The best SDLC is the one you build yourself: Why orchestration changes everything

Industry research shows AI productivity gains have plateaued at 10–15% — because today's tools only optimize the 20% of a developer's day spent writing code. The real bottlenecks are left and right of code: planning, orchestration, review, and operations. We'll also explore the value of AI-powered code reviews - from establishing code standards that AI can seamlessly enforce, to triggering agentic pipelines that autonomously fix issues. Join Atlassian’s Jovana Dunisijevic for a hands-on deep dive into the AI-native SDLC. In this workshop, we’ll move past single-player copilots and show you how Atlassian is turning Jira into an AI-native orchestration layer for the entire software development lifecycle. Then, we’ll go further. You'll learn how to build custom automations that chain these capabilities together, transforming your Jira board into an agentic software factory where humans set intent and agents execute. You'll walk away with a working understanding of how to move from single-player copilots to multiplayer AI workflows — where the coordination layer, becomes the leverage point.
