Doubling our impact with Atlassian Cloud

[Stephen Neil]

Hi everyone 

This is my first time posting here, so a quick hello — I’m Stephen and I lead on IT Infrastructure & Operations at Mary’s Meals International. We run a global school feeding programme, currently reaching over 2.6 million children across 16 countries every school day.

We recently shared a case study with the Atlassian Foundation on how we’ve built a global System of Work using Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Statuspage, helping 21 international teams collaborate on everything from IT support to marketing, HR, travel, and legal ops.

Since migrating to Atlassian Cloud last year, we’ve particularly appreciated:

• Reduced time and effort around upgrades and maintenance

• The improved performance and scalability available to us

• The value of Atlassian Intelligence for improving response times & multi-language comms, drafting epics/stories/sub-tasks and suggesting Knowledge Base content.

Happy to connect or answer questions about how we’ve approached Cloud migration, working with affiliates / federated orgs, or anything else that's helpful.

Here’s the case study

Thanks to the Atlassian Foundation for the support!

This is so cool @Stephen Neil !! 😎 👏 

That success over 22 yr of 300 meals to millions of mouths fed is a dream.

In have some cool questions for you:

1. How many months in total did it take to migrate from SC to Cloud!?
2. What was the number advantage for systems maintenance moving to cloud.
3. Any chance in the future that your team (or even the whole org!!) would reach 100% SLA Compliance, and do you think Rovo will be the key to unlocking that potential?
4. Have you looked into the Teamwork Collection with Atlassian, and if yes, What are your thoughts on that?
