The pros and cons of right-to-disconnect legislation

The workplace has never been more flexible. Today’s teams often work asynchronously and with members distributed across physical spaces, international borders, and even multiple time zones. But with great workplace flexibility comes great employer responsibility. When organizational leaders choose to communicate with their team members outside of working hours and on days off – and normalize a workplace culture that does not respect boundaries around employees’ personal time – they may create an environment where workers feel like they’re always on-call – or worse, where they really are.

Data residency is coming to Forge! Update your apps to benefit and avoid performance impacts

This week, we’re wrapping up a staged rollout of data residency for Forge hosted storage. This represents an important milestone toward supporting developers in building enterprise-grade apps and customizations using our Forge platform. It also means you’ll have more flexibility to customize your instance with applications that meet your data residency needs.
With data residency available in all Atlassian-supported regions for Forge hosted storage, it’s now easier than ever for developers to build apps with data residency built in. While traditionally, developers would need to update their own infrastructure and systems to support realm pinning and migration, Atlassian now takes care of the heavy lifting for any data in Forge-hosted storage.

Fixed date milestones are now milestones (and they're still not objectives)

Hiya, everyone! Jake here, and I am stoked to announce the launch of milestones in Jira Align! Milestones mark our first big … milestone in elevating our roadmap to allow users to more effectively plan, track progress, and tell a compelling story across an entire organization. Milestones are critical because they allow users to add, update, and track important moments of their work, and to distinguish different phases of their work.
With milestones, we bid farewell to the days when Jira Align work items exclusively represent software development work. Instead, we are embracing a new era where work represents the true start and end of the entire lifecycle, from initial product discovery to final launches.

Launch Your Intranet to Success: Engagement Strategies for Liftoff

The countdown to your intranet's debut has begun, and the anticipation is palpable. But hold off on the champagne for just a moment! While having a stellar intranet is crucial, it's equally important to ensure its successful adoption and usage by your team. After all, an intranet is only as effective as its engagement levels.
Here's the reality: even the most advanced intranet can languish unused if you don't ignite enthusiasm and encourage adoption.
