Atlas Camp 2026 has wrapped in Amsterdam, and this week on The Jira Life we’re bringing you the inside scoop.

Join us as we welcome Peter Van de Voorde and Dan Hardiker to break down everything that mattered from Atlas Camp 2026.

From AI-first app development to the continued evolution of Forge and platform extensibility, Peter and Dan share their firsthand insights on:

• The biggest themes shaping the Atlassian ecosystem in 2026

• How AI agents and automation are changing the way developers build on Jira and Confluence

• What’s new (and what’s next) for Forge and the Atlassian developer platform

• Roadmap signals that solution partners and app vendors should be paying attention to

• The hallway conversations and community energy you didn’t see

Atlas Camp isn’t just another conference — it’s where Atlassian’s developer future takes shape. If you build, administer, or extend Atlassian apps, this episode will help you understand how AI, extensibility, and ecosystem strategy are converging — and what that means for your work in the year ahead.

Whether you attended in Amsterdam or followed from afar, this is your definitive Atlas Camp 2026 recap.

🎧 Tune in and get ready to level up your Atlassian game.

In this episode of The Jira Life, we sit down with Robert Hean of Hean Tech to explore how Confluence documentation is evolving in the age of Rovo and Atlassian Intelligence.As AI teammates like Rovo become part of everyday work, the quality of your documentation matters more than ever. We discuss what “good documentation” really means today, common mistakes teams make in Confluence, and how to structure content so Rovo can deliver accurate, helpful answers instead of amplifying documentation chaos.
Robert shares practical strategies for creating AI-ready Confluence spaces, improving knowledge discoverability, and aligning documentation practices with modern Jira and Jira Service Management workflows. Whether you are an Atlassian admin, documentation owner, or team lead preparing for AI-powered collaboration, this conversation will help you future-proof your knowledge base.
