What if every team in your organisation could work exactly the way they need to - independently, confidently, and within the standards you've set?

In this session, step into the role of a Jira experience architect. You'll get an early look at how Atlassian is reimagining Jira administration to give teams genuine autonomy while keeping enterprise standards and governance firmly intact.

Today, Jira admins face a constant tension: lock everything down and teams wait in a support queue for every new space, field, or workflow change. Open everything up and you get custom-field sprawl, divergent statuses, and a portfolio view nobody trusts. This session shows you a third path - one where admins design the system, and teams work within it freely.

What you'll discover (an early look at upcoming capabilities):

Define the standards - Learn how global fields and global statuses give team-managed spaces a single, trusted data foundation. When "Done" means the same thing in every space, cross-team reporting just works - and AI agents have clean, reliable ground truth to act on.

Shape the choices - See how space policies and custom templates turn your standards into governed self-service. Teams can spin up their own team-managed spaces and configure their own workflows without filing an admin ticket or drifting from your architecture. You set the menu; teams choose from it.

Delegate without letting go - Get an early look at a new AI admin agent for Jira that helps you execute configuration changes in one click, with confidence and full transparency into the downstream impact. It speaks both business and technical language and keeps you in control of every decision that matters. For company-managed spaces, it also helps teams get the changes they need faster. This isn't automation for automation's sake - it's a strategic partner that helps you scale your impact across the entire organisation.

Key features covered (currently in Early Access - you'll get a link to express interest in joining the EAP at the end of the session):

• Jira Admin Agent

• Space policies and custom templates

• Global statuses and fields for team-managed spaces

Whether you manage a site with 50 users or 50,000, you'll leave with a clear picture of where Jira administration is heading - and how to amplify the value Jira enables for every team in your organisation.
