XALT has received the Atlassian Software Development Specialization. This officially confirms our competence to strategically and technically effectively support companies in the area of modern software development.

For us and our customers, this is more than just a partner badge. It is clear evidence that we not only support software development organisations in the implementation of Atlassian solutions, but also create real value: from better prioritisation to end-to-end transparency and higher developer productivity.

Why this specialisation matters

The Software Development Specialization recognises partners that demonstrably deliver value in Atlassian's World Class Software Development solution area. This includes, among other things, Jira Product Discovery, Compass, Bitbucket and, in the future, further solutions.

At its core, it is about bringing product strategy, technical implementation and operational delivery closer together. This is crucial, especially in cloud transformations or growing engineering organisations. Today, teams need more than a classic ticketing system. They need a platform that seamlessly integrates ideas, priorities, architecture, development and delivery.

This is exactly where Atlassian's DevEx platform comes in. It enhances the productivity of development teams, creates greater consistency across the entire engineering process and significantly extends the utility of the Atlassian platform beyond classic Jira use cases.

Typical building blocks include:

  • Jira Product Discovery for structured idea collection, prioritisation and portfolio transparency
  • Jira and Bitbucket for end-to-end delivery – from backlog to code to release
  • Compass for greater transparency over services, ownership and technical dependencies

In combination, this creates a platform where product strategy, architecture and delivery work together rather than side by side.

How XALT achieved the specialisation

The award is based on concrete customer successes in various industries.

We have supported companies in clinical research, industry, the public IT sector and e-commerce to successfully implement and scale Jira Product Discovery.

In doing so, we have, among other things:

  • Connected product strategy and delivery in a central system
  • Structured and digitised idea management and prioritisation
  • Jira Product Discovery integrated with Jira Software
  • Built scalable permission and governance models
  • Supported teams during rollout, onboarding, and sustainable use

This resulted in solutions that create transparency, improve decision-making, and make product organisations sustainably scalable.

What this means for you as a customer

The specialisation shows: We don't just understand Atlassian products. We also understand how modern software development organisations work.

For you, this specifically means:

  1. Better strategic steering
    We help you bring product ideas, market requirements, and delivery into a common process. This leads to clearer priorities and robust decisions.
  2. Greater impact for engineering teams
    With a well-set-up DevEx platform, you reduce friction. Development teams work more focused, information is available faster, and handovers become more efficient.
  3. Scalable processes instead of tool silos
    We create structures that grow with your company. This includes governance, permissions, integrations, and standardised workflows across teams.
  4. More transparency from discovery to delivery
    When product management, IT, architecture, and business look at the same data basis, the quality of collaboration increases. At the same time, progress becomes measurable and traceable.
  5. Higher ROI from your Atlassian investment
    The Atlassian platform only fully realises its value when it is used correctly in terms of domain and technology. This is exactly where we support you.

Conclusion

The Atlassian Software Development Specialization is an important milestone for us. For our customers, it is primarily a signal: XALT is a partner that does not view software development in isolation, but as an interplay of strategy, platform, processes, and people.

If you want to future-proof your product and development organisation, you need more than just a tool introduction. You need a setup that provides orientation, increases developer productivity, and supports growth.

This is exactly what we stand for at XALT.
