I want to build technology that helps with the future of the world.
I want to make a difference in how people work with each other.
I want to see Atlassian products used by teams to do amazing things.
I fundamentally believe that the best companies work on missions
which are way bigger then the company themselves.
When you look at Atlassian's mission 'to unleash the potential of every team',
this mission will be around tomorrow, in 10 years time, in 50 years time,
and even 100 years time. We will basically never be done with it.
The great thing about our mission is it's about people.
It's not about technology, and it's not about the business model.
But it's about people and the amazing things they do when they work together.
And that mission about people, that's not going to change.
Historically, Atlassian has focused on unleashing the potential of software teams.
But as we expand, as we look into the future,
we want to focus on unleashing potential for all teams.
Our products are trying to improve human collaboration.
That means we have this very interesting and challenging problem
of trying to understand and build for humans.
That is not really common in other SAS products.
Looking into the future,
I think we have two big challenges.
The first one is around reaching super large teams.
And the second one is around predicting what our user
wants to do next, and to be able to provide them
the intelligent tools to support that next action.
Atlassian is scaling very rapidly, and the tough challenge
for us is going to be how do we innovate in the future?
Because innovation for a small group of users is easy,
but continuous innovation over a massive user base,
that's tough.
But it's an exciting problem to have.
At Atlassian, We believe the cloud is our future.
We have millions of users using Atlassian products already,
and we are growing at a rapid pace.
One of the key engineering problems for us is how we keep innovating at that scale
while building a cloud architecture that keeps up with that rate of growth.
We have a broad product portfolio for the company size we are.
This means you have to thrive on constantly learning.
Learning often means change. Being comfortable with this change
is a big part of working at Atlassian.
At Atlassian, our engineers are always encouraged to solve customer problems
and this definitely the foundation of Atlassian RND.
Every single person who works at Atlassian is painting its future.
The best engineers I've worked with, especially those at Atlassian,
are the ones that think about the customer
impact of what they're building and not just how they're building it.
The Atlassian products are used by a huge number of teams all over the world.
And those teams are themselves touching a lot of end users.
So the compounding effect of that is a massive impact in the world.
Lots of individuals run their lives on Trello.
Lots of people run their work lives on JIRA.
For an engineer to be able to impact something that is so core to people's day
to day lives is a really rare opportunity in the software industry.
The future of Atlassian is bringing together the benefits of constantly
moving technology with the creativity and innovation of humans.
It wasn't an individual who sent a man to the moon, and it wasn't an individual
that eradicated poverty for 4 and a half million children in India.
It's always been a team.
And teams will always achieve more than an individual.
