Atlassian Agile Project Management and DevOps
Jira, Confluence, Service Management, Bitbucket, Crowd/Access, and Bamboo
An Agile project management mindset can be hard to implement. We help organizations make the transition by leveraging Atlassian products to enable their success.
Our team configures Atlassian products in both Atlassian's cloud-hosted and self-hosted environments (either on-prem or in AWS) so that you're able to get the most out of your teams and investment. Our solutions are implemented with highly-available (HA) multi-node configurations, Identity and Access Management integrations (including 2-factor authentication), and run on multiple technology stacks (e.g. Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Linux, Windows). The environments are able to support hundreds of thousands of Jira issues and can include highly-customized analytics on your Jira data.
Our experience setting up and running Agile projects leveraging Jira have ranged from custom web applications to Salesforce CPQ implementations to Oracle ERP upgrades. We not only work on the technical configuration/implementation, but also collaboratively with clients to ensure the Jira environment is set up to maximize productivity, satisfaction, and management-level reporting while remaining scalable and easy to maintain.
If you need to get more disciplined and sophisticated in your documentation, leveraging Confluence can get you there. Along with configuring and training users to collaborate real-time in Confluence, we have built tight integrations with Jira and leveraged popular add-ons that help enhance the experience and turn it into a powerful analytics tool to understand user behaviors and increase adoption.
We set up Jira Service Management (formerly Service Desk) to support internal and external teams, clients, and partner communities. Our technical writers help you build content for How-To articles that integrate seamlessly with the Jira Service Management portal. Organizations need to integrate and manage processes that will help their people understand the translation of Jira Service Management requests into Jira issues and we can help.
M&S has aided organizations in implementing version control systems for many years, and working with Bitbucket enhances the experience by serving as a bridge from Agile project management to sophisticated DevOps orchestration.
We also integrate Bitbucket with Jira, so developers can track their Jira tickets up to date while committing code. In addition, project managers and team leads are also able to see development information right from Jira.
M&S Consulting fields a team of DevOps experts leveraging industry-leading CI/CD technologies in order to build robust, fully automated pipelines for building, testing, and deploying code changes. Atlassian Bamboo enables organizations to streamline their development processes while providing tight integrations with other industry-leading Atlassian offerings such as Atlassian Jira and Bitbucket to enable fast feedback on successes and failures in the pipeline.
M&S Consulting has deep expertise in Identity and Access Management across a wide range of industry-standard IAM products. M&S can help you streamline your authentication flows for your Atlassian software stack by leveraging Atlassian Crowd and Access alongside your company’s identity provider such as Microsoft Active Directory.
We help organizations by implementing both simple sign-on solutions as well as single sign-on (SSO) solutions to allow for seamless login to multiple on-prem Atlassian products with requiring a user to enter credentials multiple times if at all. We have also integrated identity solutions with biometrics and common access cards (CAC) for our clients.
