I’ve been on a lot of teams in my journey from a software engineer to head of product for Confluence Cloud. All of the best ones have had one thing in common: they were comprised of people from different walks of life who could view the world from different perspectives. So naturally when I started hiring my own teams, I knew promoting diversity at the workplace would be a priority for me.
Product roadmaps are one of the most powerful documents a team can build. A good roadmap makes sure that everyone working on a product – from senior executives, to product leaders, to design, to development – understands the status of work and are aligned on upcoming priorities.
When you take a step back and think about society’s big technological breakthroughs — the printing press, the television, the Internet — they were revolutionary because they completely disrupted the way that the world shares knowledge. If you haven’t heard of it, knowledge sharing is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: it’s the exchange of information between different people, teams, organizations, or communities.
The job of the IT professional has become more difficult over the past decade. This is not necessarily due to the workload, but because of the dramatic shift we’ve seen in the way our organizations, employees, and customers are now operating in a software-powered world.
About two years ago here at Mattermost, we decided to start building a prototype for our mobile apps in React Native (RN for short). We were so impressed with how easy it was to build our app for both platforms that we ultimately decided that RN was the way to go for mattermost-mobile apps. Thanks to RN, we can focus exclusively on ensuring feature parity between our mobile apps and our webapp.
Cloud is a big part of Atlassian’s future, and we’re more focused than ever on delivering a great Server to Cloud migration experience. When developing software, there is no better way to test than doing it yourself. So that’s what we did. In an effort to learn more, understand pain points, and make a better experience for our customers, we migrated our whole company’s Jira and Confluence instances to the Atlassian Cloud.
First, an introduction. My name is Matt Yonkovit. In September, I joined Mattermost as the head of Customer Success. For the last 13 years, I’ve helped customers succeed using open source software. My goal at Mattermost is to build out a world-class support and success program that enables our customers and community to use Mattermost to revolutionize their business processes and workflow.
Mattermost 5.4 includes new features designed to increase team productivity.
