Atlassian's mission is to unleash the potential of every team. We make agile & DevOps, IT service management and work management software to help teams organize, discuss, and complete shared work.

Leading indicators are super useful because they give you a heads-up about potential problems instead of just telling you what’s already gone wrong. We are using an AI powered tool ( can't be named here, I guess) that gets you insights that help you notice issues before they escalate.
Plus, it really encourages everyone to be transparent about project status so the whole team knows what’s going on from the get-go. This openness motivates everyone to take responsibility and helps build strong teams that tackle problems early on and stay focused on their goals together.
Traditional reporting often comes too late to make necessary changes. By being proactive and embracing transparency with some AI support, teams can adapt and improve on their own. The key is to catch issues early and empower teams to make adjustments as needed.
AI plays a role in all team decisions, like a performance coach, and also helps out at the management level. It identifies risks and suggests improvements for senior executives.
I hope that helps? 🙂
Highly flexible enterprise agile planning platform that scales effectively with strong governance and disciplived execution
4.0Jan 20, 2026
Jira has proven to be a strong entreprise agile planning platform when used beyond team-level execution and combined with disciplined governance practices. In our context, Jira supports program-level planning, dependency management, cross-team coordination, and leadership visibility across large transformation initiatives. While not all entreprise planning capabilities are native out of the box, the platform is highly extensible and adaptable, making it effective when paired with clear processed and supporting tools.

It can be overcomplicated for fairly simple tasks, and there are sometimes too many clicks to get where you need to go. It can also look a little daunting to team members if they don't regularly use similar SaaS tools, despite it being quite intuitive for them once they master the basics. The notifications can also get noisy, and setting up workflows can take a very long time.
