Atlassian Ecosystem Updates: Trello, Community, and More

Submitted by vinod on

Welcome to a roundup of the latest updates from the Atlassian ecosystem. This week, we're focusing on Trello, the Atlassian community, and other interesting news.

Trello Updates

Trello is a popular tool for simple task management, distinct from Jira which is better suited for IT software development and service desk. If you're unsure which to use, do some research or reach out for guidance.

Several updates are coming soon to Trello:

  • Trello Inbox: A centralized place for items needing your attention.
  • Trello Planner: A calendar-like feature for drag-and-drop activity management.
  • Navigation Bar Changes: The UI is being updated, though some might find the frequency of changes excessive.
  • Atlassian Intelligence Integration: AI features are being added to Trello.
  • Mobile Widget: A new mobile widget allows for quick task creation and management.
  • Malware Scanner: Trello will now scan attached files for malicious content.

Atlassian Community

The Atlassian community has a new UI and improvements to its point system. Your rank is now more visible, and reaching community leader status can bring rewards. The Atlassian community is a valuable resource for support and learning about Atlassian tools.

Upcoming Event

The Noa community in Delhi NCR is hosting an event titled "Rise of Robo: The Future of Work is Already Here." This event may provide valuable insights into Atlassian's approach to automation and AI.

Jira and Scripting

  • A video discusses the lack of a native deep clone feature in Jira. While cloning exists, a configurable deep clone option would be beneficial.
  • A blog post outlines the prerequisites for learning Script Runner for Jira, emphasizing the importance of a programming background (especially Groovy) and knowledge of Jira Java and REST APIs.

Sprint Runner for Jira

A new app, Sprint Runner for Jira, helps Scrum masters and project managers by automating sprint start and stop times. It also offers smart issue handling, such as moving incomplete issues to the backlog or the next sprint.

I hope you found these updates helpful!
