For smaller teams & organizations (up to 25 JIRA users as a reference), OAT has a JumpStart Package comprising everything necessary to get tools like JIRA, Confluence and Bamboo up and running.

For larger organizations, or companies facing deeper transformations where a broader view on Tools, Techniques and Processes is necessary, OAT Solutions has developed an Assessment that allows for a holistic understanding of the current status of the organization/department.

Based on a defined scope, the Assessment results are used as inputs towards an Action Plan which, when executed, guides the configuration, adoption and use of the Atlassian Tools in conjunction with software engineering and project management best practices.

And if/where there is an 'intermediary' scenario (usually comprising customers that already use Atlassian tools but want to ensure/review/expand their current use), OAT Solutions provides a set of activities aimed at Tools fine tuning, optimizing workflows configuration, screens/fields, schemas and general improvments.

Some of the common themes include – but are not limited to:

• Application Server Configuration

• JIRA Database Configuration

• Atlassian Tools Architecture Overview

• Security Concerns & Best Practices on Access Control

• Exploring Tools' Concepts

• Managing the JIRA Environment

• Email settings and resources

• Backup, Restore and Upgrade procedures and tips

• Workflows - planning, creating and operating custom-defined workflows

• Searching and Reporting Overview and Examples

• Integrations, Other Atlassian Tools and popular/useful addons

Planned Effort depends on Scope definition between the Customer and OAT Solutions, but usually there are activities to be performed by an Atlassian Specialist Engineer (Senior professional) and activities to be performed by one or more Support Engineers, either on-site or remotely.

OAT Assessment on Tools, Processes, People, Practices and Techniques

OAT Solutions has developed a holistic assessment approach that comprises Tools, Processes, People, Best Practices and Techniques, gaining understanding on the current status, maturity and motivation, as well as risks and impediments surrounding the team.

The assessment is conducted by an independent consultant, using different techniques such as interviews, observation and data collection and allows the establishment of a Baseline for process improvement and Organizational Transformation.

Based on a defined scope, the Assessment results are used as inputs towards an Action Plan which, when executed, guides the configuration, adoption and use of the Atlassian Tools in conjunction with software engineering and project management best practices that empower the team towards producing better software, delivering earlier and more consistently as a habit.
