Atlassian Goes All In on Bundles to Power Enterprise Collaboration

Atlassian is shifting its sales strategy to prioritize bundled offerings over standalone products, focusing on collections of its popular collaboration tools like JIRA, Confluence, and Loom. The new approach is centered on the recently launched Teamwork Collection, aimed at enhancing cross-functional collaboration and targeting enterprise customers.

• Atlassian's Teamwork Collection bundles JIRA, Confluence, and Loom into one integrated solution.

• The company’s new sales focus will lead with bundled collections for enterprise and high-touch clients.

• Generative AI tool Rovo is included for free to boost collaboration and streamline workflows.

• Additional collections, like the Strategy Collection, are being developed for executive and leadership use.

• The bundling strategy aims to expand Atlassian’s reach beyond IT, targeting roles like HR, strategy officers, and CFOs.

For project managers, Atlassian’s move signals a shift toward unified ecosystems that simplify tool management and reduce context-switching. By integrating project tracking, documentation, and async video into a single package—with AI enhancements built-in—teams can expect smoother collaboration, faster decision-making, and clearer visibility across projects.

How To Automate Weekly Team Reports with ChatGPT + Google Sheets + Slack

Managing weekly updates across a team can be tedious, especially when information is scattered. This tutorial shows project and product managers how to automate weekly progress summaries using Google Sheets, ChatGPT, Zapier, and Slack. With just a few tools, you can replace manual check-ins with a polished, AI-generated Slack report every Friday.

You’ll learn how to:

• Structure your Google Sheet so your team logs weekly updates in a consistent format (name, task, status, blockers, week).

• Set a weekly schedule trigger in Zapier to run the automation every Friday at a set time.

• Fetch matching rows from Google Sheets that correspond to the current week’s updates.

• Format the data into a readable text block using Zapier’s Formatter (so AI can process it clearly).

• Send the formatted text to ChatGPT via OpenAI’s API, asking it to summarize the key highlights, blockers, and team progress.

• Post the AI-generated summary in a Slack channel, where your team or stakeholders can quickly review it.

Why it matters:

This automation doesn’t just save time, it raises the quality of communication across your team. By turning raw updates into a professional, AI-powered summary, you eliminate manual reporting and improve team transparency. It’s a scalable system that grows with your projects, freeing you up to focus on high-leverage work.

New Figma Integration Gives AI Direct Access to Design Context

Figma is enhancing how AI coding tools turn designs into real applications with the launch of its new Dev Mode Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This tool gives large language models (LLMs) like GitHub Copilot and Claude direct access to raw design data, allowing them to generate more accurate and functional code from Figma projects.

• Figma’s MCP server gives AI models detailed, structured design data—beyond just visual references.

• The tool is in beta for users with Dev or Full seat access and aims to streamline design-to-code workflows.

• By reducing guesswork, MCP minimizes LLM usage and improves output accuracy for AI coding assistants.

• More MCP server updates are coming soon, including remote hosting and deeper integration with codebases.

• Figma’s broader AI toolset includes Figma Make and Sites Code Layers, enabling prompt-to-code and interactive site building.

This advancement marks a leap toward faster and more reliable design-to-development handoffs. By closing the gap between design intent and functional code, Figma’s MCP server can reduce development cycles, minimize miscommunication between teams, and increase overall project velocity—making it easier to deliver on time and on spec.
