Atlassian wants developers to finally like Jira
The New Stack 22 hours ago
Atlassian launched AI-powered features for Jira including a Coding Agent that converts work items into pull requests and integrates with Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot to make the platform more appealing to developers. Internal testing showed a 36% reduction in PR cycle time, 44% boost in agent task completion efficiency, and 48% drop in token consumption among Atlassian's 6,000 engineers. The updates aim to keep developers in Jira by automating routine tasks and reducing context switching, though the company acknowledges challenges remain in code review bottlenecks and has set no roadmap beyond the next quarter.
