Your Go-To Atlassian Marketplace Add-ons for Developers

[Tarun Nagar]

I’m starting this discussion to learn which Atlassian Marketplace add-ons developers rely on the most to improve productivity, collaboration, and workflow efficiency. With so many tools available for Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and other Atlassian products, it can be tough to know which ones truly make a difference in day-to-day development.

What I’m asking the audience:

• Which add-ons or integrations have become essential in your development process?
• Do you use any tools that help automate repetitive tasks, manage code reviews, or track releases?
• Any recommendations for add-ons that improve sprint planning, reporting, or DevOps workflows?
• Have you developed or customized your own add-ons for specific team needs?
• What’s your experience with performance, pricing, or support from your favorite Marketplace vendors?

Let’s share our go-to tools, hidden gems, and real-world experiences to help developers discover powerful Atlassian Marketplace solutions that actually enhance productivity and teamwork.

Hi @Tarun Nagar welcome to the Atlassian community.

This is a welcoming discussion. The right add-ons can turn Jira and Confluence from simple tracking tools into a unified DevOps command center. Based on my experience, the core focus should be on automation, visualization, and cross-tool integration.

These tools are not just nice-to-haves; they become the glue for the entire development lifecycle:

1. Essential Add-ons & Integrations for Development Workflow

ScriptRunner for Jira

Git Integration for Jira

Draw.io Diagrams for Confluence

Power-Scripts for Jira

2. Automation, Code Review, and Release Tracking:

• Jira Automation.
• Bitbucket Pipelines.

3. Sprint Planning, Reporting, and DevOps Workflows

• Capacity Planner.
• Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards
• Xray/Zephyr (for Test Management)

For development teams working in the Atlassian ecosystem, a few Marketplace add-ons really stand out in terms of productivity, automation, and code-to-deployment visibility. Tools like ScriptRunner and Automation for Jira are essential for eliminating repetitive admin tasks — from bulk issue actions to complex workflow rules. For DevOps and release coordination, Jira Software + Bitbucket integrations combined with Release Management apps like Advanced Roadmaps or Octopus Deploy provide excellent traceability from user story to deployment.

For code collaboration, Pull Request Templates for Bitbucket and SonarQube connectors help ensure cleaner code and more structured reviews. When it comes to planning and delivery, BigPicture or Structure enables multi-team alignment on sprints, dependencies, and portfolio-level progress — especially useful in scaled agile environments.

A few underrated gems that boost everyday efficiency are Refined Toolkit, which improves UI clarity in Jira, and Power BI Connector for Jira for advanced reporting. Overall, the best add-ons are the ones that close gaps between dev, QA, ops, and product teams — and these tools consistently make workflows smoother while keeping everyone focused on building and shipping quality software.
