Atlassian Updates - Projects to Spaces, Goals in Analytics, Schema Data Manager, Trello Shortcuts

Let us go through updates from the @atlassian ecosystem #ProjectsToSpaces #GoalsAnalytics #SchemaDataManager #TrelloShortcuts

More on the move from Jira ‘Projects’ to ‘Spaces’

Atlassian is updating Jira’s terminology by replacing ‘Projects’ with ‘Spaces’ across all Jira Cloud products, including Jira Service Management and Jira Product Discovery. This change is only in naming—functionality remains the same. The rollout starts September 1, 2025 for Free and Standard plans, October 20 for Premium and Enterprise, with full rollout by November 10, and Release Tracks by December 9, 2025.

Goals and Projects data available on Atlassian Analytics

Goals and Atlassian Projects data are now available in the Analytics app, giving you better visibility into organizational progress by connecting goals, projects, work items, teams, and contributors. The new schema includes three categories—Goals, Projects, and Relationships across apps—helping you track goal statuses, project milestones, and related Jira work.

Assets Data Manager updates with the release of Schema Data Manager Import!

Atlassian has upgraded Assets Data Manager with the new Schema Data Manager Import, enabling seamless import of data into schemas by creating new ones or updating existing ones with custom mappings. This enhancement, following the integration of Airtrack into Jira Service Management Assets, ensures accurate, reliable asset data for smarter decisions, with full rollout by August 31, 2025.

Blog(s) of the week :

In 2024, I shared my thoughts on whether Jira professionals should invest their time in learning Jira Data Center and ScriptRunner for Jira. Back then, my advice was influenced by Atlassian’s strong push toward Jira Cloud, which they’ve clearly stated is their long-term focus.

But as of mid-2025, the situation has evolved — and so has my advice.
