we all need to be functional engineers.
Learn to create a marketing workflow in the new ebook
We created the ebook “Atlassian for marketing teams: workflows” to help you begin to visualize your work. A marketing workflow helps support your projects and get them moving along on time, with all the assets and feedback they require. The ebook will get your marketing team familiar with the concepts of visualizing and implementing a workflow, and it offers examples and tips to get you going, whether your project involves managing a complex process with loads of stakeholders, or something less involved. A blog marketing workflow is offered as a familiar example, and the ways tools like Confluence and Jira Core make it come to life.
Inside Atlassian: how we do marketing project management with Jira Core and Confluence
Marketing can be a cyclical process. We marketers typically plan projects, assign work, review content, publish, and then…. start all over again. At the beginning of each quarter, we approach this process with bright-eyed enthusiasm, big ideas, and a clear plan of attack. But as the months wear on, and more (or unexpected) work accumulates, it can […]
7 imaginative ways business teams can track work in Jira Core
We built Jira Core because we realized business and back-office teams could benefit from Jira in the same ways software teams do. Jira Core extends the workflow functionality and customizability of Jira to business teams so they can track work, manage projects, and stay on top of everything. Jira Core lets business teams define their processes, break down and track issues, and organize work. Issues in Jira Core can represent all kinds of things: a task, a document… even a person. Just about anything you want to track can be an issue. Read on to see more of the many examples!
Transitioning from full-time school to full-time life
I’m Jamie, one of 80 new graduates to recently join Atlassian as a developer at our headquarters in Sydney. I’m in the middle of transitioning from “full-time study and part-time work” to just “full-time work”. Seems like that should be easy, right? It’s not. It’s hard in all kinds of ways I didn’t expect. Habits and attitudes that worked well for me and my peers during university are now unproductive in full-time life – and possibly toxic.

Inside Atlassian: tracking blog categories and performance with Jira custom fields
I can hold my own with math and numbers, but I don’t love them. I have to admit though, I’m starting to love data. Like many marketers, I spend a lot of time thinking about blogs. And blogging itself is becoming increasingly data-informed (if not fully data-driven, but that’s another story). How awesome is it that […]

Inside Atlassian: Jira workflows for tracking blog projects
Chances are, your marketing team manages blog projects on spreadsheets. You probably track who is working on it, what state it’s in, when it’s going to be published, what it’s about, how it fits into larger marketing campaigns… And that’s just the stuff you’re concerned with before it’s published. It’ll come as no surprise that Atlassian’s marketing team uses Jira Core, Confluence, and Hipchat to keep our blogs running smoothly. So today I’m going to get all meta with a blog about how we use Jira Core, including some example workflows, to track our blogs.
Using Jira Core, marketing and software teams get in sync
Successfully launching a new product is a complicated process – multiple teams are involved and each have a multitude of tasks to accomplish. Such a feat requires the help of two teams to work in sync. Software teams to develop the product and marketing teams to generate awareness, demand, and adoption. Traditionally, however, software and […]
