In this episode of Conversations from the Show Floor, recorded live at Atlassian’s Team ’25 in Anaheim, we go deep with Jamil Valliani, Head of AI Products at Atlassian, to explore the company’s bold bet on generative AI: Rovo.

But this is not just another AI product launch. Jamil shares how Rovo’s enterprise search, contextual chat, and Agent Studio are working together to eliminate workplace friction, from triaging tickets to drafting executive summaries, and helping teams reclaim their time. We also dive into Atlassian’s decision to offer Rovo to all paid users at no additional cost, a move designed to fast-track adoption and encourage experimentation at scale.

With up to 2x ROI, 105 minutes saved per day, and 85% of users reporting better work quality, this is a rare look at how AI is not just automating tasks but transforming how teams collaborate, make decisions, and build culture.

Jamil breaks down what it means to work alongside AI teammates, what early adopters are building with over 3,000 agents already in play, and why leadership buy-in from founders to frontline teams is the secret to success. Whether you're just starting your AI journey or looking to scale, this episode offers real-world strategies to turn hype into habit.

Tune in for a front-row seat to the future of work, straight from the show floor.

At Team 25 in Anaheim, I sat down with Gaurav Kataria, Head of Product for Trello at Atlassian, to unpack the biggest release in Trello’s history and what it means for millions who rely on this trusted tool.

In this live show floor conversation, Gaurav shares how Trello is evolving beyond its familiar Kanban board roots and becoming an AI-powered productivity companion designed for individuals. We explore why this strategic change matters in a world filled with endless emails, chat threads and scattered to-dos, and how the new features — like an intelligent inbox, a planning layer and deep integration with Slack, Gmail and personal calendars — help people stay focused and organised.

Gaurav explains how Trello’s latest updates are inspired by real user habits and thoughtful design, keeping simplicity at the heart of the experience. He also shares why Atlassian believes in building specialised tools that work together rather than trying to create one app that does it all.

This episode is packed with insights for anyone interested in the future of personal productivity, the role of AI as your digital assistant and how Trello plans to stay true to its easy and visual nature while adding smarter tools.

If you have ever moved a card from to-do to done and felt a sense of satisfaction, you will enjoy this conversation.

Live from Team '25 in Anaheim, this special episode of Conversations from the Showfloor features a one-on-one with Anu Bharadwaj, President of Atlassian. As teams continue to struggle with fragmented tools, scattered goals, and overwhelming noise, Atlassian is presenting a new way forward. A unified System of Work built for the complexity of modern collaboration.

Anu walks us through how this vision came to life, shaped by Atlassian’s experience leading a globally distributed, remote-first workforce of 13,000 employees across 13 countries. This isn't theory. It’s lived experience. From that foundation comes a modular approach to enterprise productivity, connecting people, tools, and information into one intelligent framework.

Making the Invisible Visible

The conversation dives deep into the newly introduced Teamwork Graph, a connected layer of more than 10 billion data objects. This isn't just about analytics. It’s about enabling what Anu calls digital serendipity, those unexpected, helpful connections between projects, ideas, and people that drive great work.

Alongside the data, Atlassian is introducing AI teammates like Rovo. These are not faceless bots that spit out tasks. They are contextual, customizable, and even come with a bit of personality. With over a million users already onboard, Rovo is a sign that teams are ready for collaboration that feels more natural and less mechanical.

Real Impact, Real Outcomes

What sets this conversation apart is the focus on outcomes. HarperCollins has reduced manual work by four times. Doodle.com has cut planning time by 93 percent. Thumbtack now resolves 15 percent of support tickets automatically. These are not prototypes or beta features. They are real-world results from companies applying the System of Work.

We also touch on Atlassian’s guiding philosophy. To bring joy back into team collaboration. The idea is not just to build faster tools, but to rebuild the work environment around clarity, connection, and purpose. That includes recreating the water cooler moments that remote work tends to erase, turning everyday work into something more fluid and human.

What Leaders Should Know

For technology leaders, this episode offers practical guidance. Start by strengthening your data layer. Think carefully about where AI can support, not replace, human decision-making. And above all, make sure your teams are part of the journey. As Anu shares, lasting change starts when people feel seen, connected, and empowered.

The System of Work is not just another product announcement. It is a framework for envisioning the future of work. For real people, in real businesses, under real pressure.

Whether you’re leading a global enterprise or a fast-moving startup, this conversation offers fresh thinking on how to fix what’s broken in workplace collaboration and how to build something better.
