Sydney, Australia and San Francisco, CA - December 16, 2009 – Atlassian, a global developer of popular agile tools for agile software development, announced today that they have become a corporate member of the Agile Alliance, an online community that supports the values and principals of the Agile Manifesto.

Participation in the Agile Alliance follows the launch of Atlassian’s agile developmentmicrosite, “Agile @ Atlassian.” The site features video interviews with several of Atlassian’s engineers and product managers as they discuss agile software development,pair programming, software testing, code review and more. Agile software development refers to a group of pragmatic software development methodologies based on iterative development. In agile development requirements and solutions evolve less through planning and more through frequent interactions between collaborative self-organizing cross-functional development teams and a customer. Unlike traditional approaches aimed at delivering a large application at the end of a long project, agile software development focuses on keeping code simple, testing often, and rapidly delivering working software to the customer, enabling the gathering of customer feedback at the earliest possible opportunity throughout the entire life of the project.
