Enterprise software giant Atlassian is rolling out a new way for humans and AI agents to work together that it hopes will help teams produce \u201c10x the work without 10x the chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atlassian announced \u201cagents in Jira\u201d on Wednesday. This update gives users of the company\u2019s project management software Jira the ability to assign and manage work for their digital agents from the same dashboard they use for their human employees.<\/p>\n
Agents in Jira allows enterprises to assign tasks and tickets to AI agents, just as they would to people. It also tracks how the work is coming along, and sets deadlines, among other metrics. Users can now also loop in AI agents during the middle of an existing project too.<\/p>\n
This feature is now available in open beta.<\/p>\n
This update is meant to give users the same visibility into the work their agents are doing as their human employees Tamar Yehoshua, Atlassian\u2019s new chief product and AI officer, told TechCrunch.<\/p>\n
\u201cAtlassian has been in the business, for decades, of collaboration software helping people get work done,\u201d Yehoshua said. \u201cNow, you enter agents, and agents are now doing a lot of that work, and so you want to be able to coordinate between humans and agents.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Atlassian understands that just giving people more avenues to automate doesn\u2019t necessarily mean less work, Yehoshua said. That\u2019s why the key part of this update is that everything happens within the same dashboard, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve been hearing in the zeitgeist lately that all of these agents are creating more work for people, and in some ways, more chaos,\u201d Yehoshua said. \u201cWhat we\u2019re really good at is putting order to that chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n
As enterprises continue to figure out how and where they can find a return on investment from investing in AI tools, this kind of view could prove beneficial. The ability to compare the work of agents versus humans on the same project could help enterprises figure out where to deploy agents to begin with and what tasks should remain human-led.<\/p>\n
This announcement is just the first of many, Yehoshua said, as the company looks to increasingly add AI tools into its existing software products.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe goal is to enable people to work more productively with AI and I think this is a step,\u201d Yehoshua said. \u201cIt\u2019s only the beginning of the journey. It\u2019s a long journey, but this is a really important step of how to integrate AI into the workflows that you already have, which I\u2019m really excited about.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Enterprise software giant Atlassian is rolling out a new way for humans and AI agents to work together…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,8135,289,290,27628,18,9360,19,17,166485,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-355782","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-ai-agents","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-atlassian","13":"tag-eire","14":"tag-enterprise","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-jira","18":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116132146288954943","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
