Tear Up Your Roadmap and Get Out of the Building
You’d never knowingly ship something to your customers that didn’t deliver value, would you? Would you still stand your ground if you were under pressure to get a team of developers working on something?
You probably know that one of Atlassian’s most well-known values is “Don’t f*** the customer”, so learn what happened when a lean product team decided to tear up the roadmap because they were brave enough to admit they didn’t understand their customers well enough.
Join Janel Blattler, as she shares how her team used research to unveil a new plan in just a few weeks. You’ll be able to practice some techniques and walk away with a bucket load of inspiration.
Come along if you’d like to run research, but worry that you don’t have enough time or lack the skills to do so – you don’t need to be a researcher on your team. This session is for you if you’re looking for ways to drive customer empathy closer in the team, or you’d like to up your game and discover some new techniques for delivering lean research with actionable insights.
Nailing Measurement: a Framework for Measuring Metrics that Matter
When it comes to designing apps and new features, we just can't get enough of metrics. In an age where we can collect data from almost anything, how can we cut through the noise and focus on the right metrics to measure the success and failures of the apps that we’re building?
Join Atlassian Product Manager Josephine Lee as she delves through what exactly makes a good metric. Throughout the talk, we’ll walk through real Atlassian examples of good and bad metrics. By exploring a framework for measurement, we’ll cover detailed features that showcase how best to measure and choose the right set of success, supportive, and counter metrics.
You'll walk away with tips and learnings from Atlassian’s approach to measuring success, and learn how to use data and metrics to inspire action in your apps.
Building Apps With Color Blind Users in Mind
Color-blind people are using your apps. 1 in 12 men is color blind. And for women, this is 1 in 200.
Building apps that work well for color blind people is not difficult. Some simple techniques help us with the design of our interface. And some tools help us see what color blind people see.
In this talk, Maarten Arts of Avisi will look at common varieties of color blindness. We will look at apps through the eyes of a color-blind person. And we will discover what color-blind people struggle with.
Regardless of whether you're a designer or developer, this talk will equip you with the skills and the tools you need to make sure that your app works for color-blind people.
Creating Inclusive Experiences: Balancing Personality and Accessibility in UX...
The words we choose have the power to include or alienate our users. The reality is that for many, English is spoken as a second language. And unless you're going to localize your product for those major non-English speaking markets, you'll need to thoughtfully create content that is accessible to a larger audience.
But how do we create products that maintain a sense of personality without isolating a wide audience of non-native speakers?
Join Atlassian Content Designer, Roana Bilia, as she walks you through why thoughtful, inclusive content, is key to creating well-designed user experiences. You'll walk away with foundational principles for good UX copy when optimizing your product UI, a few quick wins that you as creators and developers can incorporate into your next products, as well as a set of mistakes to avoid that companies—including Atlassian—have made, which prioritized native speakers but isolated non-native speakers.
The Road(map) to Las Vegas - The Story of an Emerging Self-Managed Team
In September 2018, K15t took its mission to go self-managed to the next-level when the entire company worked together to decide on the Next Big Thing™ to build for Atlassian users and present it at Summit in Las Vegas.
In this session, Anshuman Dash, an intern turned software engineer, turned product manager, shares his journey of professional self-discovery. In under five months, he joins a freshly assembled, self-managed team in building a new Atlassian Marketplace app.
Dash will give a quick intro to what it means for a team to be self-managed. Then, he'll share his observations and experiences on the team, as well as the best-practices, patterns, and processes K15t has discovered along the way.
Whether you are a new team with a kick-ass product idea or a big company figuring out ways to scale, this talk will provide you with practical tips and ideas your team can try out!
Building Apps With Enterprise in Mind
Designing for the enterprise comes with a unique set of challenges; ensuring readability and accessibility at scale, meeting the needs of multi-layered organizations, and building a trust when your software - used by dozens of thousands of employees - is considered mission-critical.
At Atlassian, we've spent countless hours digging deep into our enterprise customer's needs and we've gathered a vast repository of insights.
