In a year of economic turbulence, rapid AI breakthroughs, and growing expectations to ship faster with fewer resources, developer experience (DevEx) continues to be center stage in leadership conversations.

Join this session for a deep dive into the findings of Atlassian's latest State of DevEx Survey Report 2025. The session will explore not only how AI is transforming developer workflows and enhancing the developer experience, but also how the rise of AI agents is ushering in a new era of intelligent, collaborative teamwork.

Key takeaways:

• AI adoption is on the rise. Get insights into how AI agents are becoming true productivity partners as virtual teammates with clear goals, natural interactions, and the ability to automate repetitive tasks, freeing up developers to focus on creativity, problem-solving, and building great products.
• There continues to be a widening gap between leaders and developers. An increasing number of developers are reporting that leaders don’t understand their pain points: A strong majority (63%) feel top leaders at their organization don’t understand the challenges developers face in their roles, up from 44% reported in last year’s survey.
• AI usage is up, but productivity is down. Developers are losing more time compared to last year: 50% of developers lose 10+ hours a week due to organizational inefficiencies, up from 33% in last year’s report.
