Displate ’s Post

I've spent 3 years taking Atlassian's developer experience platform product, Compass from an idea with no code to generally available (today!). This is the 2nd product my team has had to find product market fit for in the last 2 years, and it has been a wild ride to run products with 0 revenue alongside products that have been around for yearsssss. Here is some of what I've learned about launching a new product within a large company: 1. DO NOT starve the new product of resources in order to fund products that make revenue, you are sacrificing short-term gains for long-term revenue. 2. There are 3 stages: - Product "solution"fit: you have validated that there is problem worth solving, but do not have clear evidence that your customers really care enough about your value proposition enough to buy it. - product "market" fit: the value prop is creating value for customers by alleviating their pains and creating the gains they desire, in a way that they prefer over current alternative solutions but you don't have evidence that the product will sell enough to justify it’s long-term existence. - and business model fit: You’ve found a value proposition that creates value for your customers, and a business model that creates optimal value for your company. 3. The product might be so new, that you might need to create the category, or find what category already exists. Then, freeze the market by painting a vision, even if there is no code. 4. Obsess over who the end user is, and who the buyer is and learn how they buy, why they buy, and how long it takes them to buy - just because your company model is PLG or sales led, doesn't mean this product will be. If it needs to be PLG, obsess over KPIs that center around aha moments and unlocking time to value quicker. If sales led, obsess over what sales needs to consider this product ready to be sold alongside more established products. 5. Ask your users how disappointed they would be if they could no longer use your product.... constantly. Congrats to the Compass team who made this happen, we hope you love it!

Last week I joined Atlassian Team Playbook with Mark Cruth, Sven Peters and many amazing people. The talk on vision and goals was not only educational but fun as well. I remember a question in the workshop session about the best way to handle two groups of the same team having different objectives/goals (paraphrasing the question) and here's what I think. There's a need to implement a level of flexibility especially when there are so many leaders and brilliant minds in a team. It gives room for expression and can lead to amazing and better optimized 'how to get to your destination'. However, it is also quite important to ensure first of all that groups in the same team are united under common objectives/goals because having divided paths will under-utilize the energy, focus, time and resources of the team in overall deployment of steps to get to its desired purpose. After the objective is clear, provision should be made for other ideas to easily flow and be communicated. A much smaller group can then be set up to work on some of these new ideas. This will allow a greater part of the resources of the team to be directed towards the central objectives while the team does not miss out on finding out a better way. At predetermined stages of implementation of the separate set of goals there should be a check of which direction is optimal. The bigger group can switch without having to start from scratch if the smaller group are really onto something special or vice versa. Just in case you have tried this out or know a similar scenario from the question, do share how it went and perhaps what you know that works and doesn't 🙂.

Ask any Developer around including myself, what's on top of our wishlist. The answer is always, "A better developer experience and engineering velocity." It's pretty much the reason why most organizations host an internal developer portal and need to set apart resources for managing it. To your timely rescue, Compass by Atlassian is now generally available. Compass does the heavy lifting by providing you the following default capabilities: 1. Unified software component catalog: Reduce time spent searching and untangle your technical architecture with an easy-to-setup, centralized catalog to track all of your services and relevant data—in one place. 2. Health scorecards, DORA metrics, and more: Establish and track software delivery and team health metrics to identify points of friction for development teams and improve reliability for existing services. 3. Software templates: Remove guesswork and automate consistency for developers creating new services with best practices, policies, cloud provisioning, and deployment pipelines baked right into customizable templates. 4. Extensibility: Connect all of your favorite observability, CI/CD, testing, collaboration, and source code management tools to prevent context switching and see relevant data for all of the services you own. What I can assure you is since the beta launch of the product, world-class engineering organizations, such as Dropbox, KFC UK&I, ExpressVPN, and Boden, have already turned to Compass to improve their developer experience. What are you waiting for? You too can stand on the shoulders of giants 💪 Try Compass for free today: https://lnkd.in/dyCC3dta #AtlassianCreator #Atlassian #Compass

Fresh recommendation from Atlassian & DX's State of Developer Experience Report 2024: Create a Demo Culture with Weekly Showcases The good news? You don't need to add another weekly meeting for this! Inviting contributions to a shared "Demo of the Week" playlist on DemoFox is all it takes to get started.

We had the privilege of learning from former Atlassian CFO, Alex Estevez, at our 2024 Marketing Kickoff last week. Alex inspired the entire team by sharing wisdom from decades of experience growing technology companies. He emphasized the importance of focusing on your sweet spot (by saying “no”), understanding how your ICP actually uses your product, and articulating the value it creates for their business. How do you stand out amidst the noise? Focus on simplicity and value creation, Alex says. Thanks for coming down to Endeavor Greenville to share your insight with us, C. Alex Estevez!
