How I Generated $66K in Pipeline Growth by Redesigning Atlassian's Enterprise Experience
Redesigned Jira’s Paid Product Tour hero to improve clarity and conversions. The new layout drove more top-of-funnel engagement, but revealed a key insight: clicks alone don’t guarantee signups.

Context
The Challenge
At Atlassian (the company behind Jira,
Confluence, and Trello), the enterprise
growth strategy depended on driving
awareness and adoption of their
integrated platform offering - a suite of
connected productivity tools for large
organizations.
Enterprise buyers were hitting
Atlassian's platform pages and
immediately bouncing at an 80% rate.
User research revealed they couldn't
understand what the platform was,
what problems it solved, or what value it
would bring to their organization.
"The one thing I am not seeing all though
is pricing on any of the pages... now got
to call them or reach out to them"
— Enterprise Buyer
Key Problem
Statement
With enterprise growth as a
key strategic priority and
platform adoption central
to that strategy, the high
bounce rate represented a
critical bottleneck to
achieving company-wide
objectives. The pages
weren't just failing to
convert - they were actively
confusing potential
customers and damaging
Atlassian's credibility in the
enterprise market.

Context
The Challenge
Atlassian invested heavily in paid ads to drive traffic to Jira’s Product Tour page, but conversions stayed low. The existing hero paired a static product screenshot with an embedded signup form—drawing clicks, but not commitment. Building on insights from our earlier interactive demo experiment, we tested whether reordering the layout and refining visuals could improve signup quality.

Why This Mattered
With enterprise growth as a key strategic priority and platform adoption central to that strategy, the high bounce rate represented a critical bottleneck to achieving company-wide objectives. The pages weren't just failing to convert - they were actively confusing potential customers and damaging Atlassian's credibility in the enterprise market.

How I Figured It Out
3. Hi-Fi Designs
Built new hero concepts using Atlassian’s design system, extending patterns for CTAs and visuals.
Expanded: Created design variants with different product imagery, button placements, and microcopy emphasis.
This experiment ran on a high-spend marketing funnel, so changes needed to be lightweight, reversible, and data-driven. With limited engineering bandwidth, the scope was constrained to redesigning the hero section using existing design patterns, while carefully monitoring conversion metrics to minimize risk.

Strategic Redesign
Critical Pain Points Identified
Pain Point #1:
What is platform?
Users couldn't quickly understand what platform is, what problem(s) it solves, or what it costs.
"The one thing I am not seeing, though, is pricing on any of the pages. Now, I have to call or reach out to them."
Pain Point #2:
Who uses platform
It took a lot of work for users to identify the goal of each page and who its for.
"Industry-specific content is critical. We have to understand how we can use the product."
Pain Point #3:
What do I do next?
Platform product experience didn't match the audience's expectations.
"This looks clickable, but it's not..."
The Complete Redesign
How Research Drove Design Decisions
Over 13 weeks, I led a cross-functional redesign of the platform, reshaping every part of the page experience. These three design decisions highlight how user research, in collaboration with PM, Engineering, and Creative, directly informed the strategic direction
Pain Point #1
What is platform?
Research Finding
Users couldn't quickly understand what platform is, what problem(s) it solves, or what it costs.
User Quote
"It’s not clear how this connects to my work.”
— Enterprise Buyer
Design Decision
I worked cross-functionally to replace jargon with clear visuals and interactive modules that clarified Atlassian’s value.
Before Redesign
The Problem:
•
Jargon-heavy, unclear value
•
Users wanted the visual shown earlier
•
Static diagram felt clickable but wasn’t
After Redesign
The Solution:
•
Made layers interactive with a product-first focus
•
Simplified choices to reduce user effort
•
Built a clear, scalable visual system
with creative
Pain Point #2
Who uses platform?
Research Finding
Users couldn't identify who the platform was for or find content relevant to their industry. They needed to see themselves in the product.
User Quote
“Without industry-specific content, product use is unclear.”
— Enterprise Buyer
Design Decision
Improved information architecture by persona/industry with PM, PMM, and Content to surface use cases.
Before Redesign
The Problem:
•
Generic messaging applied to all audiences
•
No industry-specific use cases or stories
•
Difficult to understand relevance to specific needs
After Redesign
The Solution:
•
Added "Solutions by industry" navigation
•
Buyer persona-based content segmentation
•
Industry-specific case studies and customer logos
Pain Point #3
What do I do next?
Research Finding
Users missed key CTAs—‘Contact Sales’ and signup weren’t visible when needed, confirmed by heatmaps and interviews.
User Quote
“I’m interested, but I don’t see how to get started or talk to someone.”
— Enterprise Buyer
Design Decision
Restructured CTAs to drive key actions, keeping ‘Contact Sales’ and signup visible at the right moments.”
Before Redesign
The Problem:
•
No clear primary call-to-action
•
Inconsistent button styling confused users
•
Important actions hidden in text links
After Redesign
The Solution:
•
CTAs made visible at key moments
•
Consistent, accessible interaction patterns
•
Clear hierarchy to guide next steps
