Ashley Faus Atlassian Team

Well, I'm biased, but I think the session with Zeynep (https://www.inbound.com/speakers/zeynep-inanoglu-ozdemir) and Ashley (https://www.inbound.com/speakers/ashley-faus) are gonna be 🔥🔥 But seriously, INBOUND is always awesome, excited to see everyone!

So glad it's helpful! And YES, the complexity and communication gets tricky when you're working on a big launch 😅

I've been to INBOUND several times over the last few years as a speaker, and it's a great conference! Pros: - Sessions that cover just about every topic in marketing. You can learn about SEO, Community marketing, email, paid/ads/digital, social media, etc., as well as leadership and team-related topics. - Tons of…

Excited to join the line-up!

I think the key is making it work for all types of workers. If the company already has good practices for remote work, then people can be productive AND have good relationships in a 100% WFH set-up. I think the struggle for a lot of companies is that they tried to just make in-office behavior remote. It doesn't work that…

CONGRATS to all the winners, and huge thanks to everyone who participated! I LOVED seeing all the amazing submissions, it brightened my day when I saw each notification 😀

@Bridget Sauer your Sauer-dough loaf was equally beautiful, I think we need an in-person taste test of ALL the Atlassian goodies! We have so many talented people on the TEAM 💙

@Craig Castle-Mead surprisingly, these sprinkles are straight out of the bottle! I bought them at our local Safeway and they're the perfect match for Atlassian blue 😀

@John Funk I may or may not eat buttercream with a spoon... 😂 My pro tips for leftover buttercream include dipping pretzels and roasted pecans into the bowl!

@Jack Brickey I think you'll be great! I do have a delicious recipe for a Kentucky Derby pie that my mom makes for Thanksgiving/Christmas, and it definitely rivals the fancy cake 😀 So glad you enjoyed the stream, we had so much fun hosting it!

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- ICYMI... we live streamed a taste test (complete with scoring!) 😀 I felt my judge was tough but fair, ha! On-demand if you wanna see the judging: https://www.linkedin.com/video/live/urn:li:ugcPost:6872320317763784704/

@Andy Gladstone lol maybe we need a category for "Best Taste Tester" 😂 I feel like you would top the list!

Here. For. It.

Oh my goodness, thanks so much for the nomination! I'm so glad the article was helpful :) 

So glad it resonated with you, and love the Ed Sheeran tie-in 😀

Welcome! You're definitely covering a ton of things, but if it's helpful, you might enjoy this DevOps hub https://www.atlassian.com/devops and the automation template library https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library#/ 😀 Both sites contain a variety of product-agnostic practices and examples, and…

Huge kudos on this project, and thanks for sharing so many awesome details on how you analyzed, implemented, and improved your processes 🎉

Ha, we certainly don't come away bruised (I hope you heal quickly!) 😀 Great suggestions on timing and note-taking!

That's a great addition! One common misconception is that you're playing Devil's Advocate. I don't agree that this "best practice" is always best because you're not debating or arguing. The goal is not simply to take the other side so that someone will see your point. It can be helpful to consider alternate paths, but…

I agree that there's no one-size-fits-all, and I think many companies are starting to realize that the traditional ways of working/traditional "productivity" markers are no longer effective. We've been saying "outcomes > outputs" for years, and I think that as more companies adopt news ways of working, the impact will…

It's so interesting how our mindset shifts, isn't it? Humans are quite adaptable, so I'm sure you will continue to evolve how you think about the office as you settle into 100% virtual. I like the way we're trying to think about it, with synchronous communication being more about collaboration vs. async being the time to…

Awesome tips, thanks for the insights on how your team handles it :) 

We usually keep cameras on for meetings with <10 people, where we know everyone by name and work together weekly. I hear you on the global meetings or huge meetings, cameras feel a little weird (sitting here with my camera off during an all-hands, actually ). I think that our current thinking on using in-person times more…

Excited for this AMA! My question is how did you go about getting everyone on the same page with the terminology and project set-up? I feel like shared language is just as important as the product configuration.

Oh wow, you've only worked from home, how fascinating! Do you normally have your camera on when you have team meetings? The culture in the marketing org is to keep cameras on, which I think helps us maintain that connection even while we're remote. But it's definitely a different kind of relationship when you've NEVER met…

I know we're missing our meet-ups with Community Leaders as well, especially since the case counts and re-opening guidelines are quite disparate around the world. I hope things improve quickly so that we can all meet in person soon 🤞

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- We have a few Atlassians who talk about using Trello and Jira to run their households, so while we didn't officially make it, the Kidlassian game is strong! This is from 2017, so I think it counts as an additional throwback…

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- is it this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9shZslfbaS0

I cannot wait to see the throwback pictures people dig up! Show me allll the early Summit shots!

Loved this conversation! In particular: * "Velocity of value, not velocity of work" and how it doesn't matter if the goodness is delivered in a burst of focused energy or in spurts throughout the day, just deliver value to your customers * "Too many jobs to be done". YES, and this is not just the story points, we see this…
