Go from dream to done, with Atlassian

thesiliconreview-scott-farquhar-cofounder-mike-cannon-brookes-cofounder-ceo-atlassian-2018Armed with a credit card and a dream, two college friends, Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar set out to create Atlassian. In 2002, they didn't know what kind of company Atlassian was going to be, but they knew exactly what it shouldn't be—an environment where they had to conform rather than be who they authentically are. Now, over 15 years later, our team has grown to over 2,500 Atlassians worldwide with offices around the globe.

The Atlassian Team Playbook

Atlassian wants to unleash the potential in every team. But it takes more than giving the right tools to the right people – you need the right practices, too. That's why we opened up our Team Playbook. Here, you'll find tool-agnostic techniques Atlassian teams use every day to unleash their potential and do the best work of their lives. This ain't your CEO's management book. It's tactical, battle-tested, and bullshit-free.

Anyone – from interns to executives – can use the Team Playbook. So don't wait for permission. Share it with your team and get started now.

Meet the unique builders and innovators leading the way

Our people are at the heart of Atlassian. With over 100 years of combined experience, we’ve got a well-seasoned team at the helm.
