[Jira Align], [Strategy Collection], [Team25 Barcelona]
It’s been five months since Team '25 in Anaheim, where Atlassian introduced the Strategy Collection — a new way to bring strategy, talent, and execution together. Since then, Atlassian has been busy refining and expanding its capabilities.
The Strategy Collection now helps organizations connect strategic planning with people and budget through three key products: Focus, Talent, and Align. These updates make it easier to transform high-level goals into measurable outcomes, track investments, and reallocate talent as priorities shift.
Strategic Planning with Focus
The Focus App transforms static PowerPoint decks into living, trackable plans, making strategic planning more dynamic and actionable. Instead of sharing slides that quickly become outdated, teams can collaborate in one place and continuously update priorities.
Key Features:
-
Living Plans: Turn static strategy presentations into interactive plans that evolve as work progresses.
-
Custom Hierarchies: Organize initiatives in a way that fits your organization’s structure.
-
Strategic Adjustments: Monitor priorities in real time and adjust as company goals evolve.
Focus helps organizations bridge the gap between strategy and execution, ensuring plans are actionable and visible across all teams.
Funds View: Connect Investments to Strategy
The Funds View provides organizations with a clear picture of how resources are allocated and how spending aligns with their priorities. It helps leaders link budgets to strategic initiatives and monitor progress at a glance.
Key Features:
-
Track Spending vs. Budget: See how funds are being used across initiatives and adjust allocations as needed.
-
Detailed Drill-Downs: Analyze investments by category, labor, or business area to gain deeper insights.
-
Integrated with Focus and Talent: Connect financials with strategy and workforce planning to ensure alignment across the organization.
Funds View makes it easier to manage investments, track progress, and ensure resources support strategic goals.
Talent
The Talent App gives leaders a real-time view of their workforce and how it aligns with company priorities. Instead of relying solely on org charts, teams can see who is working on what and make smarter staffing decisions.
Key Features:
-
Workforce Overview: Visualize roles, tenure, location, and time zones across focus areas.
-
Open vs. Filled Positions: Identify staffing gaps and understand where talent can be reallocated.
-
People-to-Work Mapping: Connect individuals to the actual tasks and projects they are contributing to, ensuring resources are optimally assigned.
Talent helps organizations align people with strategy, enabling more agile planning and effective execution.
Integration: Connecting Strategy to Execution
The Strategy Collection links strategy, people, and execution by connecting Focus, Talent, and Align into a single, unified workflow.
-
End-to-End Alignment: Ensure priorities, resources, and initiatives are all connected.
-
Accessible for Jira Align Users: Focus and Talent are available at no additional cost for existing Jira Align customers.
This integration helps organizations turn strategic plans into actionable outcomes.
