# Reimagining the Developer Experience: The AI Advantage


- **Date:** Thursday, Jul 10, 2025
- **Time:** 14:50–15:20 (30 min)
- **Room:** Mainstage
- **Event:** World Congress 2025

## Description

Join Atlassian President, Anu Bharadwaj, for a deep dive into what the future of developer experience looks like in an AI-powered world. 

Drawing on insights from thousands of developers and Atlassian’s own journey, Anu will explore how AI agents are evolving into true productivity partners—transforming workflows and eliminating friction across the software development lifecycle. She’ll also discuss the cultural shifts—like experimentation and growth mindset—needed to fully usher in this new era of intelligent, collaborative teamwork.

Most importantly, Anu will explore how AI removes friction at every stage to unlock creativity, collaboration, and speed, to help developers focus on what matters most: building great software, faster.
