1:05 PM: Teamwork + Strategy: Atlassian's Game-Changing Collections

At Team 25, Atlassian announced two significant bundled app collections: the Teamwork Collection (Jira, Confluence, Loom, and Rovo agents) and the Strategy Collection (Focus, Talent, Align). In this conversation Gasper will discuss how these collections will break down silos, streamline collaboration, and embed AI-powered insights directly into workflows.
