    Securing Rovo: AI Governance Without Killing Innovation

    Join guest speaker Rebekka Heilmann as she explores how Atlassian's rollout of web search by default, autonomous agents, and daily new MCP integrations is quietly turning Rovo into one of the biggest attack surfaces and compliance blind spots in your stack, right as the EU AI Act enforcement clock starts ticking.This session lays the groundwork for safe AI adoption: where security and governance vulnerabilities actually tend to show up, which Rovo settings genuinely matter (versus checkbox theater), and how to build an AI usage policy that scales across team maturity levels, from AI-curious to AI-native.You'll leave with a practical framework for supporting experimentation without losing control, closing compliance gaps before they become audit findings, and getting your teams trained and accountable under the EU AI Act, without slowing down the adoption your organization actually needs.The Jira Life=====================================Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?

    Building Atlassian Marketing from Scratch

    What do professional dance, island living in the Azores, and Atlassian Marketplace marketing have in common? More than you’d think! In this episode of The Jira Life, we’re joined by Alicia Nemetz to peel back the curtain on what it really takes to build a marketing function almost from scratch in a small, remote-first team. Alicia takes us on a tour of some of the wildest creative projects she’s worked on for APTIS and other clients, from the story behind community-favorite swag (hello, California Streamin’ Collection!) to the creation of APTIS’ first comic volume—and what’s planned next. Beyond the fun gear, she gets real about the lessons learned along the way, including the unexpected business “ego death” of Not Another Webinar, navigating a non-traditional career path in tech, and why radically transparent, authentic marketing will always beat corporate boredom.

    Staying Human in the Age of AI

    AI is changing the way we work, but it's also changing the way we think, communicate, learn, and create.In this episode, we move beyond the usual conversations about productivity and automation to explore a bigger question: What does it mean to stay human in the age of AI?We discuss how AI is reshaping the workplace, creativity, decision making, and human connection. As AI becomes more capable, how do we ensure that curiosity, empathy, critical thinking, and authentic collaboration remain at the center of what we do?We also explore some fascinating economic questions. What happens when AI becomes expensive to run because of token costs? Could there be situations where human expertise becomes more cost effective than AI? And what does the future look like if experienced developers become scarcer than demand?Whether you're a developer, founder, creator, or simply curious about where technology is taking us, this conversation is an invitation to think beyond the tools and focus on the people using them.In this episode:How AI is changing the way we think and solve problemsThe future of human work alongside AICreativity, communication, and learning in an AI first worldWhy being "more human" may become our greatest advantageThe surprising economics of AI, token costs, and human expertise💬 We'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Taking it on Faith - The Journey of a Jira Admin

    This week the TJL crew sits down with Kayode Faith, a longtime Jira admin who's just launched his own podcast, The New Shape of Work and had one of the TJL crew members as his first guest (guess who!?). Kayode opens up about how a recent summit completely changed his perspective on Forge, and the crew swaps stories about the unexpected professional relationships and friendships that come out of these events.From there, the conversation turns reflective: Kayode looks back at how the Atlassian ecosystem has evolved over his six years as a Jira admin, and shares what he's most excited about going forward — starting with never having to do another nerve-wracking Jira Data Center upgrade again. The crew also digs into the real-world frustrations of working in this space, including Kayode's experience supporting a nonprofit client with little to no budget for essential apps, including backup solutions for Jira and Confluence Cloud.Expect candid stories, shared scars, and plenty of laughs as the crew welcomes a fellow admin (and fellow podcaster) into the fold.Thank you to ikuTeam for connecting and collaborating with The Jira Life. https://ikuteam.comThe Jira Life=====================================Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?

    Sustainable Leadership at Atlassian (featuring Jessica Hyman)

    What does it actually look like to embed social impact into the DNA of a leading tech company — not as a PR footnote, but as a core operating principle? This week, we sit down with Jessica Hyman, the person at Atlassian tasked with answering exactly that question.As a key part of the Atlassian Foundation and the company's Chief Sustainability Officer, Jessica oversees everything from Atlassian's environmental commitments to its global social impact programs. We dig into how she navigates the tension between ambitious sustainability goals and the realities of running a high-growth software company, what the Atlassian Foundation is building for the long term, and why she thinks the tools teams use every day — yes, including Jira — can shape a more equitable future of work.This discussion looks beyond the typical outcomes such as new features of Rovo to understand how one of the world's biggest collaboration platforms approaches its obligations to the planet and its communities.

    ...And Now a Word from Our Sponsor (with Nelson Pereira)

    TEAM '26 was a whirlwind — and we're still buzzing from it. But before we move on to the next thing, we wanted to take a moment to shine a light on the people who helped make this season possible. This quarter, that means ikuTeam, and we couldn't be more grateful for the partnership.So what better way to say thank you than to hand them the mic?In this episode, we sit down with Nelson Pereira, co-founder and VP of Product at ikuTeam, for a wide-ranging conversation about how ikuTeam came to be, what they've built, and where they're headed. Whether you've been hearing about ikuTeam all season and want to finally understand what they actually do, or you're already a fan of their products, this one's worth a listen.Nelson walks us through the origin story of ikuTeam — the problem they set out to solve and how that vision has evolved over time. We dig into their current product lineup, what makes it tick for Jira users specifically, and the roadmap ahead. If you've ever wondered how a tool gets purpose-built for the way modern teams actually work inside Atlassian's ecosystem, Nelson has a lot of thoughtful things to say about that.It's a fun, honest conversation with someone who clearly loves what he's building — and we think you'll come away with a much clearer picture of why ikuTeam has been a natural fit for the Atlassian community.Give it a listen, and as always — thanks for being here!Thank you to ikuTeam for connecting and collaborating with The Jira Life. https://ikuteam.comThe Jira Life=====================================Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?
