successful teams innovate how they work

our results show that high-performing teams build the right foundations for teamwork by making time to improve their processes, practices, and tools.

top teams stop to answer and act on these three questions:

innovative teams prioritize the highest-impact work over short-term performative goals. they make it a point to ask themselves, “when we look back in a year, or at the end of the quarter, will we have done work that advanced mission-critical goals?”

when teams put processes in place to identify their top-priority work, they are:

4.6x

more likely to be effective

4.6x

more likely to be productive

4.7x

more likely to be adaptable

how to work on the right things:

set clear goals

high-performing teams focus their time and effort on the right things because they know their goals. goals that target a specific outcome empower teams to solve problems and deliver value with autonomy. 

teams with clear goals are:

make goals visible to everyone

anyone within the organization should be able to see who’s delivering work contributing to that goal and what progress has been made. this helps organizations eliminate silos and avoid duplicative work.

atlassian makes it easy to make your goals

goals are embedded throughout the atlassian platform to offer a shared place for every team to set, connect, and track goals.

build rituals that clarify priorities, every day

big goals are achieved through small steps. effective teams build rituals to consistently identify (and celebrate!) mini milestones. they prioritize what they can do today to help incrementally reach their goals.

top teams take control of their workday by giving each working hour a mission. they use meetings strategically (instead of compulsively) and make time to concentrate and collaborate on their highest priority work.

teams who make the most of their time are:

1.6x

less likely to engage in 世界杯欧洲预选赛直播平台 theater

世界杯欧洲预选赛直播平台 theater: acting busy to appear productive without actually making progress on important tasks

1.6x

more likely to plan and track work in consistent ways across teams

how to make time to progress your goals:

make calendars reflect priorities

effective teams design their workdays around their highest priority work. they intentionally block off time each day to concentrate without distraction, be available to work with collaborators, and reply to messages and comments.

we tested this at atlassian!

run better meetings

top teams use meeting time to make meaningful progress by brainstorming an idea or solving a complex problem. meetings are energizing because they end with an outcome – not another meeting invite.

get everyone on the same page, literally

page-led meetings are a proven way to eliminate meeting friction and accomplish your goals, without losing decision-making context. learn more ›

replace meetings with async video

recording a video is an easy way to present work and share updates without meeting or losing the human element. viewers can process information at their own pace on their own time.

loom is a game changer for atlassian:

over two weeks, 43% of atlassians had a meeting replaced by a loom, which freed up 5,000 hours of focus time – or 2.5 years of working time. learn more ›

teams that build, share, and harness knowledge to its full potential make progress faster. when knowledge is buried in people’s computers or in their heads, teams can only move forward by scheduling (another) meeting.

effective teams move and create their work online, and share a single “source of truth” across the organization so others can easily gather information and avoid duplicative work.

when teams make information self-serve, they are:

4.9x

more likely to be effective

4.4x

more likely to be productive

4.4x

more likely to be adaptable

how to make knowledge easy to find and understand:

obsess over the quality of documentation

high-quality documentation is concise and clearly articulated, and answers readers’ questions. this helps teams quickly build a shared understanding and invest their time into designing and delivering great ideas.

use ai tools to work faster and smarter

write better content more quickly by using ai tools like atlassian intelligence. atlassian intelligence can generate new content, simplify your language, and eliminate typos.

harness ai to make knowledge flow

when work is online, ai can seamlessly surface the exact knowledge teams are searching for through summary results, automate administrative work, and enable knowledge mining.

teams using atlassian intelligence:

teams and leaders who use ai are better at collaborating

ai is disrupting how businesses compete and how work gets done.

our data show that teams that use ai on a regular basis are:

1.8x

more likely to have goal clarity

2.2x

more likely to make knowledge easy to find

1.6x

more likely to be effective

1.9x

more likely to be adaptable to change

leaders who use ai have:

19%

more time to create work with their teams

12%

more time to focus each day on their priorities

successful teams innovate how they work so they’re ready for what comes next.
