One large task that the Agile Coaches work on at a company level includes recruiting and external (corporate) marketing. We are convinced that our //SEIBERT/MEDIA employees are our most valuable resource, and therefore the recruitment of new staff is particularly important.
With the introduction of Atlassian Cloud, Atlassian’s privacy policy received an overhaul. Most of the big changes refer to the data collected by Atlassian Analytics, more specifically in their SaaS (Cloud) products. But some of the changes also affect server versions of Atlassian products.
