Building Apps With Enterprise in Mind

Designing for the enterprise comes with a unique set of challenges; ensuring readability and accessibility at scale, meeting the needs of multi-layered organizations, and building a trust when your software - used by dozens of thousands of employees - is considered mission-critical.

At Atlassian, we've spent countless hours digging deep into our enterprise customer's needs and we've gathered a vast repository of insights.

In this talk, Pawel Wodkowski, a senior designer on Jira Server, will share all that we've learned from our research (while not being shy about busting some of those wild admin myths!). You'll get a crash course in what it means to design for scale the Atlassian way.

Building Faster With Your Team's UI Kit

Tired of rebuilding your brand's UI in every new app your team works on? Whatever happened to DRY? This is exactly the reason why you should use a robust UI kit, like the AtlasKit, or build your own from scratch.

In this talk, Árni Freyr Snorrason, Developer and Team Lead at Tempo, will share Tempo's journey into the world of custom UI kits. He'll share how Tempo's growing visual identity for its products across multiple ecosystems, (most notably Jira Cloud and Jira Server) led to the decision to design, implement and maintain their very own Tempo UI kit, and also how the kit proved to be a crucial tool for developers to move faster and become more autonomous when developing front end features for cloud and server at the same time.

Build With Heart and Balance, Remote Work Edition

What happens to work/life balance when your home is your workplace? Join Avi Knoll, a remote software engineer at Atlassian, as they discuss ways to keep balanced and grounded while working from home.

In a healthy office environment, it's easy to take a break for lunch. Take a break for coffee. Go home at the end of the day when your colleagues are gone, the lights are off, and your friends and family would like to see you.

When you work from home, lunch is in the kitchen, or a delivery order away. You've got a coffee machine. Nobody turns out the lights on you. Your family or housemates are nearby anyway!

Avi is very strict about work/life separation, not just balance. They'll run you through the risks of not disconnecting, and then discuss techniques you can use to ensure that even in the same room, you’ll have a clear line between “I'm at work” and “I'm on a break” or ”I'll be back tomorrow!”

Shipping With Velocity and Confidence Using Feature Flags

No matter how small, every change that you roll out to customers will introduce some element of risk and there's every chance that it will impact the availability and reliability of your services. With feature flags, we can work towards minimizing that risk to keep your services reliable, highly available and ultimately keep your users happy. In this session, Peter Nguyen, Senior Engineer on the Trello team, will share how Trello uses feature flags to ship with velocity, confidence and manage deployment risks.

Come and learn about what feature flags are and how you can add them to your operational repertoire to safely roll out new features and changes.
