For large companies juggling multiple teams, competing priorities, and unpredictable markets, even the best-laid strategies can fall flat. Why? Because they’re trying to run an enterprise with spreadsheets and gut instincts. Without the right tools to make the right decisions, bridging the gap between planning and execution feels more like wishful thinking. 

That’s where Atlassian’s new Strategy Collection comes in. Designed specifically for enterprise leaders, this suite of tools bridges the gaps between planning, execution, and outcomes. The Strategy Collection equips businesses with the clarity, alignment, and agility they need to turn big ideas into big wins.

If you’ve been facing roadblocks like misaligned teams, fragmented workflows, and slow decision-making, read on. We break down how Atlassian’s Strategy Collection can close these gaps and pave the way for smooth, strategic execution.

Why Enterprise Strategies Fail

Even the most brilliant strategies often fall apart, not because they’re bad ideas, but because of how they’re executed. Here are the most common hurdles enterprises face:

  • Limited visibility: Leaders are flying blind because they can’t get a clear or real-time view of progress, dependencies, or outcomes. 
  • Poor alignment: Teams end up unintentionally working against each other because goals and priorities aren’t fully communicated or connected.
  • Slow decision-making: Without connected insights and data, leaders are left playing a guessing game when it comes to important business decisions.

This results in missed opportunities, wasted resources, and a lot of frustration for everyone involved. Atlassian recognized these pain points and built the Strategy Collection to tackle them head-on.

What Is Atlassian’s Strategy Collection?

The Strategy Collection is a suite of tools designed to unify enterprise strategy planning, workforce alignment, and execution management. By bringing everything into one centralized hub, it eliminates the silos and miscommunications that cost organizations millions. Here are the tools included in the Strategy Collection:

  1. Focus
    Focus is a strategy planning tool that helps companies model and adjust enterprise-wide goals in real time. It uses AI-powered insights to refine decisions and keep your strategies adaptable.
  2. Talent (coming soon!)
    Workforce planning is about to get easier. With Talent, you understand your team’s current capacity and hiring needs so you can allocate resources effectively. No more guesswork about whether you’re adequately staffed for success.
  3. Jira Align
    Jira Align is the app in the Strategy Collection that crushes work execution management. Track priorities, dependencies, and outcomes so that teams work in harmony. To sweeten the deal, Enterprise Insights is no longer licensed separately from Jira Align. This means your organization can enjoy access to the Jira Align data mart without any extra costs. 

(Side note: We recommend reading this article to understand the key differences between Focus and Jira Align.)

When these tools work together, enterprises finally have the visibility and agility to close the gaps between ideas and business outcomes.

Key Features of Atlassian’s Strategy Collection

Turn Your Vision Into Action with Focus

Strategic goals often start inspiring but end up getting stalled because of poor execution. That’s exactly where Focus steps in. This tool ensures everyone—from leadership to individual contributors—is rowing in the same direction.

For instance, your leadership team launches a bold sustainability initiative. It sounds great on paper, but as it trickles through the organization, you realize there’s confusion about budgets, timelines, and which teams are responsible for what.

With Focus, that’s no longer an issue. You can map out the initiative to the necessary resources, funding, and teams. If changes are needed, they’re applied across the board in real time. Focus provides a clear picture that you can adjust as needed, and everyone knows exactly how their piece of the puzzle fits into the bigger picture.

Eliminate Bottlenecks with Talent

Have you ever had a project come to a halt because the right skills weren’t available when you needed them? Maybe a product launch is delayed because you’re missing a senior back-end developer, or a sales team just doesn’t have enough manpower to keep up with demand. These bottlenecks can be costly and frustrating.

Talent, Atlassian’s workforce planning tool, solves these problems. Set to launch soon, Talent connects workforce capabilities to enterprise strategy, providing predictive insights to identify gaps before they hold you back.

For instance, imagine you’re expanding your customer support team to handle growing demand in Europe. Talent analyzes your current team’s capacity and flags that an influx of support tickets will exceed staffing levels within three months. Instead of scrambling to recruit at the last minute, you can hire proactively, avoiding missed SLAs or overworked employees.

Streamline Teamwork with Jira Align

The bigger the organization, the harder it is to keep everyone on the same page. With multiple departments tackling projects simultaneously, miscommunication and duplication can quickly derail progress. That’s why Jira Align is so crucial.

Take the example of a global enterprise launching three new products across different regions. Sales teams in North America bump up against marketing delays in Asia, and IT feels out of the loop about launch timing. This scenario is a recipe for a rocky product launch, yet it happens all the time. 

But with Jira Align, organizations can track all these dependencies and priorities in one cohesive system. Teams can see how their work impacts others, synchronize their efforts, and avoid stepping on toes. Progress is updated in real time, so there’s no ambiguity about where things stand. Teams know exactly what’s happening and why.

There’s no shortage of business tools out there. But Atlassian’s Strategy Collection stands out for a few key reasons:
