Bamboo 5 Bridges the Dev-Ops Divide!
The arm-chair historian in me loves digging into the great rivalries the world has known over the years. Hatfields vs. McCoys. Elizabeth I vs. Mary Queen of Scots. Coke vs. Pepsi. Maybe what makes these epic struggles so fascinating is the fact that we software makers live in a world of (admittedly more banal) tug-of-wars […]
Coming July 18th! Open Dojo #2 – DevOps & Automated Deploys
The DevOps Dojo is BACK! We had such a blast at our first Open Dojo that we had to do it again. Join us on Thursday July 18th at 2pm Pacific as we jam on the subject of automated deployments: why teams do them, what it all looks like under the hood, and how they fit into […]
Bamboo 5 is Almost Here
We’ve been talking a lot in the past 6 weeks about how excellent tooling can compliment excellent on-the-ground processes, with a special eye toward the approach known as DevOps. For those just tuning in, DevOps is a shorthand way of saying “Hey, y’know how Agile brings product management, dev & QA together, and emphasizes automation? […]
Releasing the DevOps Way pt. 2: Deployment Bottlenecks
Welcome back to our mini-series on managing releases “the DevOps way”. Before we dive into the meat of today’s topic, allow me to explain why I’m ascribing the DevOps moniker to these ideas. DevOps is an approach to building high-quality, rapidly-delivered software in a way that isn’t painful. DevOps is not a tool. DevOps is […]
Releasing the DevOps Way pt. 1: Team Communication
Humans have been making software for a surprisingly long time: from the proto-software devised to decrypt Enigma-encoded transmissions in the 1940s, to the read-only program controlling the decent of Apollo lunar modules, to the dizzying array of apps we carry in our pockets and purses today. But throughout the computer-age revolution, one thing that hasn’t changed […]
DevOps & Distributed Teams
Soon after joining Atlassian about 18 months ago, it was clear that this is a DevOps-minded crew. Not that there’s any coordinated effort around this. It’s simply a group of people dedicated to continuously improving the ways we work in our respective expertise, and the ways we work together across teams. Last month, we launched […]
Technical Marketing is More Awesome Than You Think
“I was so excited, I nearly pee’d on the rug.” That line always gets a laugh when people ask me how I came to work at Atlassian. (Yes, that’s at–not for. You’ll see what I mean.) The path that led me here has a few bends and a couple bonafide non-sequiturs: degrees in Global Political Economy and Political […]

Coming soon: Bamboo 5 Early Access Program!
We grown-ups don’t anticipate Christmas morning like we used to. (Or do we…?) But that doesn’t mean we don’t get excited about new toys! You may have heard about the deployment awesomeness we’re baking into Bamboo 5 at one of our Atlassian RoadTrip stops, at an AUG, or by word of mouth*. If so, you’re […]

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love TestNG
Think back to your early 20’s. Remember going out on Halloween or New Year’s Eve? No sooner do you walk into a bar than someone in your group starts lobbying to go to some other bar. ‘Cuz it’s gonna be way better. (In your exasperation – you just ordered a drink for pete’s sake! – you vow that next […]
It’s the Jenkins Importer for Bamboo – are you ready??
They say you never forget your first. And if you can look back with fondness, so much the better. I certainly remember mine – his name was Jenkins. We had some great times together. Me and Jenkins and the rest of the team building every commit, automating tests… Ahh, memories. (What did you think I was talking about? […]
