BBQ & DevOps: How Atlassian helps teams both ship and support great software

Two weeks after Devopsdays Minneapolis, and two days before the Minnesota State Fair, let's Get-Together and explore Atlassian's Open DevOps solutions with an overview of products that enable developers and support IT Ops teams.

We all know and love Jira as the hub for planning and tracking! At this very special in-person Atlassian Community Event, Appfire's Ed Gaile will introduce Atlassian's developer experience tool, Compass, and demo how Compass works with IT Operations incident and problem management in Jira Service Management. You'll walk away from this event with ideas on how you can add to, or improve, your Atlassian tooling to close the SDLC loop.
PLUS: We'll be doing a raffle for not one—not two—but FIVE free Atlassian certifications for attendees of this event! (You can learn more about certifications on the Atlassian University.)
