Bitbucket snippets for teams are here with a rich set of APIs

We’re thrilled to announce Snippets, available now in Bitbucket, where you can create and manage multi-file snippets of all kinds. We took a different approach than standard pastebin or gist and we built Snippets around teams. Snippets can be shared with your team, made private to you, or fully public; you control read and write privileges. If you create a snippet owned by your team, the snippet will stay with the team forever, even after you leave that team.

Snippets for teams are here with a rich set of APIs

Teams that use Bitbucket often want to share important information that isn’t part of their project repository – favorite regexes, config files, code snippets, homebrew recipes (beers, and the package manager).

Working to be the change that you (the customer) seek

Who loves feedback? I can you tell that we do. We love it so much that we’ve created a team dedicated to seeking, synthesizing, and taking action on feedback from our customers. We call it the ‘Voice of the Customer’ team – i.e., the Voice of You. Recently, we’ve been sending emails and adding feedback prompts in our products with a single question: “On a scale from 1 to 10, how likely are you to recommend the product to a colleague?” And we use your answers to calculate our Net Promoter Score (NPS).

Inside Atlassian: stand-ups for distributed and co-located teams

Stand-up is one of the fundamental parts of agile development, and it’s often the most misunderstood. Let’s be real: stand-ups by themselves don’t make your team agile. They aren’t about inflating egos or justifying job descriptions. They aren’t a time to plan; Sprint planning is for planning. They also aren’t the only time to mention blockers. If you’re stuck, ask for help!
