Samie Delebo - Your Gal at Gliffy Atlassian Partner

Hi Atlassian Community! The Gliffy team is hard at work to wrap up this year with some awesome new features, but we're also starting to eye our roadmap and research what's next for our app. Gliffy's Sr Product Manager, @Charlie Ealy, and I would love to get some specific input on data and integrations that would support…

One of Atlassian's awesome Community Managers, @Bridget, challenged the Authors page with sharing our favorite Confluence shortcuts, and one immediately popped into my head. But first, the Wikipedia Game. It's related, I promise! Image you're in sixth grade and you're so bored in class. You've got a laptop, but your school…

The Gliffy team has great news for small teams: the cloud versions of Gliffy Diagrams for Confluence and Gliffy Diagrams for Jira are now free for teams of up to 10! We’re joining other popular cloud apps from awesome vendors like Adaptavist and Decadis AG to offer the original Atlassian diagramming solution for free at…

The Lesson: With remote and hybrid work, we're all using different tools in different ways. Even if you've been working a certain way since the initial shift-to-remote in 2020, it's okay to raise your hand and say "hey, wait, can we do this differently?" An Anecdotal Case for Resetting Since shifting to remote work, my…

Hi ACE enthusiasts! Happy Apptoberfest! Have any qs about how to use diagramming to make your next project run a little smoothly? Are you a Gliffy user (or lover!) who wants to get to know our team? Curious about what's next for one of the most popular apps in the Atlassian Ecosystem? Want a reason to drink a beer on…

Hi Community! I’m jumping in with an update on the latest Gliffy releases for all our Confluence and Jira apps. You may have seen or already upgraded to the latest and greatest as we’ve rolled them out over the past two weeks, so here’s what’s new and improved. New Feature: Pie Charts! While the Confluence charts macro…

Last week, Atlassian announced the new Cloud Fortified Apps program and the initial program participants — the Gliffy team is stoked to be included. I’m a rule follower, so here’s an extra crystal-clear disclaimer: I work for Gliffy. If you’re not familiar with the program requirements quite yet, here’s the Marketplace…

Hi Community! I’ve been working on a webinar with Gliffy’s Director of Engineering, Mike Sample, and wanted to share a sneak peek and some tips here. Our webinar, How to Diagram Your Way to Better Work: the Gliffy Guide, is not your standard product demo or thought leadership piece. It’s got three actionable, easy-to-do…

Spoiler alert: not much! Through the lens of a user, Gliffy is just Gliffy wherever you use it. The editor and all its drag-and-drop drawing functionality won’t take any re-learning at all if your organization changes its deployment. But, we know that Atlassian’s announcement to sunset its server offerings over the next…

Hi Community Members! It's (finally) my turn to host some Friday fun! I'm always thinking about creativity and sharing ideas, so I wanted to ask.. what's the last thing you drew? Doodles, whiteboard sketches, diagrams, graphs, sticky notes, anything! All are eligible. Extra credit if you share a pic. :) Over lunch this…

I like working on Gliffy because I believe visuals are a super powerful way to communicate. With all the conversation about Knowledge Management in Confluence taking place in the community, I wanted to share a few ideas and encourage you to make flowcharts, diagrams, and other visuals your secret weapon. Sparknotes: Add…

AWS Shapes in Gliffy As of April 2020, Gliffy has updated AWS shapes so that you can use the newest designs from Amazon. To make sure you have the most recent AWS Simple Icons, open the Gliffy editor, click “More Shapes” in the lower left, then toggle the “AWS Simple Icons” button to add all these shape groups to your side…

Several months ago, Lucidchart announced that they would sunset their OnPrem for Confluence app with support ending January 6, 2021. This gives current users two options: find new diagramming tool or use a patchwork solution. The Quick Fix Getting your team into new tools can be hard, but you get the most out of your…

This is a sneak peek of topics covered in Gliffy’s next webinar, Dynamic Diagramming: How to Take Your Confluence Pages to the Next Level. Join us on April 16th! You can sign up here. You don’t have to be a Gliffy user to find these tips helpful! Our Director of Engineering, Mike Sample, was walking me through his webinar…

Here’s the deal: the team over here at Gliffy loves going to Atlassian events. It’s our chance to hear what you’re making, learn how we can continue helping your team, and get inspired for new features and updates. Things are a little different this year, but we sat down and brainstormed to try to figure out how we could…

Hey community members! @Bridget gave us a little bit of a teaser, but I’m curious, what do you hope to get out of Remote Summit this year? Do you want the event to leave you feeling inspired? Maybe empowered? Do you have specific questions that could help your team? Are you trying to solve a problem for your organization?…

Gliffy has been part of the Marketplace for well over a decade. During that time, we’ve added features and functionality as we learn from the folks that matter most—our customers. Those insights come from a few places: from meeting users at conferences like the Atlassian Summit, one-on-one conversations with customer…

Here’s a theory: there are 3 types of people. There are the people that hate New Year’s Resolutions and the people that love them. And then, there are at least a handful of people that see the word “resolutions” and feel a little lost — or they’re just trying to get through December before setting their sights on next…

Well guys, it's a new year and (for me, at least) a new semester! As part of my MBA program, I'm taking a course on international business practices. It's so fascinating to me how cultural differences play out during our work. So, I'm curious: what advice do you have for building relationships within a global team? In my…

As I wrap up an MBA course on working across cultures, there's one idea that I know I'll hold onto particularly tightly as I continue through my career. We probably all know how to say I'm sorry in multiple ways. I know how to say it in English (my language) and French (je suis désolée) and Luxembourgish (but please don't…

This week, Lucidchart pulled their OnPrem for Confluence App from the Atlassian Marketplace—but will continue to support it through Jan 6, 2021. If you’re a Lucidchart server user, that’s a pretty big deal. Your on-prem options in the Atlassian Marketplace are awesome because they put security first. Being able to draw a…

4 Basic Flowchart Symbols Say you stumbled upon an extraordinary flowchart on one of your organization’s Confluence pages with a few symbols you’ve never used before. Or maybe you’re new to the whole flowcharting game and want to make sure you’ve got all the building blocks to get started. Add these to your metaphorical…
