Atlassian named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Value Stream Management Solutions, Q2 2025
AI-powered insights and connected data give enterprise leaders the strategic edge
As technology-driven companies grow, things can get messy. Teams multiply, systems and knowledge sprawl, and goals layer on top of each other. To stay agile and respond to shifting market demands, organizations need real-time visibility into work, people, and tools.
That’s where Value Stream Management (VSM) comes in. By exposing bottlenecks and aligning work with strategic goals, VSM empowers organizational transformation at scale.
Atlassian is a Leader in VSM
For over a decade, Atlassian has supported enterprise agile planning with Jira Align, which gives teams visibility across the entire product lifecycle. Over the years, we’ve been steadily progressing our value stream capabilities to incorporate Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Compass, underpinned by the strength of our Atlassian Cloud Platform.
We have been positioned as a Leader in The Forrester WaveTM: Value Stream Management Solutions, Q2 2025, which we believe is because of our approach and commitment to continuous innovation.
What differentiates our solution?
First, it’s ability to turn oodles of data into powerful insights for leaders. Data from Atlassian and third-party apps flows into the Atlassian Teamwork Graph—the backbone of our VSM offering—connecting work, teams, and outcomes to give leaders clear insight into what’s happening, who’s doing it, and how it ties to strategy.
Second, Rovo provides teams with AI-powered chat, search, and agents so they can easily inject AI into all parts of the value stream. In its evaluation of Atlassian’s AI capabilities for VSM, the Forrester report states:
Atlassian’s strong commitment to innovation is shown in Rovo, its enterprise AI solution that provides help from setup to data analysis…Atlassian’s Rovo AI assistant is excellent. It goes beyond basic summarization to provide real assistance with integration, customization, analysis, data modeling, and Jira setup.
Our next chapter: Atlassian Strategy Collection
As I said earlier, we’ve been hard at work evolving our VSM offering beyond Jira Align. On its own, Jira Align is a powerful app for work planning at scale. It becomes even more powerful when paired with two other Atlassian apps – Focus and Talent – in our Strategy Collection.
Introducing Strategy Collection
- Focus: A leader’s central hub for strategic planning that provides a single place for real-time visibility into how company priorities are progressing.
- Talent: A new intelligent workforce planning app to help leaders make sure the right people are working on the most important priorities.
- Align: An app for planning and tracking work across an enterprise, and to visualize how all that work ladders up to strategic priorities.
Announced at Team ’25, Strategy Collection brings together these apps to help leaders answer the BIG questions: Are teams focusing on what truly matters? Will their work drive the outcomes our business needs? Is everyone aligned in the right direction for the company? Are we missing something big?
Strategy Collection connects leaders to all parts of their organization so they can answer these crucial questions with confidence and act fast when required. It provides a clear view connecting strategy to execution, with real-time data showing if teams are driving toward the outcomes that matter most.
Forrester took note of our innovation in this area in its evaluation:
Atlassian’s strong roadmap includes continued AI investments and Focus, a new strategic portfolio management application in beta at the time of our evaluation.
Existing Align customers will get access to the full Strategy Collection at no additional cost. Learn more about the Strategy Collection, including pricing and availability, at www.atlassian.com/collections/strategy.