In this talk, Pawel Wodkowski, a senior designer on Jira Server, will share all that we've learned from our research (while not being shy about busting some of those wild admin myths!). You'll get a crash course in what it means to design for scale the Atlassian way.
Shipping With Velocity and Confidence Using Feature Flags
No matter how small, every change that you roll out to customers will introduce some element of risk and there's every chance that it will impact the availability and reliability of your services. With feature flags, we can work towards minimizing that risk to keep your services reliable, highly available and ultimately keep your users happy. In this session, Peter Nguyen, Senior Engineer on the Trello team, will share how Trello uses feature flags to ship with velocity, confidence and manage deployment risks.
Come and learn about what feature flags are and how you can add them to your operational repertoire to safely roll out new features and changes. We'll explore patterns, tools, and techniques to integrate feature flags into your services as we walk through some real-life examples covering API migrations, testing in production and building customer trust by beta-testing.
Build With Heart and Balance, Remote Work Edition
What happens to work/life balance when your home is your workplace? Join Avi Knoll, a remote software engineer at Atlassian, as they discuss ways to keep balanced and grounded while working from home.
In a healthy office environment, it's easy to take a break for lunch. Take a break for coffee. Go home at the end of the day when your colleagues are gone, the lights are off, and your friends and family would like to see you.
When you work from home, lunch is in the kitchen, or a delivery order away. You've got a coffee machine. Nobody turns out the lights on you. Your family or housemates are nearby anyway!
Avi is very strict about work/life separation, not just balance. They'll run you through the risks of not disconnecting, and then discuss techniques you can use to ensure that even in the same room, you’ll have a clear line between “I'm at work” and “I'm on a break” or ”I'll be back tomorrow!”
How to Grow an Atlassian App Worthy of Top Vendor Status
Small Atlassian app vendors can struggle to make enterprise sales. How do you level the playing field, cross the chasm to enterprise sales, and make growth marketing a multiplier and core competency?
Join Chris Cooke, Old Street Solution’s Atlassian Marketplace Growth expert (and former Clearvision-ary & Adaptavist-an), for a discussion on why skepticism towards marketing and sales is natural, but unhealthy.
Attendees will learn growth marketing principles in a language that will resonate with developers, with actionable advice that has helped top vendors (such as Automation for Jira) rapidly grow in new territories.
We'll cover how you can implement data analysis, fast feedback loops, and use honest communication to resonate with your ideal audience to grow your customer base with your next great Atlassian App.
Atlassian App Vendors are perfectly positioned (and incentivized) to cross-pollinate their ideas into an area ready for change. You need Marketing & Sales but they need you too!
Monitoring As Code: How to Integrate App Monitoring Into Your Developer Cycle
Over the past decade, DevOps has empowered teams to break silos and create an environment of shared responsibility for delivering scalable applications.
At this breakout session, Remie Bolte, Marketplace Vendor and Cloud Solutions Architect, will explore how to break down one of the last silos still standing: application monitoring. You will learn about the history of monitoring and how it has evolved from basic systems monitoring to application performance monitoring. It will outline the common pitfalls of the most popular monitoring solutions and how these are antithetical to the DevOps movement.
To solve this, we'll introduce you to a new monitoring concept focused on developers: Monitoring as Code.
How to Market Your New App on the Atlassian Marketplace
Building your app is the first step to starting a new business, but now how do you make it grow? To make your app a success, you need to focus on marketing your app to customers. In this talk, Aileen Horgan, Head of Ecosystem and Cloud Editions Marketing at Atlassian, will cover resources available to new vendors and discuss go-to-market strategies that every Marketplace vendor should take advantage of.
Expand Your App's Global Potential With Internationalization
Is your app used by customers around the world? Are you keen to provide a delightful customer experience to all your customers? Internationalization is an essential part of software development that unlocks global potential and ensures your customers have a great experience regardless of their location. Join Melanie Heighway, Senior Product Localization Manager at Atlassian, and take a deep dive into the world of internationalization and learn how internationalization can be incorporated into your development process to ultimately delight all your customers globally.
