What happens when you study how millions of teams work and collaborate over 20 years? You learn a lot and can use those insights to help organizations operate more effectively. That’s what Atlassian wants to achieve with its “System of Work” – not a product you can buy, but a framework for bringing teams together in tech-driven organizations.
Subscribe to Techzine Talks on Tour and listen to our other episodes via Spotify, Apple , YouTube or another service of your choice.
Anu Bharadwaj, Atlassian’s President, explains this approach to us and to the listeners of Techzine Talks. It is built on four essential pillars: aligning work to goals, planning at scale, unleashing knowledge across silos, and making AI a natural teammate. The idea is that it all works like a box of Lego.
When we first heard about System of Work, we thought it all sounded a bit esoteric and wondered how concrete it is. As it turns out, it is very fundamental to how Atlassian approaches the market, and therefore also fundamental for (potential) customers. Even though the separate components may not change that much, the way they integrate and interact with each other will (and has already changed with the launch of several Collections).
Deeper integrations usually also have a lock-in ring to them. Bharadwaj is adamant that is not the case here, when we ask her about that.
Listen to the episode now to hear all about System of Work and what that means for tools like Jira, Confluence, Loom and Rovo AI agents and by extension for the market as a whole.
Techzine Talks on Tour: season two
We started Techzine Talks on Tour in May of 2024, with the goal of doing at least one episode every two weeks. After 25 episodes in 2024 we were close enough to that target for us to call the first season a good start. That’s what it is, a start, because we’re not done yet. We continue with a second season, with the goal of growing our reach even further.
A big thank you to the people who found us in 2024 already. We hope you continue to listen to Techzine Talks on Tour in 2025. If this is your first encounter with our podcast, there’s much more to come! We hope you enjoy this episode.
