G’Day and welcome!
We’re excited to have you join our new community group. This group is a place where we hope you can engage, learn and share your perspective on how you use different Atlassian products together. Atlassian products are great individually, but they are even better when used together. This group welcomes your questions and first-hand experience with different ways of working together.
What is work management?
You may already be familiar with the terms Agile, or DevOps, but what about Work Management? What is it and why is it important? Agile was a new methodology that aimed to help software teams react and adapt quickly to changes. DevOps was another methodology that aimed to address the issues between development teams and operations teams. These two methodologies target the ways of working between developer and IT teams, but what about their business counterparts? Work Management is a similar methodology but aimed at addressing the way we work with our business teams.
According to Gartner, work management can be defined as:
“a set of software products and services that apply workflow structure to the movement of information as well as to the interaction of business processes and human worker processes that generate the information. Work management streamlines and transforms crucial business processes and thus can improve results and performance.”
Ultimately, Work Management is a new way of working that looks to improve productivity in business processes and projects.
Mission
The Work Management community group is focused on encouraging users to show how they integrate Atlassian products and the best practices they have for working across teams. This group will be mostly focused on our work management products (Confluence, Atlas, Trello, JWM) but we welcome examples of pulling in other tools that you use outside of Atlassian in your workflows. We hope this will be a place where customers and Atlassians can come together to create feedback loops and open, honest discussions about Atlassian product plans, ideas, wins, problems, and desired future features.
People
Your community leaders will be @Emilee , @Heather Krebsbach , @Traci Wilbanks , @Cody Alder , from the Atlassian team working on bringing you more integration features between Atlassian Products. We are here to help you out, ask and answer questions, and make sure we all get something valuable out of being here!

Our objectives are to provide a great place to:
Find new ways to use Atlassian products together
Discuss different workflows and ways of working between teams
Share use cases and real-life examples of success
