Original research

We publish our own data.

Four pieces of original work, kept public and kept current. We publish them because an argument is more persuasive when the evidence behind it is checkable — including the parts that cut against us.

Why we publish it

Because checkable beats confident.

Every consultancy claims its clients ship better software. Almost none of them publish anything you could use to check the claim, or anything you could use at all without hiring them.

So the two recall datasets are free, machine-readable where we can manage it, and published with their limitations attached — including the ones that weaken the argument we would rather make. The Atlassian research labels every source by who paid for it, and includes the study that contradicts the headline.

That is not generosity. It is the only version of this that is worth reading.

The case studies, with the numbers

Two hours to find out whether we recognise your problem.

No deck, no obligation. We listen, we tell you whether we have seen this before, and we say what we think it would take. If a Jump Start is the right next step we will say so — and if it is not, we will say that too.
