My Starting Lineup of Atlassian Tools is a visual representation of the essential tools that contribute to the success of our teams. This series of volleyball images showcases how each tool plays a vital role in our workflow, promoting collaboration and efficiency.

1. Two players sitting down and talking, with a ball at their side, represent Confluence and Jira Product Discovery. These tools communicate with each other to facilitate documentation, feature backlog management, and prioritization. The ball symbolizes the Project Kick-off, emphasizing the importance of starting projects on the right foot.

2. The next image features a player setting the ball, with the player's face covered by the Prioritization play. This player represents the crucial process of setting priorities, while the ball represents Jira, our tool for managing priorities and tasks effectively.

3. The following image shows a player spiking the ball, with the player representing Bitbucket. Bitbucket is responsible for deploying our features, ensuring smooth integration and execution. The ball symbolizes Jira once again, as Jira is where tasks are managed and features are completed.

4. The next player is depicted digging for the ball, symbolizing the retrospective play. This player represents our regular retrospectives, where we discuss and analyze our progress. The ball, in this case, represents the burndown chart, a key component of our retrospective discussions.

5. The last image portrays players in a huddle, symbolizing alignment and coordination. These players represent Slack, our integration tool, which allows us to communicate and stay aligned during our standup meetings. Slack plays a crucial role in keeping the team connected and fostering effective collaboration.

Overall, this starting lineup of Atlassian tools showcases the seamless integration and communication between Confluence, Jira Product Discovery, Bitbucket, Jira, and Slack. By leveraging these tools, our teams can effectively document, prioritize, deploy, manage tasks, conduct retrospectives, and align themselves for success.

Jira & Confluence

[Manfred Höffken]

My thought in setting it up is that you need a solid base of knowledge in an organization that should be documented and held. The bundled knowledge keeps your box clean.

In front of that, you have the flat back three of Jira Software, Jira Service Management, and Jira Work Management, for managing the tasks across different teams. On the one hand, they provide the necessary security, on the other hand, they organize the game structure.

The 6-man in the defensive midfield may not be the most conspicuous player, but he is of central importance for security. Atlassian Access.

(From here on my analogy starts to fray :-) )

On the offensive side, Jira Align, Jira Product Discovery and Atlas are players that focus on the big picture (no pun intended): teams and applications, ideas and the larger strategy of the organization.

💨 blown away by the creativity and presentation skills on display here. Wow! Cheering y'all on from the side of the pitch for now! 

Love the combination of practices and tools, @Amanda Barber!  

[Aaron Geister]

I had to include the full team roster for a soccer team. I image this being stacked like our defense and offense and those in between. I started with Access since that how we allow our orgs to get access to the products. Then I started with our defensive players working our way up to offense. I think of Confluence like our star shoot because Confluence hardens all products with its information passing and great at assisting all team members to make goals. I also feel like JWM and Trello are both in the same middle ground and interchangeable. I hope this gives a good picture.

Here's my Atlassian Starting Lineup! All these tools and skills are needed to have an efficient playbook! I think the image speaks for itself!

All pics provide good product information.   A picture is worth a thousand words.  Thanks for the visuals and the badge(s)!

[Mayur Jadhav]

All the visuals are great 💯

[Hana Kučerová]

All these are really great! I wish I was so creative as you are.

[Tomislav Tobijas]

I think I played a bit too much with drawing tools 😅

Guess all of these are self-explanatory, but the best thing when it comes to Atlassian is that you can use these tools together 🤝

P.S. - the last one should represent a 'team coach' lol

Nice (:

GK:
Atlas 

The keeper has the best visibility of the whole pitch and what the teams movements are so screams out status updates to the players.

Defence:

CBx3: OpsGenie, Beacon, BitBucket
Solid back three focused on stability and informing the midfield of what dangers are around them

Midfield:
Central/Defensive Midlfied
Confluence plays a fluid role swapping between central mid and defensive midfield, their role is to link the play together from GK-DF to the rest of the field by reading the game and advising everyone what's up
Attacking midfield:

Trello and JWM are fast to set up so their pace is put to work on the wings, while the real workhorses of Jira Software and Jira Service Management take charge in the center of midfield - their solid scheme configurations help them tackle any misconfiguration and their setup allows for creative playmaking to feed the strikers

Forwards:
2 strikers up top:
Atlassian Partner (or Atlassian Community if the partner is injured or suspended) and the Customer/User

These two make a fearsome pair leading the line, and with support directing the team towards the goal.
