'Faster code is not the same as better software delivered sooner': New report claims AI isn't solving productivity across the entire software development lifecycle - yet
- Atlassian report claims the number of developers saving significant time through AI is actually dropping
- Finding information and participating in meetings are major human bottlenecks
- More then four in five organizations still don't have a clear AI strategy
Nearly nine in 10 (87%) developers surveyed by Atlassian now sayAI is helping them to write and ship code faster, but despite offering significant speed improvements across certain parts of the workflow, three in four (72%) also report either the same or greater friction across the entire lifecycle.
Longer-term optimism around AI's ability to save time is also dropping, with just 25% of developers saving 10+ hours a week when using AI, compared with 68% in 2025.
Ultimately, Atlassian's findings point toward AI simply shifting the bottleneck further downstream rather than tackling time constraints altogether.
Is AI actually helping developers?
The data shows that faster code generation isn't translating into faster software...
