SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Atlassian Corporation Plc (NASDAQ: TEAM), a leading provider of team collaboration and productivity software, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OpsGenie, Inc., whose technology enables companies to better plan for and respond to IT service disruptions.
Software has become part of our daily lives – from sending money using your phone to signing contracts with a click. But all this progress comes with a downside – specifically, downtime. When a popular online service goes down, it disrupts millions of people and costs businesses $700 billion per year in North America alone. Responding to service disruptions has become one of the biggest challenges facing IT organizations today.
Greetings from Atlassian Summit, happening right now in beautiful Barcelona. We have more than 1,500 customers, partners, experts, and staff assembled to talk about our product updates, share best practices and tips, and be inspired by all the amazing things people are doing with the Atlassian suite. Speaking of amazing, did you know someone recently used Jira to plan their wedding?
How much time do you spend every week trying to find things? At home, it’s finding your keys and, at work, it’s finding the root cause of a bug or an old pull requests that introduced the bug. Since we’re not in the business of tracking your keys, Bitbucket Server 5.13 is making it easier to discover repositories and find pull requests tied to a given commit. You can also enjoy support for Git v2, with faster no-op fetches.
When we announced Stride in September 2017, we said, “It’s time we rethink the way we’re working. We believe that teams can stay connected and keep moving forward.” We still believe that. We knew we were taking a risk by entering an already competitive real-time team communications market, but we were willing to do the hard work necessary to build a great product. And we believe we were on that path.
Over the past few years, we have accelerated into a fast-paced ‘everything now’ era. Endless tech-powered innovations are giving customers more choices than ever before. When developing new products and features, continuous delivery and rapid software release cycles are now the norms. Enterprises have to adapt, improve, and deliver solutions faster to stay competitive and meet changing customer needs.
In a recent study of software development teams using Jira Software, we found those that integrate with Bitbucket release 14% faster than those that don’t. For many industries where the pace of change is rapid and the market incredibly competitive, it’s this speed that can separate the great products in the eyes of users from the merely “good” ones.
Bug tracking is hard. Once more for your boss in the back. Bug tracking is hard! The support agent to developer handoff is a crucial yet an easily mishandled exchange. That’s bad news if you’re striving for low time-to-resolution targets and happy customers. Luckily, Atlassian and its app vendors provide an array of tools that can help you automate your bug resolution workflows to improve speed, consistency, and communication.
Supporting a growing software team is a daunting challenge, and Git is often at the heart of that task. Ensuring developers can effectively collaborate requires user provisioning, tool permissions, and enough horsepower to support all of the load. If you support a distributed team, the factors become more complex. How do you ensure developers have a consistent experience across geographies and help productivity flourish?
We surveyed 1,264 chat users to find out, and we started with two seemingly simple questions. What we learned was fascinating and inspiring, so we gathered up the data and created the team chat guide.
