Jira Rice

Atlassian tackles the backlog, Epic launches Postparty, CoinTracker gets into professional services

Happy Monday! AI hype has officially reached dotcom and peak crypto levels. Today's equivalent of adding ".com" to your name or announcing a web3 foray is to launch your own ChatGPT style bot. If you're Baidu, I guess that's worth a 12% bump in market cap.

Highlight of the day

Atlassian launches Jira Product Discovery in open beta. The new product makes it easy to capture ideas and feedback through a browser extension, and subsequently collaborate with stakeholders and prioritize backlog through frameworks such as RICE. JIRA customers get free access until March 2024.
