Sneak peek: New prototype for managing Jira projects
One of Jira’s biggest strengths has been its flexibility when it comes to setting up a project that maps to your processes. From issue types to permissions, fields to workflows, Jira affords a huge amount of customisability to let you tweak how issues behave. However, with all this power and flexibility, the project administration interface […]
Improving Jira User Experience – Delivering with agility – Part II
For the last couple of months, the Jira team has been hard at work on our 4.2 release. A large part of Jira 4.2 is building on the user experience journey that we began in Jira 4.0 last year. True to our agile approach to incrementally enhance the Jira user experience, we have approached Jira […]

End of support for platforms connecting to the Atlassian Connectors for IntelliJ IDEA and Visual Studio
We will be ending support for a number of platforms for the Atlassian Connector for IntelliJ IDEA and the Atlassian Connector for Visual Studio.

Improving Jira User Experience – Delivering with agility – Part I
We’re big proponents of an agile approach to software development at Atlassian. Internally, our development teams follow an agile approach. What we realized, however, was that we were not so great at getting our features out quickly. With Jira 3.13, and Jira 4.0, we found that our development cycles were too long. Our customers deserve […]
End of support for platforms connecting to the Atlassian Connector for Eclipse
We will be ending support for a number of platforms for the Atlassian Connector for Eclipse when version 2.2 of the connector is released. From Atlassian Connector for Eclipse 2.2 (scheduled for mid June 2010), the connector will no longer support: Jira 3.12.5 and earlier (including point releases) Bamboo 2.2.3 and earlier (including point releases) […]
Working with issues in context
Most software implementation happens in an IDE, and for most developers, the IDE is their “home”, where they get their “real” work done. The tasks they work on though, are tracked with Jira issues. With the Atlassian Connectors for IDEs, we’ve brought your Jira issues front and center to Eclipse, and IntelliJ IDEA, allowing you […]
Announcing the Bamboo 2.3 Early Access Program for PHP developers

Bamboo 2.3 introduces built-in support for running PHPUnit as a builder, which will make it easy for PHP projects to quickly set up a CI […]
How can we make you (even more) productive in Eclipse?
At the end of the day, all of us developers know that real work happens in the code. And IDEs like Eclipse have come a long way to help us with that: rich editing, code hyper-linking, on the fly compilation, etc. But invariably, our daily lives gets entangled in all sorts of other stuff around […]
Customizing your cloud
In Bamboo 2.2, we’ve released support for running builds in the cloud with the Elastic Bamboo feature. Of course, like so many other features with Atlassian products, we wanted to make the feature useful for ourselves right from the start. However, whilst the basic premise of being able to unlock elastically compute resources for our […]
Bamboo + Jira, when builds meet issues.
If you are anything like us with your development processes, then you would probably track all your development work – be they bugs, improvements, or features – in an issue tracker like Jira. You would also use a CI tool too, like Bamboo, to run builds constantly to make sure that your code base remains […]
Bamboo 1.2 and Acegi Security
In Bamboo 1.2, we introduced plan level permissions as a major feature. Already with an Acegi Security framework in place, we figured it was a natural extension to build our permissions framework on top of Acegi. Bamboo Security Architecture There are really two sides to security in Bamboo (or any other application for that matter): […]
