At Atlassian Team '24 Europe, we learned that teams can now leverage AI-powered support, virtual agents, and asset management tools to streamline IT service management. These advancements enable faster request handling and more efficient scaling of operations.

This is a big deal because these AI capabilities will help take the weight off teams, helping them resolve incidents quicker, reduce manual tasks, and improve overall service quality.
