Atlassian Keynote: AI won’t save your productivity – human–AI collaboration will
Most AI initiatives don’t fail dramatically—they fade away. Teams try AI features a few times, then abandon them. Others get used daily but don’t improve performance (or even add work). Only a minority see real efficiency gains—so “using AI” isn’t the same as “getting value.” This talk focuses on what most AI stories skip: helping people use Atlassian AI technology Rovo in day-to-day work—and proving it makes a difference. I’ll share Atlassian’s lessons from adopting Rovo, the real challenges (not just cool demos), and how to link AI to outcomes: time saved, better experience, higher quality, reduced risk, or happier customers. You’ll see real Rovo examples from companies of different sizes—what worked, what removed friction, and what teams changed to unlock value. You’ll leave with a simple playbook your teams can copy: where to start, which use cases to try first, and how to measure whether work is actually improving.

RovoDev: The AI Teammate for the Modern SDLC
While everyone is talking about the “potential” of AI, developers are asking a different question: How does it actually help me ship better code, faster? In this session, we dive deep into RovoDev, Atlassian’s specialized AI agent designed specifically for the Software Development Lifecycle. Moving far beyond simple “chatbots” or basic code completion, we will demonstrate how RovoDev acts as a technical teammate that understands your entire Atlassian ecosystem—from Jira requirements and Confluence specs to Bitbucket repositories.
Whether you’ve already seen the latest Team ’26 Anaheim announcements or are just beginning to explore Human-AI collaboration, this session provides the concrete, “pro-code” reality of what it means to build with an AI that has context.Darryl Lee

ITSM Automation at Scale: Governing Jira Service Management Growth
As ITSM practices mature, so does the complexity of automation in Jira Service Management. What begins as a few SLA rules or incident workflows can quickly evolve into hundreds of automations across service desks, teams, and processes — making it difficult to maintain visibility, consistency, and control. In this session, you’ll learn how to bring structure to automation sprawl by applying ITSM-aligned governance frameworks, standardizing workflows across service operations, and reducing long-term automation debt. We’ll explore practical strategies to ensure your automation supports key ITSM processes while keeping operations predictable, compliant, and scalable.

Better Tickets, Better Docs: Building a Self-Documenting System for Software Teams
Struggling to get teams to fill out Jira issues correctly, and tired of the manual effort needed to turn those issues into Confluence pages? This session will guide you through building a streamlined, automated system using customizable templates and real-time integration. You will learn to standardize issue input from the first click – ensuring even non-technical reporters provide high-quality data – and build a self-documenting workflow where Confluence pages are generated and kept up to date automatically. Your work and knowledge can finally evolve in sync.

Atlassian Cloud and the Loss of Control
Sometimes it feels like too much is happening in your Atlassian Cloud and too fast, everything is out of control, and you just can’t keep up. Ed will share some of the approaches that TechTime’s customers have implemented to organise user identities in Atlassian Cloud to make the overall picture appear tidier, make numbers match, and reduce admin’s stress.

Bridging the gap between Confluence docs and Jira tasks with requirement management.
Join our session to learn how to translate stakeholder’s ideas into requirements and tasks. Too often, context is lost as business rules move from Confluence pages into fragmented Jira items. We’ll help you navigate and structure the narrative flow of specifications, and showcase how our customers leverage Requirement Yogi for audits and compliance.

When Atlassian User Management Stops Being an Admin Problem
Nobody wakes up excited about user management. And yet, again and again, it’s the silent character behind some of the biggest headaches in modern organizations: exploding license costs, broken accountability, risky migrations, and decisions made without reliable data. This session tells a story — or rather, several — about how these situations unfold in real life, what teams usually miss until it’s too late, and how thinking differently about user management can change the outcome. No sales pitch. No “ten features in ten minutes.” Just stories, lessons learned, and a glimpse of what becomes possible when user management stops being invisible.

Aligning Strategy and Execution Without Forcing Change
In a world where organizations operate across diverse frameworks and varying levels of maturity, forcing a single way of working often creates more friction than value. This session explores how enterprises can achieve alignment between strategy and execution without disrupting the way teams already operate. We’ll look at how Appfire and BigPicture enable organizations to scale project and portfolio management in a way that adapts to their existing structures, frameworks, and evolving needs. Rather than enforcing rigid standards, BigPicture flexes to fit both conventional and non-standard approaches, supporting transformation over time. You’ll also see how BigPicture Enterprise extends this capability to the strategic level—connecting objectives, strategic themes, budgeting, risk management, and prioritization into one cohesive layer above delivery. The key message is simple: your tools should align with your teams—not the other way around.

