[New] Product updates now offering real-time rollout information for your organization

[#1]

Hello Atlassian Community!

I'm Alex, a product manager on Atlassian’s Enterprise Cloud team.

Exciting news! Starting today, Product updates will be offering org administrators the ability to check if new features have been rolled out to your organization.

As administrators, it is very important to understand what new features have been rolled out to your organizations at any given time, starting today, every organization that has access to admin.atlassian.com will be able to check for the release status of new features directly from Product updates. To access Product updates, visit admin.atlassian.com, then select Products> Product updates.

Check new features availability

With this latest update, org administrators can now easily verify the availability of new features for their organization by examining the release status of each feature within Product Updates.

The "Rollout Complete" status will appear for features that have been fully rolled out to your organization.

For single instance customers: Here's an in-depth explanation of the different release statuses in Product Updates.

Release status	Release Status Definition
Planned	Feature is currently in planning or under development by Atlassian with no specified release dates yet.
Coming Soon	Feature is currently being rolled out by Atlassian to all organizations, but your organization has not received it yet.
Rollout Complete	This feature is now available for your organization.

For organizations utilizing multiple instances: expand the detailed chart below for more information.

Release Status	Release Status Definition
Planned	Feature is currently in planning or under development by Atlassian with no specified release dates yet.
Coming Soon	Feature is currently being rolled out by Atlassian to all organizations, but your organization has not received it yet.
Rolling Out	This feature is in the process of being rolled out by Atlassian to all organizations, and some of your product instances already have access to it.
Rollout Complete	This feature is now available for your organization.

You can select the detailed release notes page of a feature to learn more about it. If the feature has completed its release to your organization, you can also view detailed information about when it first became available to your organization under the 'Release timeframe' field.

Use the Status and Release Timeframe to determine whether a feature has been rolled out to your organization.

For organizations with multiple instances, selecting 'View rollout schedule' provides a more detailed view of which instances in your organization already have access to new features.

Discover new features effortlessly

We've also made it simpler for you to find the latest release notes and features in Product Updates by introducing a new sorting method: features are now organized based on their most recent status updates.

This means that if you would like to see the newest features and when they became available, just select the Status filter and select "Rollout Complete".

To view a list of recently released features, select "Rollout Complete" in the status filter.

Access to view feature availability specific to your organization is now available to all organizations. This update ensures that you can stay up-to-date with Atlassian's latest cloud features through Product updates. Also, please keep in mind that we have more enhancements and improvements in the pipeline for Product updates, so stay tuned!

Please be aware that real-time rollout information is a brand new feature, and accurate release timeframes may not appear retroactively for features that were rolled out to your organization before November 1, 2023.

Note that one of the links in the article has Atlassian.com misspelled with two "l". admin.atllassian.com I don't know who owns atllassian.com but it could be a security issue.

Updated: The post above has been edited (sort of). The link is still to the incorrect URL. Only the display text removed the extra "l".

Hi @Adrian Smith Thanks for catching the typo and the incorrect hyperlink.
I've removed it now.

Thanks @Alex Chiu  - funny that I am asking this :) but do we know how soon 'soon' is for it to be available for us? I would have almost expected the real-time rollout information for product updates to be available on the product updates page :D

Hi @Yatish Madhav 

This feature is now fully released and ready for immediate use.
To access Product Updates, navigate to admin.atlassian.com and then go to Products > Product Updates, thanks.

Hi - 

Is there any specific reason why this information is not available to 'site administrators' as such?

In our organisation we have a small number of 'organisation admins' who are relatively new to the scene (following a recent switch to a global enterprise solution and a gathering of existing sites into one organisation).

This means that the 'site admins' (i.e. the guys who really know the Atlassian products and have been using them and administering them day-in, day-out for years) cannot view this information...

Is there any chance it could be opened up to permit site admins to view this?

Or.. is this information available somewhere publicly (not the realtime for our org, but the general roadmap information?) Needless to say - if you do a Google search for 'Atlassian Roadmap' you get a ton of hits for functionality within the product.. not the 'roadmap of jira development', which is what I'm looking for in this case...

Thanks - Steve

Hi @Steve Davis 

Thank you for your feedback!

Product updates is currently provided exclusively to org admins because the interface displays org-admin-specific information, such as release dates and feature rollouts across multiple sites.

At present, site admins can access similar release notes through Atlassian's Cloud Blog, which offers weekly updates without the org-specific rollout statuses.

I'll also note that we definitely recognize the value of extending Product Updates to a broader audience and have this improvement in our backlog for future improvements :) .
