    Atlassian Price Increases: Okay… So What Does This Mean for Us?

    Atlassian is raising prices, and if you use Jira, Confluence, or other Atlassian tools, you are probably asking the same question we are: What does this actually mean for me and my team? In this episode of The Jira Life, we are having a real conversation about the price increases, what is changing, who is likely to feel it the most, and whether the added cost makes sense. We will talk about what this means for admins, teams, companies, and the people responsible for making those “Do we really need this?” budget decisions. And, of course, we will share our thoughts on whether Atlassian is giving us enough value to justify paying more. No corporate spin. No complicated pricing charts. Just a conversation about what is happening, how we are looking at it, and what we think Atlassian customers should be thinking about next.

    Securing Rovo: AI Governance Without Killing Innovation

    Join guest speaker Rebekka Heilmann as she explores how Atlassian's rollout of web search by default, autonomous agents, and daily new MCP integrations is quietly turning Rovo into one of the biggest attack surfaces and compliance blind spots in your stack, right as the EU AI Act enforcement clock starts ticking.This session lays the groundwork for safe AI adoption: where security and governance vulnerabilities actually tend to show up, which Rovo settings genuinely matter (versus checkbox theater), and how to build an AI usage policy that scales across team maturity levels, from AI-curious to AI-native.You'll leave with a practical framework for supporting experimentation without losing control, closing compliance gaps before they become audit findings, and getting your teams trained and accountable under the EU AI Act, without slowing down the adoption your organization actually needs.The Jira Life=====================================Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?

    Why Do People Keep Helping? The Secret Behind the Atlassian Community

    What happens when you spend years helping people in the Atlassian Community? What motivates someone to keep answering questions, sharing knowledge, and helping others solve their Jira and Atlassian challenges? In this episode of The Jira Life, we are joined by Trudy Claspill, one of the Atlassian Community's most active contributors, to take a closer look at the Atlassian Community Forums and the people behind them. We will talk about how the Community works, Kudos, badges, challenges, leaderboards, recognition, and what it means to become a contributor. But more importantly, we want to explore the human side of community. Why do people contribute? Does recognition matter? What can you learn by helping others? Can participating in the Community lead to new relationships and opportunities? And if you are new to the Atlassian ecosystem, how can you get started? Whether you are already active in the Atlassian Community or have never posted a question, this conversation will give you a closer look at what makes the Community such an important part of the Atlassian ecosystem. Come for the Kudos and badges. Stay for the stories, lessons, and community behind them. The Jira Life ===================================== Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?