Real-Time Expertise Mapping: Connecting the Right Experts to the Right Challenges at Scale
Every company thinks it knows its talent – until it needs it. In reality, expertise is scattered, outdated, and hidden across systems, conversations, and people’s heads. The result: slower decisions, missed opportunities, and duplicated work. This session introduces real-time expertise mapping. By continuously enriching the Atlassian Teamwork Graph with system data, verified credentials, self-declared skills, and behavioral signals, organizations gain a living view of their capabilities.
The impact is immediate: faster task assignment, smarter decisions, and fewer silos. More importantly, it exposes skill gaps, surfaces risk early, and enables better hiring and talent development. Because the real advantage isn’t what you know – it’s how fast you can find the people who do.Yelyzaveta Burda

When Healthcare IT and Field Services Management converge: how the Lego blocks come together for a vertical solution
When someone says “healthcare,” we often think of high-pace ER-style TV shows or siloed impenetrable monolith-like systems full of patient data with high level of compliance requirements. However, there is a different side to the story — Healthcare IT, which is both more mundane and equally life-threatening when it fails. Ed will share an overview of an integrated JSM-based solution for Healthcare IT and Field Service Management of medical devices, which TechTime and its partners are developing together.

Ending the “Version Wars” in the Modern Workspace
In the rush to be agile, organizations often leave a hole in their document security and integrity: the “Version Overwrite.” Whether it’s an HR professional’s sensitive salary spreadsheet or a Project Lead’s critical budget, Confluence’s default nature can lead to chaos. Join us to discover how Attachment Locker acts as the “Missing Link” in Confluence security—ensuring that your most important files are protected, compliant, and conflict-free without slowing down your team’s evolution.

Workshop: Tools Are the Engine. What’s Your Driver?
Our conference brings the engine of modern work to the table — tools, platforms, AI, automation. This workshop brings the driver. Because the most common reason digital transformations underperform isn’t the tooling — it’s how people work together, make decisions, and adapt while using those tools. We don’t compete with the tools conversation. We complete it.

AI as Infrastructure – How I Wired My Work Brain
Why this talk is different: Most AI talks show you demos. This one shows you a system – built by someone who doesn’t just use software, but builds it. That changes everything about what you actually need from AI. The Stack: Atlassian AI meets the wider world. Rovo and Confluence Intelligence are great – but they’re one layer. See how Atlassian’s AI tools connect with Claude, MCP servers, and voice input to create something far more powerful than any single platform can offer. Running 10 things at once – without losing your mind. Software development, documentation, presentations, product management, partner enablement, and personal projects are often worked on in the same day. AI isn’t just a productivity tool here; it’s the operating system that makes parallel workstreams actually manageable. Honest lessons from the trenches: What breaks, what surprised me, and the one mindset shift that makes everything else click.

Implementing AI with ethics at your core
Artificial Intelligence is moving from experimentation to everyday use inside organizations. From copilots in email and spreadsheets to AI agents making operational decisions, companies are integrating AI into the fabric of work faster than their governance models can adapt. But with this acceleration comes a fundamental question: just because we can automate something, should we? In this talk, Lucian Popovici explores what it actually means to implement AI responsibly inside organizations, beyond buzzwords and policy documents. Drawing from real-world examples across consulting, technology, and corporate environments, the session will highlight the practical dilemmas leaders face when introducing AI into workflows: transparency of decisions, accountability when AI makes mistakes, employee trust, and the risk of automating poor processes. Rather than presenting ethics as a theoretical framework, this talk offers a pragmatic perspective on how organizations can embed ethical thinking directly into their AI adoption journey — through better process design, human oversight, and a culture that values augmentation over blind automation.
The goal is simple: build organizations where AI increases human capability without eroding trust, responsibility, or judgment.Lucian Popovici

Subject: Request to attend Work Evolution Summit 2026 (ROI for [Company Name])
Hi [Manager’s Name],
I am writing to request approval to attend the Work Evolution Summit 2026 in Bucharest on May 28-29.
This event is heavily focused on the Atlassian ecosystem and the integration of AI into our daily workflows. Given our current goals around [insert a current company goal, e.g., scaling our agile practices / reducing IT overhead / improving developer speed], attending this summit will give me actionable frameworks to bring back to the team.
The agenda is strictly focused on practical solutions, specifically:
- Teamwork & AI Agents: Learning how to leverage Atlassian’s new AI capabilities (like Rovo) to automate manual tasks and align our daily work with enterprise strategy.
- Intelligent Service Experience: Discovering how to reduce our admin overhead, manage licensing costs, and implement automated IT/Enterprise service desks.
- DevEx & Security: Gaining insights into protecting our data, ensuring compliance (like DORA/NIS2), and removing bottlenecks in our engineering pipelines.
- Connected Knowledge: Finding ways to break down data silos between our tools so our team stops wasting time searching for information.
The cost of the ticket is [Price], plus travel expenses. However, the actionable strategies I will bring back regarding platform governance and AI automation should easily cover the cost of attendance in saved time and optimized tool usage.
I plan to share a full executive summary and actionable recommendations with the team upon my return. You can review the full agenda here: https://lifeincodes.com/work-evolution-summit/
Let me know if we can chat about this briefly during our next 1-on-1!
Best regards,
