ATLASSIAN
• 200 employees. 8 years old. 8 products. 4
  countries.
  • JIRA - issue tracking & project mgt
  • Confluence - enterprise wiki
• 15,000 enterprise customers in 110
  countries.
• “Product driven” model
“Because the purpose of business is to create a
customer, the business enterprise has two--and only
     two--basic functions: marketing and innovation.

          Marketing and innovation produce results;
                             all the rest are costs.”

                                      Peter Drucker

Innovation Killers

• Company growth
• Specifications from ‘on high’
• Date driven culture
• Not enough ‘slack time’
Atlassian Activities


• Fedex Day
• 20% Time
Fedex Day
Fedex Day - 2004

 • 24 hour one-day coding exercise
 • Start early AM, demos late afternoon
 • One goal - “Ship & deliver in 24 hours”

http://blogs.atlassian.com/rebelutionary/archives/
                    000495.html
Learnings
•   One day isn’t long enough

•   “Winning” needs to be de-emphasised

•   Get the whole company to watch demos

•   Didn’t work outside development

•   Works best with smaller team

•   Retrospectives are important - “What do we want
    to try to ship, and what’s required to get there?”

•   Shipping code takes much longer than you think!
20% Time
20% Time
• The Google ‘myth’
  Lawless innovation?
• Aim: discover the realities
  Made up our own rules
• The $1m gamble
  http://blogs.atlassian.com/developer/
  2008/03/20_time_experiment.html
Why?

• Build innovative features
• Engineers’ jobs get less fun w/ growth
  - further from product decisions
• Product Managers aren’t perfect
  - fill hole in the roadmap
• The power of a built idea to shape thinking
How did we do?
http://blogs.atlassian.com/developer/
2009/02/20_percent_year_in_review.html
20% Results

• Filling gaps as much as finding next big thing
• Hardest on tech leads!
• Tracking was a contentious issue
 • Ended with per person, not project
Just Remember

• You can start small
• Failure is okay
• Sometimes weird is better than useful
• Build in slack time
