We have an amazing community of developers that have built nearly 2,000 add-ons you can find in the Atlassian Marketplace. Once a year these developers get together for a global add-on hackathon called Codegeist.
Codegeist 2015 was one of the most successful Atlassian hackathons ever. We received 140+ submissions – a 50% improvement over the previous competition. We’ve seen a huge demand for cloud based add-ons, so this year we had several prizes just for cloud add-ons.
The competition wrapped up last week, and now we’re thrilled to announce this year’s Codegeist winners.

Scrum Poker – Mobile Agile Management
Designed to improve the accuracy and speed of the estimation process. Developers simply submit their vote using the mobile app and the Scrum Master confirms or re-estimates until the story point estimation is agreed. The final result is then automatically inserted into the Jira Agile board.
