Atlassian + Trello: changing the way teams work，Atlassian4.25亿美金收购Trello！
本次交易绝大多数以现金(3.6亿美元)交易,剩余的用以支付限制的股票和期权。此次收购预计将在2017年3月31日之前完成。
When we founded Atlassian 15 years ago, it seemed obvious to us that software could help teams work better together. But in those days most software companies were focused on developing for personal productivity. We felt that using tools designed for individuals to accomplish teamwork is a bit like using scissors to mow your lawn. You can do it, but it’s a lot harder than it needs to be. That’s why we focused on building for teams from day one.
Fast forward to today and there are still surprisingly few companies building software for teams. One company that has had breakout success is Trello. Over the past five years, Trello has grown to over 19 million registered users by solving an important problem: capturing and adding structure to fluid, fast-forming work.
Trello’s pioneering use of an intuitive visual system has been embraced by all kinds of teams to do everything from managing marketing campaigns to tracking action items from team meetings. Organizations in nearly every country and as varied as the Red Cross and Google have adopted Trello to get work done.
Today, I am thrilled to announce that we have entered into an agreement to acquire Trello and add their amazing product to our growing family.
Choosing the right tool for your team
Atlassian’s mission is to unleash the potential in every team. That’s a big mission. In Trello we found a group that is as dedicated to helping teams get stuff done as we are. In fact, we have identical milestones towards achieving our missions: for our tools to be used by 100M people.
Atlassian tools are built to help all teams organize, discuss and complete their work. By adding Trello to the Atlassian family, we’re giving teams more choice in the tools they use to support the way that they want to work.
Trello will become an important part of the Atlassian portfolio, offering a fun new way for teams to organize the often messy range of information that feeds into great teamwork. Its card system is intuitive, easy to use, and instantly familiar, which has made it extremely popular with teams across marketing, legal, HR, sales and beyond.
One of Trello’s strengths is its flexibility. You control how the board looks and operates so you can mold it to how your team works, and track progress in stages that reflect your processes. You can take this flexibility a step further by integrating the tools you already use with Trello as Power-Ups that extend the functionality of the boards to meet your team’s unique needs.
The JIRA family of products will continue providing purpose-built experiences such as JIRA Software, the #1 tool for agile software teams; JIRA Service desk, a beautifully simple service desk solution for IT and business teams; and JIRA Core for project and process management.
JIRA tools excel at work that benefits from a well-defined, traceable, and repeatable process, whilst Confluence is great for teams creating and collaborating on documents and rich content. Trello perfectly fills a gap between the structured workflows of JIRA and the free-form collaboration of Confluence and will give teams the option to find the right Atlassian tool for the type of work they need to complete. Keep an eye out for integrations between these products in the near future.
What happens now
We’re thrilled to welcome the talented Trello team to Atlassian and look forward to working with them to change the way teams work together. Deep investments in R&D have long been a cornerstone of Atlassian’s business and we will continue that tradition with Trello.
If you currently use Trello as either a free or paid user, you can rest assured that we will continue to offer Trello as a standalone service. We’ll be working with their product team to help them accelerate development efforts. If you are an Atlassian user, I encourage you to set up an account on Trello and check out how it might work for your team.
Teams have always been the critical element of successful organizations. We’re excited about the opportunities that lie ahead in unleashing the potential of every team.
GOOGLE 的HRVP Laszlo Bock 离职创业了！《重新定义团队：谷歌如何工作》的作者
《重新定义团队：谷歌如何工作》一书作者、前谷歌人力运营部高级副总裁、谷歌高级顾问Laszlo Bock先生在2017年元旦正式宣布离职创业。
在BOCK先生任职谷歌（2006-2016年） 担任人力运营部负责人的shi年期间，谷歌的员工数从6000增长到近5万，在全球四十多个国家设立了七十多个分支机构。他帮助谷歌创建了人力运营部，并创建了谷歌（也许是世界上）第一个人才数据分析团队。他撰写的《重新定义团队：谷歌如何工作》一书是用人才数据说话的典范，并揭示了改变未来的工作法则。该书曾获《纽约时报》畅销榜第一名，并在国内HR界引起“重新定义”热潮。他本人曾于2014年被《Human Resource Executive Magazine》评为 十 年内对HR行业影响最深远的 十 人之一。
以下是Bock先生刚刚在LinkedIn上发布的信息：
Today I wrap up over a decade at Google. It's been an honor to be a part of the company's story, and a joy to learn so much from so many Googlers. Even more, it was a privilege to build People Operations along with so many exceptional friends and -- together -- to create the first People Analytics team. As for what's next .... (see Google HR chief Laszlo Bock leaving to launch startup By Ethan Baron / December 13, 2016 at SiliconBeat) And with that, here's to an amazing 2017, for all of you and your loved ones!
Google HR chief Laszlo Bock leaving to launch startup
If an HR manager can be called legendary, it would be Laszlo Bock, the man behind the company culture at Google for the past decade, and a driving force behind the firm’s data-driven hiring and famed free-food cafeterias.
Now, Bock is leaving his post as senior vice president of “people operations” to launch a startup. The enterprise will be in “stealth mode” for a while, Bock said in an email to friends and associates. Bock gave a brief description of the startup.
“It hinges on a few ideas: that every job can have meaning, that if you give people freedom they will amaze you, that applied science (which I dubbed ‘people analytics’ a decade back) can illuminate the truth about what really makes people happy and productive, and that it doesn’t take a ton of effort or investment to make things better … but that you can make work better, everywhere,” Bock said in the email.
Replacing Bock as head of human resources at Google will be Eileen Naughton, who had been the vice president of sales and operations for Google in the U.K. and Ireland, Fortune reported.
Sources told Fortune that Naughton was one of the highest-rated Google managers among employees, and that she was a founding member of internal group Women@Google.
According to Fortune, Bock will retain an advisory role at Google. However, in his email he signed himself off as a “soon-to-be-former” senior adviser at Google and its parent company Alphabet, which would appear to mean he won’t be advising or he’ll be doing so in a more informal capacity.
Bock transformed hiring at Google from a “clunky, arduous process that relied on gimmicks like math puzzles on billboards” to a “smooth engine,” according to online magazine Quartz.
“He helped usher in employee-friendly policies like free meals and shuttle buses, and introduced take-your-parents-to-work days,” the article said.
Bock oversaw data-driven hiring practices at Google that “led it to disregard college prestige in job applications, to dramatically change its pay policies, and even change the way it presents food in its cafeterias,” according to a profile in Quartz last year.
Before arriving at Google in 2006, Bock, who has an MBA from Yale was a vice president of HR at General Electric, and before that, a management consultant at McKinsey & Co.
He is the author of “WORK RULES! Insights from Inside Google to Transform How You Live and Lead.”
