Developers of a certain age remember life before Git. Some of us remember Subversion, some of us remember CVS, and a few wise old souls remember the days when version control meant remembering to write the date on the floppy disks. But here in 2021, Git and hosted platforms like GitHub have revolutionized collaborative software development.

For more than six years, the DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team has strived to measure and understand how teams achieve “DevOps success”, and they found that four simple measurements can accurately separate elite performers from the rest of the pack.

DevOps concepts and CI/CD tools are gaining wider adoption as they help developers deliver code faster than ever before, but persistent struggles exist across the industry and prevent teams from achieving optimum velocity. Even though the vast majority of developers choose Git as their preferred version control platform, most don’t understand the critical role Git plays in the continuous delivery process, and how powerful it can be when combined with CI/CD tools.

No matter the team or the project, developers need to keep everyone updated on their progress. While Jira provides a rock-solid foundation for tracking and communicating progress, most developers agree: they don’t want to live in Jira. And neither do managers! They also want to see developers focused on solving hard problems and getting new features safely out the door.

A surprising number of development teams have failed to adopt automated deployment, oftentimes because people think their tech stack is either too simple or too complex. But GitHub Actions and AWS CDK provide tools and services to make deployment and automation tasks approachable, no matter the size or complexity of your environment. These tools also provide a high level of visibility throughout the deployment process.

Jira Service Management offers full visibility into services and the infrastructure that supports them, so you can better manage risk and address incidents when they occur.

Bitbucket product manager, Andrew Parkevicius, gives an overview of how to use the new Bitbucket Cloud Migration Assistant, an Atlassian-supported app to automate the migration process from Bitbucket Server to Bitbucket Cloud. Demo Den is a regular series by Atlassian Product Managers, Engineers, and Product Designers.

We’ve made two simple, but important improvements to the Jira Service Management portal experience. This video introduces the ability to configure a custom login welcome message and customize home page layout, including the ability to select featured service projects. Driven by the desire to continually improve the customer experience and enhance guidance within the portal, these enhancements enable customers to easily get access, and find the help they need fast.