Threat Modeling 101
Security is a large topic and so full of jargon that it can be hard to know where to get started when thinking about it. Threat Modeling gives you a framework to help you start building security policies.
In this talk, Dan Hardiker, CTO at Adaptavist, will cover what a security model is, when and why it's useful, what its main components are (assets, actors, and vectors), and how they interact. We'll build a basic threat model, enable you to apply these to your systems, and give you references for further learning.
Behind the Scenes of Vendor Security Reviews in the Enterprise
Different Atlassian Enterprise customers have varying security and compliance standards that they expect their cloud application vendors to meet. In this talk, Jana Geddis will walk you through the approaches Enterprise companies take to vendor security reviews. We will look at common threats, different Enterprise expectations, and the security requirements that vendors of all sizes can fulfill with minimal investment. You'll leave with knowing how to complete your next Enterprise security review!
Herding Microservices – the Atlassian Way
You know the story – your team needs to build a new integration for a new system and you decide, "A microservice would be perfect for this!" Before you know it, there are dozens of integrations and dozens of microservices spinning out of control.
In this session, Matej Konecny will walk you through his team's process for herding dozens of microservices at Atlassian. He'll share the processes they've put in place to manage and scale incident responses, make the service dependencies discoverable, and architect sustainable systems as they keep on building more integrations.

Over the past decade, DevOps has empowered teams to break silos and create an environment of shared responsibility for delivering scalable applications.
At this breakout session, Remie Bolte, Marketplace Vendor and Cloud Solutions Architect, will explore how to break down one of the last silos still standing: application monitoring. You will learn about the history of monitoring and how it has evolved from basic systems monitoring to application performance monitoring. It will outline the common pitfalls of the most popular monitoring solutions and how these are antithetical to the DevOps movement.
To solve this, we'll introduce you to a new monitoring concept focused on developers: Monitoring as Code.
How to Market Your New App on the Atlassian Marketplace
Building your app is the first step to starting a new business, but now how do you make it grow? To make your app a success, you need to focus on marketing your app to customers. In this talk, Aileen Horgan, Head of Ecosystem and Cloud Editions Marketing at Atlassian, will cover resources available to new vendors and discuss go-to-market strategies that every Marketplace vendor should take advantage of.
Expand Your App's Global Potential With Internationalization
Is your app used by customers around the world? Are you keen to provide a delightful customer experience to all your customers? Internationalization is an essential part of software development that unlocks global potential and ensures your customers have a great experience regardless of their location. Join Melanie Heighway, Senior Product Localization Manager at Atlassian, and take a deep dive into the world of internationalization and learn how internationalization can be incorporated into your development process to ultimately delight all your customers globally.
Threat Modeling 101
Security is a large topic and so full of jargon that it can be hard to know where to get started when thinking about it. Threat Modeling gives you a framework to help you start building security policies.
In this talk, Dan Hardiker, CTO at Adaptavist, will cover what a security model is, when and why it's useful, what its main components are (assets, actors, and vectors), and how they interact. We'll build a basic threat model, enable you to apply these to your systems, and give you references for further learning.
Behind the Scenes of Vendor Security Reviews in the Enterprise
Different Atlassian Enterprise customers have varying security and compliance standards that they expect their cloud application vendors to meet. In this talk, Jana Geddis will walk you through the approaches Enterprise companies take to vendor security reviews. We will look at common threats, different Enterprise expectations, and the security requirements that vendors of all sizes can fulfill with minimal investment. You'll leave with knowing how to complete your next Enterprise security review!
Herding Microservices – the Atlassian Way
You know the story – your team needs to build a new integration for a new system and you decide, "A microservice would be perfect for this!" Before you know it, there are dozens of integrations and dozens of microservices spinning out of control.
In this session, Matej Konecny will walk you through his team's process for herding dozens of microservices at Atlassian. He'll share the processes they've put in place to manage and scale incident responses, make the service dependencies discoverable, and architect sustainable systems as they keep on building more integrations.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical Futures
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
