Break it down: decomposing user stories in Jira
With over 500k agile projects in Jira (among just Cloud customers – wow!), we realized we’re sitting on a ton of data that sheds light on how agile teams function. We then bet, that with some anonymized data mining, we could find teams that have a release cadence that they hit sprint after sprint after sprint.
Collating repositories or grafting earlier history with Git
Let’s add another arrow to our already full quiver of version control tools and techniques. Do you know that the Linux kernel you clone normally contains only a part of its entire history? If you need access to its uninterrupted evolution since the first commit you have to “graft” a few separate repositories together chronologically. In this post I’d […]

Infographic: why IT teams like chat
85% of the IT teams we surveyed use chat tools. That’s a lot of people. 85% out of a 100% is a better number than Presidential election results, or how many customers were satisfied with The Baconator. We wanted to dig deeper, we wanted to know why IT loves them some chat instead of email. So, we went directly to the IT community to find out. We talked to agents, managers, and directors and asked them about how chat makes their work life awesome. Check out what they said.
#LoveWins at Atlassian
When I moved from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to San Francisco in 2011 to work for Atlassian, I wasn’t sure what to expect. From the outside, everything looked great.
