At Team '25 in Anaheim, Atlassian unveiled a host of new updates that expand the capabilities of both its core applications and the Atlassian platform itself.
In this post, we’ll take a closer look at what’s new with the Atlassian platform and the evolving app development ecosystem behind it.
What is Atlassian Platform?
The Atlassian platform is a unified set of cloud-based and on-premise tools and services designed to support collaborative work, especially for software development, IT service management, project and work management, and enterprise agility. It provides the foundation for Atlassian products like Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Trello to work together seamlessly.
Why Atlassian Platform?
The Atlassian platform is more than just a foundation — it’s a strategic advantage for organizations looking to unify their tools, teams, and data in one seamless ecosystem. Whether you're building software, managing IT services, or driving cross-functional business initiatives, the platform provides the scalability, extensibility, and security you need to work smarter and grow faster.
Here’s why teams of all sizes trust the Atlassian platform:

With the Atlassian platform, you get the power of connected tools, shared intelligence, and a robust ecosystem — all designed to accelerate how your teams plan, build, and deliver value.
Teamwork Graph: The Intelligent Core of the Atlassian Platform
At the heart of the Atlassian Platform is the Teamwork Graph — a dynamic data model that maps the relationships between people, work, and tools across your organization. It powers the platform’s intelligence layer, enabling smarter collaboration, automation, and insights across all Atlassian products.
By connecting structured and unstructured data from tools like Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket, as well as the Atlassian marketplace and third-party apps, the Teamwork Graph understands:
-
Who is working on what
-
How teams are connected
-
Where information lives
-
How work flows across products
This deep contextual awareness allows the Atlassian Platform to deliver:
Context-aware automation and AI through Atlassian Intelligence
Unified, relevant search results and recommendations
Seamless navigation and linking between tools and content
Improved reporting and analytics, grounded in actual team dynamics
The Teamwork Graph turns the Atlassian Platform into more than just a collection of tools—it makes it a connected system of work that evolves with your teams, delivering smarter experiences at every touchpoint. |
