Atlassian News ~ End of the Year Edition

Welcome, everyone to our ‘End of the Year’ Atlassian News!

A lot has happened this year in the Atlassian world and staying up to date is a big challenge 😵 So… I am doing the dirty work for you, and summarized all the latest features and news from the Atlassian ecosystem (you’re welcome😂).

So grab a coffee ☕️, and get ready for this 👇🏻

I have a lot of explosive news 💥 just for you!

👀 GENERAL UPDATES & COMMUNICATIONS

Atlassian named a Leader in the 2024 Forrester Wave for Knowledge Management. Confluence is a leading Knowledge Management tool and it is a great fit for customers seeking to transform silos in an enterprise-wide collaborative practice. The introduction of AI, the use of Rovo and the integration with Loom has definitively helped Confluence to become a leader.
Loom: it was announced last year, but only recently we could touch the benefits of using it integrated into the Atlassian Ecosystem. Loom is a great tool that has helped reducing the number of meetings, to allow people working async.
Rovo: Rovo was the biggest announcement this year. This tool helps you gather data from different sources, helping you speeding up your work.
