Atlas allows you to follow projects, goals, topics (tags), and teams so you can ensure stakeholders get all of the signal and none of the noise. This increases the likelihood that anyone can always answer, "how's it going?", for the projects and goals they care about most.
How to follow the projects and goals you care about
Auto-following
If you are the owner of a project or goal, or contributor to a project, you are automatically added as a follower.
Follow individual projects and goals
You can follow individual projects and goals from the right sidebar of any project or goal's homepage.
Follow every project and goal with a specific tag (topic)
When you click on a tag in the right sidebar of a project or goal's homepage you'll be taken to your Home where you'll be given the option to follow the tag.
Following a tag gives you a dedicated feed for all the updates of any project or goal that has that tag – now and in the future. It's a great way to stay across all the work that's happening across a department or program of work. Here's a quick demo of how it works:
💡 Embed a live list of projects with a tag in Confluence pages & Jira issues
Follow all projects and goals a team is working on
Particularly useful for managers and leaders, you can also follow all the projects and goals a team is contributing to. From a team's profile, just click follow in the Projects and goals section and you automatically be added as a follower of all their projects and goals – now and in the future.
Following a team gives you a dedicated feed for all the updates of any project or goal the team is contributing to – now and in the future – under your Home in Atlas.
What happens when you are a follower?
Every Monday, you’ll see a personalized digest of updates on the projects and goals you’ve chosen to follow from feed in Atlas under Home. Note that projects in Atlas are updated weekly. Goals are updated monthly.
In addition to your feed under Home in Atlas, on Monday morning you’ll get a personalized digest of updates delivered directly to email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. The personalised digest of projects you follow is sent weekly. Your goals digest is sent monthly.
Ensure all stakeholders are kept in the loop with Slack
