Key announcements and themes from Amsterdam
The conference centred on agentic workflows and product roadmaps across Jira, Confluence and Rovo. Four themes stood out.
Agentic Multiplayer Protocol (AMP)
Introduced to coordinate real-time and asynchronous collaboration between human teams and AI agents, with clear identity, attribution and governance controls.
How it helps your team: agents can work alongside people with accountability. You can see who, or what, did the work.
Strategy Collection
One of five announcement collections Atlassian showcased, alongside Teamwork, Product, Software and Service. It is built to connect priorities to work, people and investment.
How it helps your team: leaders can connect goals to delivery and move people and budget to where they matter most.
Security and regional data governance
Atlassian emphasised AI security and regional data governance, a key concern for European organisations adopting AI.
How it helps your team: adopt AI with more confidence in regulated or privacy-sensitive environments.
Rovo and the Teamwork Graph
AI that finds knowledge across your tools and connects work, people and context.
How it helps your team: less time searching, faster and better-informed decisions.
Why Team ’26 Europe mattered for AI-forward teams
The event brought Atlassian customers, partners and Community members together in Amsterdam to look at how teamwork is changing. For many organisations, the question is no longer whether to use AI, but how to use it safely and productively. Three ideas shaped the conversation.
Agents as teammates
Atlassian positioned AI agents as participants in everyday team work, not separate tools. The Agentic Multiplayer Protocol gives humans and agents a shared way to collaborate in real time and asynchronously. For your team, this means clearer handoffs and less context lost between people and automation.
Governed AI adoption
Identity, attribution and governance controls were a central part of the message. Knowing who or what completed a task builds the trust that leaders need before they scale AI. Regional data governance matters further for regulated industries.
Connected work and context
Rovo and the Teamwork Graph connect people, projects and knowledge across tools. Instead of searching through several systems, teams can find answers and make decisions faster. This shared context is also what powers smarter planning, such as the new Strategy Collection.
What was discussed Across keynotes and workshops
Across keynotes, workshops and networking, the conversation kept returning to one question: how do teams work well when agents are teammates?
Human + AI collaboration
Atlassian showed how people and AI agents can share the same workspace and work on the same projects. The aim is for teams to hand routine work to agents while people keep control of decisions and direction.
Agentic workflows
The focus moved from AI that only answers questions to AI that can complete tasks inside everyday workflows. For teams, this can mean less manual follow-up and faster progress on work that used to need several steps.
Product roadmaps
Sessions covered what is coming next across Jira, Confluence and Rovo, so teams can plan ahead. Knowing the direction early helps you decide what to adopt now and what to prepare for.
Security and governance
Identity, attribution and governance controls were a central part of the conversation, so it is clear who or what completed each piece of work. This helps leaders scale AI with confidence, especially in regulated or privacy-sensitive environments.
How this helps your team work smarter
Team ’26 Europe showed how people and AI agents can work together in one connected workspace. The announcements are most useful when they turn into clear, practical outcomes for your own team. Here is how each idea can help you work faster, stay in control and make better decisions.
Work faster
Let agents handle repetitive tasks while people focus on decisions.
Stay aligned
Link strategy, capacity and delivery in one connected view.
Stay in control
Keep clear attribution and governance as AI use grows.
Find answers quickly
Use Rovo to surface knowledge from across your tools.
Practical Next Steps to Take After Team ’26 Europe
Team ’26 Europe introduced new ways for people and AI agents to work together, but the value comes from acting on them. These three steps help you move from ideas to a clear, realistic plan for your own team. Start small, measure the results and build from there.
Check Your Cloud Readiness
Many of the capabilities discussed, including Rovo and agents, are built for Atlassian Cloud. Review your current Jira and Confluence setup, your apps and your data residency needs. A short assessment shows what to migrate, what to retire and what to improve first.
Pilot AI Agents with Guardrails
Start with one well-defined workflow, such as service requests or knowledge search. Set clear permissions, review how agent work is attributed, and measure time saved. A small, governed pilot gives you evidence before you roll out more widely.
Align Strategy with Capacity
Look at how work connects from company goals down to delivery. Use that visibility to spot overloaded teams and shift effort to your top priorities. Capabilities like Strategy Collection are designed to support exactly this kind of planning.
