The end of the year is typically a time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished in the past twelve months and set goals for the new year. If you’re part of an IT team, you’ve probably accomplished a lot, from managing software upgrades to dealing with major incidents and service outages. But how many times this year have people in your company stopped to say thank you?
It’s been an exciting year here at Confluence Cloud and we want to spread some of that cheer with you. With the holidays and new year upon us, our Confluence mobile elves have been hard at work delivering exciting new features to help you collaborate on the go. So much has changed since we introduced our Confluence Cloud apps for iOS and Android a couple years ago. We thought we’d share 5 tips to help you get work done in 2019.
Don’t you just love getting last-minute feedback from your boss right before your deadline? What about combing through a deluge of irrelevant-but-weighty comments from coworkers who aren’t even working on your project?
At Atlassian, we want to give our customers choice in how they deploy Atlassian products: in the cloud, managed by Atlassian, or on the infrastructure of your choice with Server or Data Center. Many of our on-premise customers begin their Atlassian journey with our server products, with the ability to download our software and install it on a single server that you control. This gets you up and running quickly.
Picture boring a new subway tunnel while the city above you goes on about its business, oblivious to the machinations under the surface. That’s pretty much the project we completed earlier this year. Only we were working in the cloud.
Just when you think you’ve got this whole “knowledge economy” thing figured out, here comes the “creative economy” – the world in which your ability to succeed and add value is limited only by your imagination. Of course, that creativity needs to be informed by a deep understanding of your customers.
Major incidents are inevitable, and fixing them is the top priority for any ops or DevOps team. But what happens after service is restored? Do teams take the time to fully understand what went wrong, then follow up to prevent it happening again?
In the ‘90s, we used to think of blogs as online diaries, filled with oversharing and bad graphic animations. But since then, they’ve grown into a full-blown industry. Influencers are now able to make whole careers out of successful blogs and it’s difficult to find a company that’s not using a blog as part of its marketing strategy.
Many teams choose Atlassian Server products because they want or need control over their data and infrastructure. But did you know that Atlassian offers another option for you to deploy on your own infrastructure? This alternative is called Atlassian Data Center, our self-managed enterprise offering, which provides the same functionality you know and love in our Server products, but has additional capabilities to better serve enterprise organizations.
I’ve been on a lot of teams in my journey from a software engineer to head of product for Confluence Cloud. All of the best ones have had one thing in common: they were comprised of people from different walks of life who could view the world from different perspectives. So naturally when I started hiring my own teams, I knew promoting diversity at the workplace would be a priority for me.
