Atlassian’s business was build by and for software developers and - from Jira to the newest offerings in our product suite - continues to be a pillar to drive success for our customers. Despite major gains in cloud computing and AI, software teams across every industry face increased friction getting in the way of their ability to deliver value.

To address these challenges, Atlassian empowers organizations to take an end-to-end approach to world-class software development.
