Atlassians

Atlassians refers to the people associated with Atlassian, the Australian software company known for its collaboration and software development tools, as well as to members of its broader user and partner ecosystem. The term encompasses employees, customers, administrators, and developers who rely on Atlassian products and contribute to its community.

Atlassian was founded in 2002 by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar in Sydney. The company built a suite of products designed to improve teamwork and software delivery, including Jira for issue tracking, Confluence for documentation, and Bitbucket for source control. It expanded its offerings with Trello, Bamboo, Opsgenie, Statuspage, Sourcetree, and a cloud-first platform that supports extensive integrations through the Atlassian Marketplace. In 2015, Atlassian went public on the NASDAQ under the ticker TEAM and has since operated as a global software company with a distributed workforce and multiple offices.

The Atlassian platform centers on collaboration across software development, project management, and IT operations. Its products are designed to be used together or independently, with interoperability through a centralized ecosystem and a marketplace for add-ons and integrations. The company emphasizes scalability for teams of varying sizes, from startups to enterprises, and supports cloud and on-premises deployment options for different needs.

Community and culture are central to the Atlassian identity. The Atlassian Community, training resources through Atlassian University, and a focus on openness and teamwork help sustain a broad user base of practitioners, partners, and contributors who share best practices, standards, and plugins.
