Welcome Wednesday: Have you started navigating with Compass?

[#1]

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

About two weeks ago, Atlassian announced the GA launch of Compass! Have you started using it yet?

This week, I’d love to know what feature(s) you love the most, and if you haven’t started using it yet, I’d love to know what your hesitation is?

For me, we have not “officially“ started using Compass. Moving out of beta to GA was one of the biggest bottlenecks for our security team. However, we have been experimenting with it in a POC environment for some time.

I think one of the things that we are going to benefit from the most is the up & downstream dependency mapping and using that for announcements. That will help ensure that conversations are happening between teams when dependent items are going to be affected.

I’m love to hear from all of you in the comments below.

Have a great rest of the week!

@Jimmy Seddon Nice post! And good to hear that Compass is already generally available.

But I am not much familiar with this product and its capabilities yet, maybe because the companies or clients I have worked for so far were not using it already.

I also did not find time to explore more about it yet.

Is there any starting point or documentation that you suggest where I can find more detailed information about this product and its features in an easily understandable manner?

Have a great Wednesday and rest of the week everyone!

Thanks @Taranjeet Singh!  Great question, I'd start in the Compass collection of the community ;)

Specially the post that @Wayne Dailey made today: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Compass-articles/DevEx-Roundup-Compass-is-in-General-Availability-GA/ba-p/2509507

Thanks for kicking off this conversation @Jimmy Seddon! @Taranjeet Singh I'd also suggest checking out this Compass GA announcement post for an intro. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions and have a great week!

Just introduced Compass to one dev team and awaiting feedback now.

Looks great! Is there any complete demo video for this where we may understand the product as a whole? That will be super useful!

@Mohamed Riza _ServiceRocket_ here's a quick intro video that walks through a complete Compass demo instance. I highly recommend it for getting started!
