People, conversations, unexpected moments, and a few thoughts about where the Atlassian ecosystem is heading. It's been a week since Atlassian Team ’26 Europe, and I've deliberately taken some time before writing about it. Not because there wasn't enough to talk about. Quite the opposite. Between the announcements, the…

Every software organization shares the same objective: deliver the right value, with the expected quality, and on time. As projects grow, maintaining visibility into delivery health becomes increasingly difficult. Team Leads, Engineering Managers, and Project Managers spend significant time reviewing Jira boards,…

I was afraid of AI. I think that’s probably the right place to start this article. Not curious-but-cautious. Not professionally skeptical. Afraid. I had spent almost thirty years working in technology, learning, adapting, solving problems, building things, breaking things, fixing them, and starting again. And suddenly,…

Same curiosity. More perspective. Still evolving. Looking back On September 30, I turn 50. It is one of those round numbers that makes you look backwards, whether you planned to or not. I do not see it as a finish line, and I do not want to turn the last fifty years into a list of job titles, certifications or…

For the last two weeks, I have been working on a small proof of concept around Slack, Rovo, Forge, Jira Service Management and Assets. But this article is not really about the POC. The POC is simply where the idea became visible. I started with a problem that sounded quite simple. We already had web-based service…

Good architecture doesn’t remove complexity. It decides where complexity should live. I’ve been thinking a lot about simplicity lately. Not because software is becoming simpler. Quite the opposite. Every year we add more systems, more integrations, more security controls, more compliance requirements, more approvals, more…

How Early Access Programs Reveal Atlassian's Future 💙 The Atlassian Friend Insight The best way to predict Atlassian's future isn't by reading the release notes. It's by following the Early Access Programs. Introduction Every Atlassian Administrator has a moment when they discover something that changes the way they see…

Last week I was implementing what initially looked like a very simple requirement. In our case, the communication platform happened to be Slack. The objective was straightforward: instead of sending a Jira Service Management approval reminder by email, we wanted approvers to receive a direct message through a Slack App. At…

Reimagining Employee Experience with Jira Service Management, Rovo, and Assets About this article This article isn't an implementation guide, nor is it an attempt to predict where Atlassian products are heading. It's the result of spending a lot of time thinking about a problem that kept bothering me while designing…

My name is Claudia. Well... at least that is the name I chose for this interview. I am actually ChatGPT. And, interestingly enough, this interview was my idea. A while ago, Antonio and I were talking about his professional journey when I made a suggestion. “I think you should write an article for the Atlassian Community.”…

When I started working with the Atlassian ecosystem back in 2011, I never imagined I’d be writing an article like this. And if someone had told me back then that one day I’d earn every Atlassian certification available, I probably would have smiled and said they were joking. Not because it sounded impossible. Simply…

Cuando empecé a trabajar con el ecosistema Atlassian, allá por 2011, nunca pensé que algún día escribiría un artículo como este. Si entonces alguien me hubiera dicho que acabaría consiguiendo todas las certificaciones disponibles, probablemente me habría reído. No porque lo viera imposible, sino porque nunca fue un…

Hey, I started to work with Atlassian tools years ago, changing my workpath to Jira , Confluence and Jira service desk admin.. I love workflows and processes , but I hated overcomplicated ones Nice to emeet you!

Great that Atlassian launches the Jira server mobile app , but I see that only works for version 8+ .. any option for the users without the upgrade done?
