Estimation best practices with Portfolio for Jira
Many teams struggle with estimation – if they estimate at all. It’s no great surprise why, there are often unknowns about what’s going to be built and the estimation process itself is time consuming.

Update on Meltdown and Spectre processor vulnerabilities
In the first week of January 2018, a number of computer chip manufacturers confirmed critical vulnerabilities in their processors.

We made a data visualization of our org chart and it looks surprisingly like a human heart
At Atlassian, we’re constantly studying teamwork. In that research, we know it’s best to start with ourselves; to understand how our teams work together first before applying our knowledge elsewhere.

Why every Atlassian administrator should get certified in 2018
The beginning of the year is the usual time to reflect on past accomplishments and set goals for the year ahead, both personally and professionally. The personal goals seem to come more naturally: be healthier, travel more, get organized. But when it comes to professional goals, it can often be harder to come up with […]
Team building, in prison
This month, 50 Atlassians participated in a rather unique team-building day. We went to prison. As part of taking the Pledge 1% pledge, Atlassian gives 1% of employee time to social causes.
