Good day to you all. Firstly I want to apologise for missing October, but it comes with a good reason. October was a very busy month for me as I got married & had my honeymoon. I was STRONGLY encouraged to not be working. But don’t worry, I have included all of the big announcements over the last two months into a single blog post for you all. So let’s get started.

Welcome to the next instalment in our ICYMI series. In this series we take a look back over the last month for Atlassian products. This month we are doing things a little different as we go vlogging and have a special guest.

Atlassian today released their new research report on how developers view their workplace environment. It is safe to say that the overall census is not a good one.

Automation is innevitable, but how do we make sure we avoid common pitfalls and set ourselves up with enterprise ready rules. Check out the re-run of Rodney, Darryl & I’s Team 24 talk with Appfire.

Welcome all to another catch up. This week we are casting our eyes back to last October. Yes I know this is a little while ago, but it is for a good reason. Anybody remember?

Well hasn’t the last year flown! I cannot believe we are already talking about the Atlassian team event again so soon. While we are still a fair few weeks away, it will fly by. So what do we need to discuss?

I cannot believe a month has already passed since we welcomed in the ICYMI series. But when a new month begins, we need to make sure we look back at the previous and all the amazing things that have happened in the ecosystem that is Atlassian.

Welcome to a brand new series of blogs where we now look back over the last month for Atlassian products. Atlassian like a lot of software companies are of course release new things daily. This blog is not going to be a complete catch up of everything I or someone in the community has noticed over the last month, but more on the larger release items or the new EAP & other important announcements from Atlassian.

What an amazing time we had down in Portsmouth for our Christmas party. ACE Solent was looking to send 2023 out with a bang as we celebrated the brilliance that was the server products. They gave so many companies a great platform to work with as well as many of us, including myself, a career. ACE Solent were joined by Andy Fernandez from Hycu. They gave us a great presentation around the importance of data retention and securing your data, regardless of whether it is a SaaS product.

Only in the last year did I start to truly understand the scale of the Atlassian community. I always knew the community website existed and have loved the openness and help received from it. But this last year I felt like I wanted to do more to give back. I felt like coming a community leader was the right step. Bring small intimate events to Atlassian enthusiasts like myself to the south outside of London.

Last week we managed to see this all the way through. We finally managed to launch the ACE Solent chapter last week. This week I just wanted to discuss a little on the community, why it is vital to product success and a little on this specific event.

Teams often struggle to roll up and estimate above epics. Why? mainly because it is a finger in the wind estimation because they are not able to look back over previous work for similar sized items to understand timings etc. We have all seen this issue before, so here is how I solved it in my day job.

Automation is currently the rage, but that’s for good reasons. It is making our lives as humans simpler and has for thousands of years. When someone mentions automation, a first (and semi natural) response is “that sounds like too much work to set up”. We as humans are inherently lazy. We see the mountain ahead rather then what’s beyond. While no automation is perfect and yes can take time to fine tune, they are there to make simpler in areas, so we can focus on areas that need that attention.
