May 1st 2021 - isn’t it a great date to restart the ij-solutions blog?

I think so, and also to move the blog again back to Confluence. Now in the cloud. We started 2 years ago on Confluence server, then switched to our homepage. Now we are back on Confluence in the cloud. Blog templates are already there and we have our whole app documentation and knowledge base here, so why using a different environment to write the blog which wasn’t actually designed for it?

For sure, the blog posts from last year will remain in the blog section of our homepage. We might link them sometimes in the upcoming posts, so they are not gone and can be read through again. If you are new to this blog, you can find the older posts here.

If you are looking for this text in German, we unfortunately have to tell you that it will be only available in English from now on. Writing in two languages increases the effort and furthermore, many terms in the Atlassian environment haven’t got an equal German word and thus aren’t translated that well in my point of view.

Now to the topic of this restart blog post: I participated in team 21, the digital conference hosted by Atlassian formerly known as summit. I want to share my thoughts on it. This also fits to my last post in October 2020 after the announcement of Atlassian to end support for their server products. Now, the first conference took place after that announcement and the profound changes in the Atlassian tool landscape.

The most important impressions for me have been:

  • Atlassian announced to be a “cloud first” company in October last year. In the team 21 event it felt like they are a “cloud only” company. The on premise tools (only data center left over) are only mentioned in subordinate clauses. 95% of sessions contents have been about the cloud products.

  • Again, new companies have been acquired by Atlassian in the past year and thus new tools joined the Atlassian family. Additionally, own developed tools are launched. Today, a jungle of tools and integrations exist and for me it seems like it becomes more and more difficult to know all of them and to get to know which one is the best solution for someones purpose. I am wondering if that is intended by Atlassian or if there will be a consolidation take place at some time to clean up this jungle? Let’s see if this will go on…

  • For me, the most interesting tool that has been launched is Jira Work Management.
