A few months ago, Atlassian acquired Code Barrel, the Sydney-based company behind the popular Automation for Jira low-code tool for — you guessed it — automating many aspects of Jira. Unsurprisingly, Atlassian then set out to integrate many of these features into the core Jira experience and today, the company is launching these new built-in automation features for all users of Jira Cloud.
“What’s really exciting about automation is that we’re bringing this no-code automation engine to all our customers. If you look at the industry, you know automation is typically seen as a premium feature — you have to pay a bit extra for it,” Matt Ryall, Atlassian’s head of product for Jira Software, told me.
