Atlassian Q2 2022: Key Takeaways
On January 27th Atlassian released their earnings report for Q2 2022. Following on from announcement heavy quarters in Q4 2021 and Q1 2022, Atlassian didn’t try to invent the wheel this time around. Instead, Atlassian opted to take stock of past developments and, indeed as we can see from the key figures, reap the rewards of what they’ve sown.

New Apps in the 500 CLUB! – December 2021

2021 – The Tidal Wave Continues (A Retrospective)
2021 was Atlassian’s best year yet as soaring customer numbers and revenues sent its stock price through the roof. Atlassian stock started off 2021 at $243 and finished up at $383, an incredible 63% increase. This is compared to competitors like ServiceNow and Workday who saw less impressive increases of 14% and 15% respectively.
Appfire + Numbered Headings
Following their acquisition of Project Configurator for Jira in November 2021, Appfire has made another individual app purchase by bringing Numbered Headings into their significant app portfolio.
Numbered Headings is a very interesting app that allows Confluence users to easily number headings on their Confluence pages with numerous formatting options that make documented content simple and easy to organize.
Tempo + ALM Works
With their acquisition of ALM Works and its Structure suite of apps, Tempo has ended a year of major takeovers in the Atlassian ecosystem with one of the most significant of them all.
ALM Works are the makers of Structure – Project Management at Scale. Structure is one of the big two Planning applications on the Atlassian Marketplace (along with BigPicture). Structure is an incredibly popular product with 10,989 active installs while ALM Works’ more stripped back Structure.Gantt product has 4,779.
Tempo’s takeover of Roadmunk (an end-to-end roadmapping solution for building and communicating product strategy) in November gave us an indication that they were looking to make moves into the Planning space. However, this takeover has taken everyone by surprise. Although the acquisition is still fresh we think that this is great news, both for Tempo and ALM Works and for the wider Atlassian community.
Planning Poker®: MARS App of the Month (Dec 2021)
Planning Poker® by Lizard Brain is largest and fastest growing app in the thriving Planning Poker space. This subsection of the Planning category has grown by 26% over the past year and Planning Poker® has been leading the way with 38% growth over 2021 and 5% in just November.

Excellentable Spreadsheet for Confluence: MARS App of the Month (Nov 2021)
Excellentable by Addteq allows Confluence users to collaboratively create, edit, and share Excel style spreadsheets all from within Confluence. Rather than endlessly having to leave Confluence clicking on link after link as you try to find the spreadsheet file and version relevant to you, Excellentable users can easily view and edit their sheets right on the Confluence page itself. Since spreadsheet data is displayed on the page itself rather than in a link, users can also search for its content from Confluence itself.
