Philip Braddock Atlassian Team

Thank YOU, @Aaqib Usmani , for allowing us to learn about Tasteport!!!

Thanks SO MUCH (and as always!) for stopping by, @Andy Gladstone ! It was great to see you!

Thanks for taking the time to share all this great information, @Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_ !!!

GO @Peggy Graham & @Julie Pinto !!!!

Thank YOU, @Gordon Wintrob !!! 🤩

@Annie Lu , thank you SO MUCH for helping bring this to life! You are an AMAZING TEAMmate!

THIS IS GOING TO BE EPICCCCCC!!!! 🚀

Hi @Robert Laidlaw , thanks for the question. At this time, we do not have pre-selected / preferred partners for Atlassian for Startups. Instead, in the application, we are asking startups to indicate their own relationship(s) with venture capital investors or accelerators / incubators.

Super cool! Thanks for sharing, @Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM ! 🚗 How many times have you gone for ice cream? 🍦😃

@Annie Lu , you rock!!! 🤩

Hey @Ralph Hofacker , thanks for the post. I'm Philip, Head of Atlassian for Startups. I see that you joined the waitlist -- thank you! Please also feel free to reach out to me via startups@atlassian.com. The program has not yet been formally launched but I'm happy to chat to see if we can figure something out once it goes…

Maybe this won't count for a badge because I'm an Atlassian -- I defer to my world-class TEAMmate, @Kristen Roth to make that decision 🤩 -- but I'm happy to kick off the convo! My favorite thing about working in the startup space is the constant energy and creative. It takes A LOT of energy to build something and it takes…

👋 Hey @Dylan Assi, this is SUCH an encouraging sentiment! Would you be open to chatting live? I'd love to learn more about any specific recommendations you might for how a startup could indeed leverage Atlassian as the "backbone of building". If so, what's a good email for you so we can find time? If not, no worries... all…

Thanks for sharing, @Jens Schumacher - Released_so ! This is awesome!

SO EXCITED for what we'll all accomplish together and learn from each other! 🚀 🙌 🥳

AWESOME info and SO HELPFUL, @Julie Pinto !!!

LOVE to see this type of 1+1=3-style collaboration!!!

Hi @G subramanyam , thanks for taking the time to post the question. As I mentioned in my reply to @Jenny Kim , at Atlassian, ShipIt is for all Atlassians, meaning technical and non-technical alike. In fact, to encourage non-technical participation, we always award the Unplugged Prize, which is explicitly for projects that…

Hi @Tinker Fadoua , thank you for asking. When COVID forced our global TEAM to shift to WFH in mid-March 2020, we had to pivot quickly because we had a pre-planned ShipIt coming up in mid-April. At first, we had to make a fundamental “root” decision: to proceed or cancel. We debated both sides and outlined as many…

Hey @Brittany Joiner , yes, absolutely! At Atlassian, ShipIt is for all Atlassians, meaning technical and non-technical alike. In fact, to encourage non-technical participation, we always award the Unplugged Prize, which is explicitly for projects that have no coding whatsoever (not even low- or pseudo-code).

Hi @Ajay _view26_ , this is a really good question, mate! At Atlassian, we are completely non-prescriptive about team formation during ShipIt. In other words, Atlassians can choose to work with anyone, from any team, anywhere in the world. But given our normal practice of working in triads – Product, Design, Engineering –…

Hey @Jenny Kim , thanks for reaching out. At Atlassian, ShipIt is for all Atlassians, meaning technical and non-technical alike. In fact, to encourage non-technical participation, we always award the Unplugged Prize, which is explicitly for projects that have no coding whatsoever (not even low- or pseudo-code).

Hey @Christine P. Dela Rosa , great question! Like with any (semi-)mature event, there are lots of “invisible” details that go into planning ShipIt. As a global company, one of the challenges we face at Atlassian is ensuring that there is a local sponsor / champion in each of our geos / time zones. And since that is a…

Hi @John Funk , thanks for the question. For the longest time, we looked at participation as the default measure to gauge whether a given instance of ShipIt was successful (or not). Then, around 2.5 years ago when our TEAM crossed 3,000 Atlassians or so, we realized that we were over-emphasizing participation stats…
