SPECIAL GUEST

WHAT IF i CAN’T GO?

No worries. Atlassian has you covered. You can get live coverage of the event with the free digital pass. Check that out HERE.

What to look forward to?

I personally am really looking forward to experiencing more with how they are making Atlassian applications open for more teams. We have seen some major improvements in the work management space. Most recently, thanks to Atlassian Unleash, I am really looking forward to seeing how they continue to grow their open DevOps mentality. What new integrations will come? How will both Product Discovery & Compass continue to grow or will we hear of their release out of Beta?

What’s my schedule?

Personally I will be following mostly the ITSM & Agile/DevOps tracks. Most of my user base is within this zone and most of the developments will be coming out here. Of course I am incredibly excited for the keynotes. Atlassian, like always will want to drop some of their biggest items in those sessions so make sure you are there! But outside of the keynotes, what caught my eye for some good breakout sessions? Well here is just a few I will get to:

  • Seamless collaboration between Amazon and Jira - Integrating your AWS stack to your development.

  • 5 ways to turn value stream into impact - Learn how to take those all important metrics sat on your dashboards and turn them into successful and impacting change.

  • Art of science and teamwork - A look at how creativity & automation can keep your business at the forefront of success.

  • incident management in space - Learn how Appfire can help provide an out of this world incident management process with JSM.

  • Enterprise grade cloud security - Atlassian showcasing how they keep us secure in the cloud.

  • From impossible alone to unstoppable together - Learn how Atlassian connects the full view of work across your dev, IT, and business teams

  • Jira transformation story - Learn how to effectively hack consolidation for the better.

And of course my own talk with Appfire - Escaping the admin black hole. How we can effectively scale our ecosystem while maintaining control and governance.

But away from the talks, I am really looking forward to getting to see all those Atlassian enthusiasts. From community leaders, to marketplace vendors. Solution partners to Atlassian themselves. The booth floor will be packed with great new technology and excitement. I have been collecting ideas from all over the business for weeks for areas of improvement, making sure I am fully armed for the time away from sessions. Get speaking to your stakeholders, find out what there pain points are. Then you can walk that floor looking for solutions to take back. A sure fire way to make Team ‘23 an absolute necessity in your calendar every year.

Let me know if you are in Vegas next week. Lets grab a drink and chat!
