JIRA 5.2 sneak peek: Build the Perfect Screen

Those of us who've taken the red pill and gone down the rabbit hole know: JIRA can enable almost any process. Whether it's converting Neil Young's Lincoln to an electric vehicle or powering a toaster, JIRA's flexibility let's us keep pace with the unique needs of every project. A large part of JIRA's power and flexibility lies in screens. Screens let you capture different pieces of information at different points in your process, like a time estimate before someone starts work, or a due date when

JIRA Real Life

Here at Atlassian we like to do things a little differently. Our HR initiatives are no exception. From ShipIt Days to European Recruitment Roadshows and Hack Houses on the shore, we're not afraid to try some pretty crazy ideas to "be the change we seek!" A few months back we were dealing with implications of the new Australian Work, Health and Safety Laws (WHS) that took effect earlier this year. One problem we wanted to tackle in particular was finding a way to empower staff to be more pro-active

In May, we announced that our innovation day had creeped on to the radar of none other than [redacted] Corp itself. After they asked us (kindly!) to discontinue using their brand in connection with our event, we put out an open call for help finding a new name for our hack day that still retained its ambitious "ship in a day" flavor. The volume of responses was stunning, but not surprising considering how much the concept has grown in the hands of other companies like Adobe, Symantec, Ambientia,

RIP [Redacted] Day, Meet [Your idea here] Day

Since 2005, we've been holding quarterly internal innovation days - our unique blend of a hack day and Google's 20% time. Seven years later, we've done 19 of these events, featuring more than 500 projects from developers, IT ninjas, and even marketing folks. The name for the event was inspired by the one company that "ships" more than anyone - [Redacted] - and their commitment to ship something in 24 hours. We liked the idea of applying that "ship in a day" concept to these internal innovation hack-a-thons,

ShipIt 19 Winners and Finalists

  Now that Confluence 4.2 is in the hands of our customers, I would like to report back on what was an awesome ShipIt. In late February we celebrated ShipIt 19. We decided to do something a little different. We took the original ShipIt formula and gave it a twist UX pizaz. Participants were encouraged to take existing features in Atlassian products and make them more user friendly. Inspiration came from our support teams, design teams and of course, highly voted upon Jira issues in

  • On March 21, 2012
Every quarter, our engineers get to 24 hours to work on anything they want related to Atlassian with the aim of shipping a functional product. We call these innovation days ShipIt Days. We've run nineteen ShipIt Days total, with over 550 projects presented since our inaugural event. And in November 2011, we launched a campaign to put on a ShipIt Day for another company – beer, trophies, and ShipIt Experts supplied by us.  We held a call for entries to our ShipIt Day campaign for only one month
