Atlassian has been developing software for over twenty years, with Jira first coming out in 2002. Since then they have seen huge amount of ups with a few downs here and there. The trouble with all of this is that the software & therefore the business itself has a lifespan. An expiry date in which the product now is obsolete. So how does any company continue to not only make their existing products relevant, but continue to invest and create new products, keeping the company at the cutting edge?

Formerly the Point-A product, Fabric, Confluence now has access to native whiteboard functionality. During day 2 of the team ‘23 event, Atlassian announced the EAP of the new functionality. Lets quickly recap some of this stuff.

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.

TEAM ‘23, THE FLAGSHIP EVENT FOR ATLASSIAN IS SET TO BE A BANGER!

I mean, come on. We all know what is happening next week. But just in case you didn’t, Team ‘23, the flagship Atlassian event is in Vegas where we will get a chance to hear all the biggest announcements with all of our fellow Atlassian enthusiasts. There are four tracks you can choose from, depending on your needs to help fit the agenda and event around you.

Tech debt is all something I think we have experienced. While we all aim to not add technical debt to what we maintain, sometimes it is inevitable. While it may be inevitable, there are things we can actively do to better reduce and mitigate it. Last month Appfire and I had the privilege of holding a breakout session at the Atlassian Unleash event on this very topic, so let’s get going!

TEAM ‘23, THE FLAGSHIP EVENT FOR ATLASSIAN IS SET TO BE A BANGER!

This year, we return to Vegas, for what is predicted, to be with 4000 of our fellow Atlassian users. There are four tracks you can choose from, depending on your needs to help fit the agenda and event around you.

So that’s a wrap for here in Berlin. Atlassian Unleash was a blast for so many reasons, including having a chance to present with Appfire on reducing tech debt, so lets break it down and see what we learnt. Atlassian wanted the Unleash event to deep dive into the agile & DevOps experiences within the ecosystem. We saw the keynote focus on some of Atlassian’s newest adventures in the form of Jira Product Discovery & Compass.
