Use Atlassian's end-to-end design language to create straightforward and beautiful experiences.
Looking forward to this launch to unifying the brand and products more, and seeing some great UX/UI improvements to JIRA especially! (desktop site)
Pros:Well thought out, expansive, flexible and powerful. And best of all, finally LOOKS wonderful
Cons:Can be overly complex, but that's their constant challenge
They did a pretty bad job.
Personally, I love changes, but that is a really really bad one...
Pros:looks great
Cons:lost every good thing they had
It's fair to say that a lot of designers have a dislike (or probably a fear!) of going anywhere near tools like Jira or Confluence - while everyone else in a product team will be using them.
But as an organisation it's clear that Atlassian have recognised this, and are making steps in the right direction to create better designed products. Their software is super complex so it will be a difficult task to simplify and redesign the UI across the board, but when they get there I think they might just earn some credibility with designers along the way.
Pros:It's great to see that a company like Atlassian are starting to see the importance of design and making steps in the right direction.
Cons:It would have been nice to see more reference to 'jobs to be done' rather than personas, which feel a bit stuffy.
I'm so curious to wait for the new Jira's design interface
Pros:I like the new logotype and the new image that you are creating. It's fresh, modern, clear.
Cons:It's a strong change that can cause some upset people.
