What happens when tools like Jira, Confluence, Loom, and AI-powered agents come together under one unified strategy?

At Team 25 in Anaheim, I sat down with Sanchan Saxena, Atlassian’s Head of Product for Work Management, to explore the company’s new Teamwork Collection and what it means for the evolving nature of collaboration.

With leadership experience at Coinbase, Airbnb, Instagram, and Microsoft, Sanchan brings a pragmatic lens to building products that meet teams where they are. In our conversation, we unpack the thinking behind the Teamwork Collection, a curated set of Atlassian tools designed to help teams work more seamlessly while delivering real, measurable outcomes. This isn’t about adding more tools to the stack. It’s about reducing the noise and giving teams a single, integrated space to plan, document, and communicate with clarity.

We also explore how AI is being used to reduce manual overhead, surface relevant information faster, and make daily tasks feel less like busywork. Sanchan shares practical examples of how companies are already using these tools to boost productivity, make meetings more actionable, and give teams back valuable time. For leaders focused on change management or wrestling with tool adoption, there are actionable insights here on overcoming cultural friction and designing for long-term success.

Recorded live at Team 25, this conversation reflects a broader shift in how work is organized and supported. Whether you’re in IT, product, operations, or leadership, this episode offers a look at how Atlassian is building for the future of work—one where humans and AI collaborate without the chaos.

How are you designing your workflows to stay ahead of that curve? Let’s continue the conversation.
