Atlassian Updates - Teams with sites, Bitbucket Workspace, Rovo prompt, Outlook and Trello

Time to go through some of the recent updates from the @atlassian ecosystem #Teamswithsites, #BitbucketWorkspace, #Rovoprompt, #OutlookTrello

Upcoming changes to visibility of Atlassian Teams in organizations with original user management

As of July 15, 2025, Atlassian updated the visibility settings for Teams in organizations using original user management. Now, Teams are only visible within the site where they were created, matching the existing group visibility rules. This change ensures better consistency and control, especially for organizations with multiple sites or sandbox environments. Organizations meeting specific criteria can still opt into this setup if not already migrated.

Calling on all workspace Admins - Connect your Bitbucket workspace to an Atlassian organization

Bitbucket Cloud is integrating more closely with the Atlassian platform for unified user management, billing, and AI features. If you're an admin of a paid workspace, link it to an Atlassian organization by September 2, 2025, via admin.atlassian.com. This action is permanent and essential for future benefits. Only eligible workspaces will appear for linking; others will be notified once ready.

Blog(s) of the week:

This blog post discusses configuration management in Jira. Jira, as a tool, was never fundamentally designed to support the seamless movement of configurations from one environment to another. This is a common misconception, but unfortunately, it's not truly the case in practice.

Video(s) of the week:

Many teams misuse Jira by turning it into a data repository rather than a workflow tool. Jira is designed for tracking tasks and facilitating collaboration, not for storing large static datasets.
