Resources from Team 24 CLC - The Power of Alignment: A Journey with Jira and Confluence

[#1]

During the Tallinn and Boise Team 24 Community-led Conferences, I spoke about how my team came together to improve how we build software. This team effort started with identifying the required people, skills, and gaps. Next, we aligned processes across our product triad (product, design, and engineering); last, we configured our tools to meet our needs. The resources listed below align with the talk and reference Community posts, Team Playbook Plays, and Atlassian University’s free training resources.
