Company culture is important because it can make or break your company. Companies with an adaptive culture that is aligned to their business goals routinely outperform their competitors.

@bill
Thanks for the note!
We’re currently working on updating to a newer version of both software apps.

First and foremost, I love the software. It’s been a god-send with keeping up with all our projects in and outside of our Digital Media Group.

The issues really aren’t around the confluence wiki… but, more within the Jira app. We’ve been trying to integrate the editorial team as much as possible into the workflow, however… many get confused. Especially when it comes to the workflow steps.

But… like I said, it’s a work in progress.

Keep it up!
Troy

@Imran thanks for the kind mention and accurate depiction of Atlassian’s web-working culture. I’m relatively new at Atlssian (~6 months) and it’s been an eye-opening experience to be immersed in a company culture that embraces the completely transparent, wiki-way of working.

@troy Thanks for sharing your story. Some of the early adopters of our products were technical teams. Hopefully you’ll notice that we’re building our products out to be more accessible to users of all technical proficiencies. For example, we announced the Office connector back in Aug-08 which allows users to edit Confluence pages in MS Word (an editor most business users find familiar) and import Word documents as wiki pages. We built a connector to SharePoint (another commonly embraced business user app) so that users can embed SP documents and lists inside of Confluence and vice-versa. We delivered the widget connector back in December so users could embed YouTube videos, Flickr slideshows and other rich web content into their Confluence blogs and wiki pages. And in Confluence 3.0 we’ll be announcing some features that will make it even easier for your business users to contribute and stay engaged. Stay tuned and thanks for using our products!

We began using Jira and Confluence early 2007 to begin integrating our geographically distributed offices together.

We’re a b2b publishing company with it’s roots firmly planted in the print mentality, so it’s been a difficult transition to get the rest of the company on board.

The biggest challenge now is to have the teams use just Jira on Confluence for their collaberation efforts instead of email or even a mix of email and jira.

The one issue I have is that it’s geared towards the tech oriented crowd and alienates much of the business and editorial groups. So, it’s a work in progress…
