The Atlassian System of Work—What it is and what it means for your organization

What would it mean if you could truly tear down the silos between departments and teams in your organization? If everyone could align around collective goals, work in a shared platform, and have access to the right level of information when and where they need it, from wherever they’re located?

The Atlassian System of Work is designed to do just that.

The Atlassian System Of Work Explained

Organizations face more change and more challenges than ever before. And AI tops the list.

But it’s not just figuring out how to integrate AI. It’s managing distributed teams working in an ever-increasing number of point solutions, all generating valuable data that lives in silos while minimizing risk and reining in ballooning costs.

Organizations can overcome these changes and better respond to change when they’re all working in one powerful, flexible platform like the Atlassian System of Work.

The Atlassian System of Work is built on Jira for managing all types of projects, Confluence for managing and sharing information, Loom for sharing video updates, and Rovo, an AI teammate for searching across Atlassian and third-party tools. You might already be familiar with Jira as a software development tool, but it’s also for business teams—more on that later.

The System of Work also includes a complete set of tools for software development, Jira Service Management for teams that deliver services, and Jira Align for enterprise strategy & planning. Plus, Atlassian tools integrate with many of the most common solutions you already use, like Teams and Slack. And the Atlassian Marketplace is full of apps, so you can make Atlassian work for the way you work.

You can do almost everything you need to get done in the Atlassian System of Work. And if you can’t, you can connect to it.

Look at the chart below to see how it all comes together.

Jira For Business Teams? Really?

Yes, really.

While Atlassian has its roots in powering IT and engineering teams, its vision has broadened over time. They recognized that ALL teams struggle to plan and track work. They also recognized that when teams work on the same platform, they have more visibility and context and can collaborate better. So, in 2021, they introduced Jira Work Management, which was built on Jira and featured projects, workflows, and views purposefully built for business teams of all types–marketing, Human Resources, Sales, you name it.

Earlier this year, at Team 24, the company announced they were stepping things up a notch by merging Jira Work Management and Jira Software into one powerful solution designed for all teams. And returning to its roots, they’re simply calling it Jira.

With Jira, organization-wide goals are truly organization-wide. Cross-functional collaboration is across the entire organization. Everyone who needs to be kept in the loop can be.

And just like that, no more silos.

What the Atlassian System of Work Means for You

Whatever the size of your organization, whatever tech stack you’re currently using, the Atlassian System of Work can tear down silos and bring teams together on a unified platform where they can collaborate to achieve shared goals.

With the Atlassian System of work, you can:

• Consolidate the dozens—possibly hundreds—of project, service, asset, knowledge management, and whiteboarding solutions in use through your organization on Jira, JSM, and Confluence.
• Bridge the gap between DevOps and ITSM by implementing JSM, which comes with built-in change management, incident, and problem management functionality. Spin up service portals for every other team in your organization that delivers services, from Facilities to Human Resources.
• Unlock shared knowledge and work at speed with Atlassian’s AI-powered teammate, Rovo. Rovo searches across all your tools, apps, and data, even third-party ones, so you have all the information and context you need in whatever Atlassian tool you’re working with.
• Align more closely around organizational objectives, better fund and manage portfolios, and map strategy to work, wherever you are on your Agile or alignment journey, with Jira Align and other Atlassian and Marketplace solutions.
