Atlassian’s Approach to Enterprise Strategy and Planning

Executive summary

Every technology leader gets urgent questions from CEOs, boards, shareholders, and customers. To answer them, they need to know:

  1. How do I drive alignment in the business?

  2. How do I provide visibility and transparency?

  3. How do I show what we’re doing, what we have delivered, and how it aligns to what’s important?

It sounds simple – but they are difficult to answer.

Read on for Atlassian’s point-of-view on the modern disciplines of strategy and planning. We see them as a single function we call enterprise strategy and planning (ESP).
