Agile transformation is critical for teams aiming to deliver value quickly in today’s fast-paced environment. According to Atlassian, 64% of Agile teams report improved project visibility, and 42% experience faster delivery cycles.
Agile practices empower teams to adapt quickly to changing requirements, reduce bottlenecks, and maintain a continuous flow of work.
This agility leads to faster releases, improved quality, and a higher focus on customer needs. Moreover, organizations using Agile practices are 28% more likely to experience greater project success due to increased collaboration and efficiency.
Atlassian empowers Agile teams through a seamless system of tools that support every stage of the Agile process - from planning and tracking to reporting and collaboration. Here's how it works:
Using Jira, teams can create and prioritise a backlog of tasks, user stories, and epics. These tasks are then allocated into sprints using customisable Scrum or Kanban boards, ensuring transparency and real-time visibility into project progress.
Jira’s real-time reporting tools, like burndown charts and velocity reports, allow teams to monitor their performance during sprints and assess how well they are staying on track. This data-driven approach helps teams quickly identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
Confluence complements Jira by acting as a centralised collaboration space where teams document meeting notes, requirements, retrospectives, and product information. It ensures all stakeholders are aligned and up-to-date, fostering transparency and accountability throughout the project lifecycle.
To enhance productivity, Jira Automation enables teams to set up automated workflows that handle routine tasks, such as updating issue statuses or sending notifications when key events occur. This reduces manual work, helping teams focus on delivering value faster.
CI/CD is essential for modern development, allowing teams to release software more frequently and reliably. For example, Amazon releases code every 11.7 seconds, while Etsy deploys 50 times a day.
Manual build and release processes slow down innovation, increase failure risks, and create costly delays. By implementing CI/CD, teams enhance velocity, streamline workflows, and foster continuous improvement.
Atlassian’s CI/CD tools enable seamless automation, enhancing visibility and collaboration for faster, more efficient releases.
Atlassian’s CI/CD solution leverages Bitbucket and Jira to automate and streamline the software delivery pipeline. When developers push code to Bitbucket, it triggers automated builds, ensuring that code is immediately tested and validated.
Bitbucket also handles deployment, ensuring fast, reliable releases. Throughout this process, Jira provides real-time visibility into progress, issues, and team collaboration.
This system removes manual bottlenecks, reduces errors, and accelerates delivery cycles, allowing teams to continuously improve and deliver high-quality software with greater efficiency.
Value stream management (VSM) is essential for streamlining your software development lifecycle, connecting teams, and boosting efficiency.
Inefficient handoffs between teams lead to wasted time and poor quality, which is why VSM aims to reduce waste like delays, task switching, and defects. Atlassian’s VSM solution eliminates these obstacles by providing complete visibility and actionable insights across the Discovery, Delivery, and Operations phases.
By leveraging tools like Jira Align, Jira, and Jira Service Management, organisations can bridge gaps, align strategy with execution, and ensure faster delivery of high-quality products. With the data-driven power of VSM, you can break down silos, accelerate workflows, and improve collaboration, ultimately enhancing sustainability and innovation across teams.
Value Stream Management (VSM) creates visibility across the entire software development lifecycle by linking data from various stages:
Discovery, Delivery, and Operations. Atlassian's VSM solution integrates tools like Jira, Jira Align, and Jira Service Management, along with third-party tools, to create a unified system of record. This system allows teams to track progress, measure performance, and ensure alignment with business goals.
By connecting all relevant data, VSM offers actionable insights, empowers teams to optimise workflows, and ensures efficient execution at every stage of the value stream.
As organisations scale, complexity increases, particularly for development teams managing multiple service dependencies, tools, and workflows.
Atlassian reports that 19% of developer time is spent searching for information across disconnected systems, with only 30% of engineers satisfied with their current tools. This results in a 50% decrease in team alignment, slowing projects and causing inefficiencies.
Furthermore, managing fragmented tools introduces 30-50% overhead, diverting attention away from core development. Streamlining request management through integrated platforms can significantly reduce these inefficiencies.
By automating workflows and improving tool coordination, teams can reduce cycle times by up to 90% and increase deployment frequency by 300%. This enhances developer productivity, reduces context switching, and accelerates delivery.
Simplified processes not only boost operational efficiency but also improve team satisfaction, ultimately supporting faster, more responsive development cycles and business growth.
Atlassian Compass integrates seamlessly into your existing DevOps ecosystem to provide a comprehensive, real-time view of your software development environment. With its Component Catalog, Compass helps track every component of your architecture, including microservices, APIs, and libraries.
This catalog automatically tracks key metrics such as component health, dependencies, activity, and ownership. By maintaining this detailed oversight, Compass reduces the cognitive load on developers, giving them quick access to the most relevant information for decision-making. Compass integrates with other Atlassian products, such as Jira and Bitbucket, allowing you to automate workflows and make faster, more informed decisions.
For example, Jira’s issue-tracking capabilities can automatically update relevant team members based on the status of different components or ongoing issues, while Bitbucket’s version control enables smoother collaboration on code and minimizes integration bottlenecks.
Through open toolchain integrations, you can connect all your third-party tools with Compass to ensure seamless information exchange, minimising manual input and enabling more efficient work across your teams.
