During his presentation, Mark Edwards provided an overview of Atlassian’s IT Service Management (JSM) platform. He started by discussing the reasons why Atlassian was recognized as a Leader in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Service Management Platforms. This recognition was a result of Atlassian’s mission to provide organizations with a single platform that connects development, I&O, and business teams.

Mark also explained how Atlassian’s approach to service management considers the flow of work in an organization, leading to better team collaboration and visibility. He then highlighted the importance of Modern Operations and Modern Support, which focus on managing changes without introducing risks and empowering every team to be a service team, respectively.

Furthermore, Mark discussed Jira Service Management, which provides outstanding services for all teams from one platform, and shared success stories of Atlassian’s customers after implementing JSM. He concluded his presentation by discussing the features of Virtual Agent and Atlassian Intelligence, that add value to customers.

During the event, our Senior Project Manager, Muhammad Fahad, gave a presentation on High-Velocity ITSM and shared some case studies.

The benefits of this approach include reducing operational risks and time to market, improving cost efficiency and maintenance resources, increasing software development velocity, and encouraging the motivation and growth of developers.
