Dungeons & Migrations: A Journey to the Cloud

Imagine a world 200 years in the future where Atlassian still exists. A team of freighter pilots need to traffic helium from Jupiter to earth. There’s only one problem… their ship still runs on data center!

Come attend this imaginative, interactive workshop where we will be talking through the challenges of a Data Center to Cloud Migrations and translating them, in a creative way, into an immersive story and worldbuilding exercise. Featuring mechanics from the famous roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons, this event will not only be a chance to learn more about Cloud Migrations, but you may learn something about the foundations of teamwork itself.

Perfect fo anyone curious about:
  • Teamwork
  • Cloud Migrations
  • Dungeons & Dragons

or if you’re just looking to blow off some creative steam!

Resilience for AI-Driven SaaS: Why Your Team’s AI Agents Are Holding Back
✕

Resilience for AI-Driven SaaS: Why Your Team’s AI Agents Are Holding Back

AI agents are rewriting how engineering teams work. Rovo classifies tickets, Claude Code ships pull requests, and MCP integrations connect your tools, so a single agent can touch Jira, Confluence, and GitHub in a single workflow. The productivity gains are real. So is the tension.

Engineering leaders face two problems at once. First, AI agents operate at machine speed. A misconfigured automation or an overly aggressive code cleanup can cascade across connected systems before anyone notices. Second, because the consequences feel irreversible, teams throttle permissions, run shadow systems to verify agent behavior, and leave significant productivity on the table.

This is the AI Adoption Paradox: the very power that makes AI agents valuable is what holds them back. In this session, you will:

  • See how AI agents interact with Jira, Confluence, and GitHub across Rovo and Claude Code with MCP integrations
  • Learn where cascading risk actually shows up, using real-world incidents from engineering teams
  • Walk away with a practical framework for expanding AI agent permissions confidently, using point-in-time recovery as your safety net

Monitoring Your Knowledge Base Health with Rovo and Appfire

Monitoring Your Knowledge Base Health with Rovo and Appfire

How healthy is the knowledge base powering your workflows? In this session, we will explore a Rovo agent designed to evaluate the health of your Confluence knowledge base using key metrics such as data freshness, content depth, and user engagement through comments.

We will then generate a health score, transform the results using JSONata, and visualize them in Appfire’s Dashboard Hub. By the end, you will walk away with a practical, reusable framework to continuously monitor and improve the health of any knowledge base you rely on.

Drop SharePoint and Microsoft: Office in Confluence & Jira
✕

Drop SharePoint and Microsoft:
Office in Confluence & Jira

Teams do most of their thinking and planning in Confluence and Jira. Yet the real work files often sit somewhere else. A Word document in SharePoint. A PowerPoint in OneDrive. An Excel sheet buried in a folder no one remembers. This creates constant switching between tools and gives Microsoft control over documents that should live where the work actually happens.

In this session, we show how ikuTeam Office turns Atlassian into the central place for creating and editing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. Everything happens inside Confluence and Jira with no SharePoint sites and no extra Microsoft licences. Files stay where the project lives, and people stay focused.

You will leave with a clear plan for reducing dependency on Microsoft, improving trust and control, and giving your teams faster and simpler document workflows inside the tools they use every day.

How to Simplify Your App Dev Workflows

Complicated Jira workflows can slow down the flow of work in your App Dev process. Join Marc Brickley, Director of App Dev at Moser Consulting, as he walks through common complications in Agile workflows and describes their negative impact to your process.

Stop Guessing Capacity:
Using Planned vs. Actual to Drive Better Decisions

Better planning starts with better visibility. Learn how comparing planned vs. actual work across users, teams, and projects helps you understand where time really goes and where plans break down. This session will show how to both capture and analyze this data in ActivityTimeline, and use those insights to adjust faster, improve forecasts, and make more informed decisions. I'd like you to discover how to turn this data into clear, actionable steps for more confident, predictable planning.

Release Management of Complex Systems:
A Practical End-to-End Use Case in Jira

Modern systems are increasingly distributed and composed of multiple interconnected components that improve reliability and operational efficiency. However, this architectural complexity introduces significant overhead to release management — especially in enterprise and highly regulated environments.

In this practical session, we will walk through a real-world use case demonstrating how to manage complex releases in Jira — from idea and planning to deployment in production and automated release notes generation. The session will focus on structuring work, coordinating multiple components and teams, ensuring traceability, and maintaining compliance throughout the release lifecycle.

Make Microsoft Teams part of the Jira workflow

Make Microsoft Teams part of the Jira workflow

Jira tracks work, but the conversations that move it forward often happen in Microsoft Teams and Outlook. Chats, meetings, and decisions take place in Microsoft 365, while Jira work items often capture only the final outcome. In this session, we show how you can connect Microsoft 365 collaboration directly to Jira work items so updates, discussions, and decisions stay tied to the work. After a short walkthrough of the setup, Andy will be joined by Raphael Grosa, ITSM Coordinator at Claro Brasil, for a panel-style conversation about their Jira environment and rollout. Raphael will share practical insights into what changed in their daily operations and how they improved update quality and visibility across Microsoft 365 and Jira. Attendees will leave with a concrete implementation approach for both Jira Software and Jira Service Management environments.

Configuration Management: Sandbox to Production
✕

Configuration Management:
Sandbox to Production

The Deployment Pipeline Promoting configurations across the Atlassian ecosystem, including Jira, JSM, and Assets, is fraught with challenges. Manual methods are slow, risky, and create inconsistencies that disrupt development and operations.

Admins spend hours manually clicking through screens to replicate workflows, fields, and permissions. This is tedious and a major source of human error.

Homegrown scripts are difficult to write, a burden to maintain, and often break with Jira updates. They lack user-friendly interfaces and require specialized knowledge.

When sandbox and production environments drift apart, deployments fail unexpectedly. This leads to broken production systems and emergency firefighting.

Without a record of what changed and when, troubleshooting is impossible. A bad deployment means another round of slow, manual fixes to revert the changes.

How AI can help you with Atlassian Administration, no Rovo or Forge necessary

Yes, creating Rovo Agents and using RovoDev to help you vibe-code Forge Apps are all the rage right now. But if you're an Atlassian Administrator down in the trenches, I'll show you some ways that AI can help you with all kinds of daily tasks, as well as some not so common ones. We're talking about bulk operations, command-line shortcuts, and SQL queries.

Beyond the Basics: Engineering a Scalable Asset Repository in JSM
✕

Beyond the Basics:
Engineering a Scalable Asset Repository in JSM

When designing and architecting your schema, it’s important to plan before you build, taking into account the object type hierarchy, including parents, children, and inheritance. Each object type should have a clear purpose, with attributes defined as Text, Date, URL, Reference, Status, or User. Relationships between objects should be carefully considered, such as a Laptop being assigned to an Employee, who belongs to a Department, which is associated with a Location. Data can be imported and populated via CSV import and mapping, or synced from external tools, and new objects can be created through automation. Finally, connecting assets to Jira Service Management involves linking object fields to request types and issue fields.
