🚀 Strategy, Simplified: Say Hello to the Atlassian Strategy Collection

[#1]

Ever feel like your organisation’s strategy is on one page, your execution on another, and your people are reading an entirely different book? You’re not alone.

At Team ’25, Atlassian introduced something new for the leaders in the room: the Atlassian Strategy Collection — a powerful set of tools built to help execs, HR, PMOs, and portfolio leads turn ambitious strategies into real results. And honestly? It couldn’t have come at a better time.

🤹‍♀️ Juggling too many priorities?

According to Atlassian’s 2024 State of Teams report,

🧠 64% of knowledge workers say their team is constantly pulled in too many directions.
🎯 70% wish they had fewer, more specific goals.

Sound familiar?

Strategic misalignment, sluggish planning, talent blind spots, and outdated roadmaps all slow teams down. The result? Your teams are doing lots of work — just not always the right work.

💡 So what exactly is the Strategy Collection?

It’s Atlassian’s new enterprise-grade offering that brings together:

• Focus – helping teams set clear goals and keep them in sight

• Talent – for strategic workforce planning and aligning people with priorities

• Jira Align – enterprise agile at scale, complete with Enterprise Insights for visibility

Think of it as a strategy control centre — pulling together your goals, teams, work, and investments in one place so you can lead with clarity and confidence.

🧭 Designed for the people guiding the ship

Whether you're navigating M&A integration, pivoting plans due to market changes, or just trying to keep teams aligned across departments and time zones, Strategy Collection is built to help you:

• Visualise progress against goals
• Adjust priorities in real time
• Make faster, smarter decisions
• Plan work and workforce together
• Connect people to purpose

In short, it's the missing link between your big-picture strategy and your on-the-ground execution.

🔄 Strategy isn’t “set it and forget it”

Too often, strategy becomes a glossy deck lost in someone’s inbox. But in today’s environment, goals need to flex as fast as your teams do.

With Strategy Collection, your roadmap becomes a living, breathing thing — updated as the business shifts, new data lands, or teams uncover what’s actually working.

👥 Plus, it plays nicely with the Teamwork Collection

Also launched at Team ’25, the Teamwork Collection focuses on the team layer — helping day-to-day collaboration thrive using Jira, Confluence, Loom and more.

Together, the Strategy and Teamwork Collections give you the full picture:

🔹 Strategy Collection = visibility and alignment for leaders
🔹 Teamwork Collection = agility and execution for teams

It’s the full top-down, bottom-up system of work — and it’s designed to work hand-in-hand.

🌍 Real-world impact: from chaos to cohesion

Take mergers and acquisitions, for example. We’ve all seen how clunky that process can be — conflicting priorities, talent friction, unclear direction. But with the Strategy Collection, leaders can align around shared goals, define clear workforce strategies, and communicate progress with transparency.

The result? Less “Wait, who’s doing what again?”
And more “We’ve got this. Here’s how.”

TL;DR? Strategy Collection helps leaders:

• Align work with evolving business goals
• Make data-driven people decisions
• Adapt strategy in real-time
• Connect dots across teams, workstreams, and outcomes

It’s built for today’s pace of business — and designed to unleash your organisation’s full potential.
