The current crop of Atlassian acquisitions, githubs, slacks, skypes, jiras, bitbuckets, fabrics, crashlytics, timecard services, began as the collabware boom of 2005. They're supposed to organize but these services seem to require a lot more attention & add a lot more complexity than before. What's really needed is an organizer for the organizer services. Perhaps it could give a sequential step by step workflow to do everything that every organizer needs, based on automatic prioritization & ease of the task. It could be an Atlassian serializer, taking all their acquired cloud services & presenting them one at a time. Step 1: merge a pull request. Step 2: update a jira ticket Step 3: send a build to fabric.
A recommendation engine for collabware services could do a better job than a human trying to pick which of the thousands of cloud services to catch up with next. The age old tasks of writing cold emails, merging source code, haven't gotten any easier either. They just got renamed to text messages & rebasing. They tried canned phrases, but they really need to compose the entire email.
