Atlassian launches Compass to untangle software sprawl for developers
Summary
There are also scattered software tools and components, microservices, application programming interfaces, frameworks and increasingly distributed teams that have led to amplified complexity. And getting back to into the flow state and being creative is difficult.” That’s the idea behind Compass, to provide a broad view of an entire company’s portfolio of components and their current health. With an additional dashboard, engineering and DevOps teams can quickly get a look at the operational health of deployments and development processes with both default and custom scorecards to keep themselves on track. Teams can personalize their health metrics as well in a dashboard in order to help give them a head’s up across their entire organization or use them to drill down into places that might be causing them pain points. Atlassian also made Compass extensible, which means that it can connect across a company’s entire toolchain and link into numerous different apps so that developers don’t need to switch between them.
