Atlassian Talent is now generally available as part of our Strategy Collection
Previously announced in early access at Team ’25, Atlassian Talent is a knowledge workforce planning app built for leaders who need to align their people with their most important priorities.
Talent planning today…is messy. It’s fragmented, outdated, and especially painful in technology-driven companies where priorities shift fast. Most enterprises don’t know where their people are in relation to their top priorities because traditional workforce planning tools weren’t built for how tech companies work. Leaders have to be able to move their knowledge workers – engineers, designers, marketers – across teams and focus areas on the fly.
Say a company needs to shift more resources to work on AI – who is available? Where do they come from? What are they working on? What happens to their other work and those investments? Traditional workforce planning tools don’t give leaders those insights. They can tell them about their talent, but they can’t tell them about their talent in relation to their strategy.
That’s a problem because people are a company’s most important asset, so we built Talent to give leaders a dynamic, intelligent approach. Talent helps leaders cut through the complexity, giving instant visibility to design the workforce they need and make confident decisions faster.
Talent Makes People A Competitive Advantage
Simply put, Talent makes people a company’s greatest competitive advantage. It allows leaders to:
Plan and design their workforce: Talent allows leaders to zoom out to assess the composition of their workforce so they can design it for current and future needs. At a glance, leaders can see if teams have the right position type ratios, skills, and geographic distribution.
Map talent to strategy: If leaders want to dive a level deeper, they can toggle between views to see all positions, positions by reporting line, or positions by focus areas. The last view is perhaps the most exciting. Once leaders establish focus areas in Atlassian Focus, also part of the Strategy Collection, Talent will show them who is supporting each strategic initiative. This means they can rest assured the right people are working on the most important work.
Make confident decisions faster: Talent makes it easier for leaders to see what projects are at risk and implement a solution with confidence. The app surfaces actionable insights about positions and how they do (or don’t) map to strategic priorities. If a project requires a specific skill set, leaders can search for individuals who match that profile and then reallocate them in a few clicks.
Shape Your Workforce for Strategic Success
We built Talent not just for our customers, but for ourselves too. We use Talent every time we shift focus, double down, or reallocate teams.
Over the past few years, Atlassian has grown rapidly in both employee size and our app portfolio. As we scaled, we got tired of how difficult and cumbersome it was to strategically allocate our knowledge workforce to strategic priorities. Talent has completely transformed how we approach our planning process.
As a large enterprise, we need to balance the speed of delivering valuable and innovative AI products to our customers with assessing the ROI of each project and ensuring each team is getting the right resources. Today, engineering leadership uses Talent to make informed decisions on where to ramp up our AI investments in real-time without losing speed.”
