In this 60-minute session, Sven Peters, AI Evangelist at Atlassian, dives into how teams can move beyond simple AI prompts and build autonomous agents that streamline everyday processes in Jira. He’ll demonstrate how to hand over repetitive, time-consuming Jira work to Rovo – helping teams unblock bottlenecks, move faster, and focus on high-impact problem solving.Live in the session, Sven will build an agent from scratch to show agentic workflows in action. He’ll walk through practical patterns for breaking complex Jira processes into coordinated subagents, running evaluations to ensure trustworthy and consistent output, and configuring agent accounts so automations can run independently with full governance and auditability.
This session is aimed at team leads, product practitioners, and builders looking for a practical, use-case-driven blueprint to automate workflows and scale reliable AI agents across their Jira projects.
