@Mark higgins 

Can't wait to hear how you get on!

And they have SOLD!

Thanks Curt. I really enjoyed the conversation with Dan too, and learnt a lot. I was also pleased with how pragmatic his suggestions were.

Thanks for the shout out Mark Higgins. I’m with @Matt Doar that curry looks amazing! happy festive season everyone and keep well 

Folks, we're forever indebted to all of you in the community for the amazing work you do connecting people. Your passion and care, are on display on a regular basis, and so THANK YOU from me personally, and from Atlassian.

If I had to choose one, I'd say the simplest way to evaluate an agile team is their process efficiency. This is the number of valuable work items(one user story or ticket) divided by the number of calendar days it takes ship. So 1 user story per day is 100% efficiency, 1 user story every four days is 25% efficiency. You…

Do It! Do It! Do It!

Hey Santhosh. I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for. Is it this: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/velocity-chart-777002731.html Let me know and maybe we can re-ask the question in the Jira section of the community?

Hi Gonchik, There's really no "done" in implementing agile processes as you should be continuously improving. Two things we are thinking about beyond agile for teams is agile for non-tech teams and agile at scale (across larger and increasingly complex organizations). Watch this space for more of our thoughts on what's…

I think if you google most popular methodologies, you get that. In truth, I think it's time for us to reframe Agile, and the variants of Agile, by going back and falling in LOVE with the problem we're solving. We also need to stop looking for other teams alleged "best practice" and plugging it into our organisations,…

https://www.atlassian.com/teamwork/artificial-intelligence There were a few striking findings from our research. 1: despite lots of writing about technology and impact of tech skills, the challenges of today revolve around human to human, and trust. 2: Whilst we're anticipating impact to jobs and changes to roles, we don't…

Hey Kimberly! I think this is going to be my favorite question to answer As far as team celebrations go, I don't have a groundbreaking answer for you. My teams tend to want some free food and drink and a bit of time during work hours to consume it together to celebrate success. Sounds pretty basic, but that's what we all…

Greetings from San Diego! Lack of trust and transparency are all too common, in my experience. It's great to hear your teams are gaining momentum in adopting agile, though! If I were in your shoes, I'd try to figure out the root case of the lack of trust from upper management (the lack of trust is a driver of the…

If you're trying to suss out where agile will be welcomed vs. where in the org it'll be met with resistance, the Health Monitor comes in handy. If folks resist making changes based on what the Health Monitor reveals (or resist a self-reflective exercise like this in general!), agile is going to be a tough sell. It's not a…

This is certainly a hot topic on this AMA and at the Agile 2018 conference this week! Tooling: Portfolio has it's pros and cons, but we think it hits the nail on the head where it counts. It allows you to: * Build a roadmap that's connected to your work in Jira Software. * Get better visibility of work happening across…

This is a popular question! I'm going to quote the answer I gave in our top-voted question of the day. Let me know if I didn't quite cover what you are asking! "For Atlassian, we don't think of changing or deleting anything from the original manifesto, rather we are thinking about what principles we'd add as we apply agile…

Some questions you can ask yourself upfront: * Is the team is aligned on the goals of the project? * Do you have a balanced team to get the work done? * Has the project been effectively communicated/articulated to stakeholders? One way we've managed these risks upfront is through using our Health Monitor which checks key…

Hey Laura! What does an agile team mean to you and what is the problem you're trying to solve? To quote from a previous question: "Every organisation is different so there will be many ways for this to succeed. One way is to harness the energy and passion your people already have. Find those most passionate about being…

I believe that work will become more distributed, and there will be less of a focus on working hours/office, and more on energy, work anywhere, and contribution to outcomes. I think the rate of change of roles and jobs will increase, and we'll need to re-skill more. I believe we need to develop more discipline in being…

First, let's be crystal clear on one thing: the process is more important than the tool. Full stop. Now, are Atlassian opinionated about what good processes and good team practices look like? Hell yes. And do we bake those opinions into our tools? Absolutely. Jira is one of the most flexible, configurable tools on the…

According to a study of 10,000 teams performed by Larry Maccherone and his team at Rally, distributed teams are actually higher performing than co-located teams. Larry's study also shows that the benefit of being distributed is reversed when teammates are more than three timezones away....which is unnerving for me given my…

* What is the best way in your oppinion to handle different teams with different goals that are in one funtional group?* It's great to find something that can align the people in teams, maybe look at creating a common goal of sharing learning or a coaching program to cross-train people. * What if people have to contribute…

This is a popular question! I'll quote what I wrote to answer Danny's question above. Feel free to let me know if there's any aspects of your question I haven't yet covered! "Every organisation is different so there will be many ways for this to succeed. One way is to harness the energy and passion your people already…

I mean... when you're dealing in matters of life and death (building a space shuttle, developing new medicines, etc) shipping early then iterating doesn't really seem like the thing to do... 

Thank you taking part

Some of us have found these useful:- * The trend of how long it takes an idea to go live * The trend of escaped bugs * The trend of value delivered Use them together so that if teams focus too hard on one of them you'll see the impact on the others. There's some great content at Focused Objective on agile metrics. For a…

Hilarious and insightful! My values in life very closely align to the Atlassian values, which makes for an easy life. But when it comes to me outside of work, I'm a very different proposition...you know they say never buy a house off a builder...never go to a dinner party with a chef...don't buy a car off a…

We believe the four founding principles of the Agile Manifesto are still relevant. We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation…
