1. Introduction

Atlassian has introduced Focus, a new enterprise strategy and planning solution aimed at helping leaders assess team progress towards the right goals. This solution aims to address challenges such as scattered information and unaligned work and funds, providing a centralized hub to track priorities and keep teams aligned.

With Focus, Atlassian aims to provide a solution that connects strategic priorities to goals, work, teams, and funds, offering a clear view of progress and enabling quick decision-making.

3. Features of Focus

  • Central Hub for Priorities: Leaders can track goals, work, teams, and funds in one place, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities.
  • Qualitative Updates: Focus areas provide qualitative updates from teammates to understand progress and identify blockers.
  • Enterprise OKR Goal-Tracking: Flexible approach to OKR framework adoption across Atlassian products, creating a single source of truth for all teams and leaders.

4. Our Mission: Unleashing Enterprise Strategy

Atlassian is committed to enhancing enterprise strategy and planning with Focus, providing leaders with insights into goal progression, planned work, team deployment, and more. The company aims to deepen its capabilities in this area to help track all work, talent planning, budgeting, and ensuring priorities are adequately funded.
