Welcome to a brand new series of blogs where we now look back over the last month for Atlassian products. Atlassian like a lot of software companies are of course release new things daily. This blog is not going to be a complete catch up of everything I or someone in the community has noticed over the last month, but more on the larger release items or the new EAP & other important announcements from Atlassian.

Finally we see the end to our Team24 conference. But what does all this mean? For the final day I take I highlight some of the new cool marketplace changes coming through as well as some additional items from Day 2 that needed to be recapped.

Day 2 is the first full day of Team & I can comfortably say I have never seen a more busy day for announcements. Join me as I break down the big announcements from the founders keynote.

I was lucky enough to find myself at Team24 this year. Team is a 3 day event so join me every day as we explore everything that is going on here in Las Vegas

We are less than two weeks away from the largest annual Atlassian conference of 2024. Atlassian’s Team ‘24 event will be an absolute hit and for those that have been to previous events. But if this is your first time going check out the blog for what are the last minute prep items we need to know before going?

Welcome all to another catch up. This week we are casting our eyes back to last October. Yes I know this is a little while ago, but it is for a good reason. Anybody remember?

Well hasn’t the last year flown! I cannot believe we are already talking about the Atlassian team event again so soon. While we are still a fair few weeks away, it will fly by. So what do we need to discuss?

I cannot believe a month has already passed since we welcomed in the ICYMI series. But when a new month begins, we need to make sure we look back at the previous and all the amazing things that have happened in the ecosystem that is Atlassian. This blog is not going to be a complete catch up of everything I or someone in the community has noticed over the last month, but more on the larger release items or the new EAP & other important announcements from Atlassian.

AI is a hot topic at the moment. There has been so much development in the world of AI. By now, there are a lot of us that are using it to help with random day to day personal tasks as well as in our working lives. However sometimes with new emerging technology, the challenge is knowing exactly where to start. Lewis from Eficode is helping us resolve that challenge.

ACE Solent is hitting January by storm in 2024, with not one but two great events. The first event was also our first virtual event. We were lucky to be joined by Zigiwave, a great software company that creates integration products.

Dan from Zigiwave (great name I must say) was explaining how and why companies often want to pair Jira Service Management with other ITSM solutions.

What an amazing time we had down in Portsmouth for our Christmas party. ACE Solent was looking to send 2023 out with a bang as we celebrated the brilliance that was the server products. They gave so many companies a great platform to work with as well as many of us, including myself, a career. ACE Solent were joined by Andy Fernandez from Hycu. They gave us a great presentation around the importance of data retention and securing your data, regardless of whether it is a SaaS product.

Only in the last year did I start to truly understand the scale of the Atlassian community. I always knew the community website existed and have loved the openness and help received from it. But this last year I felt like I wanted to do more to give back. I felt like coming a community leader was the right step. Bring small intimate events to Atlassian enthusiasts like myself to the south outside of London.

Last week we managed to see this all the way through. We finally managed to launch the ACE Solent chapter last week. This week I just wanted to discuss a little on the community, why it is vital to product success and a little on this specific event.

Last week Appfire & I filmed the latest version of Monday Coffee, a weekly digest of what is going on in the Atlassian ecosystem. I feel incredibly honoured to have been given the opportunity & thoroughly enjoyed every second.

Atlassian has been developing software for over twenty years, with Jira first coming out in 2002. Since then they have seen huge amount of ups with a few downs here and there. The trouble with all of this is that the software & therefore the business itself has a lifespan. An expiry date in which the product now is obsolete. So how does any company continue to not only make their existing products relevant, but continue to invest and create new products, keeping the company at the cutting edge?

Teams often struggle to roll up and estimate above epics. Why? mainly because it is a finger in the wind estimation because they are not able to look back over previous work for similar sized items to understand timings etc. We have all seen this issue before, so here is how I solved it in my day job.
