A word from TvA
Welcome to our May Jira Platform Design Newsletter! We're proud to share some key B50 projects, supporting the Jira Family products to meet Cloud revenue goals and removing key migration blockers for our largest customers. We've also done a deep dive into the side panel to level up our visual design, creating a pattern for what "best" would look like. And lastly, we're learning to use AI in our day-to-day work and bringing it to our Jira customers.
We've switched up the format this round for a more visual walkthrough of our work, so let us know what you think! Big thanks to Mauricio for driving this.
Happy readying y'all!
