Andrew Boyagi just completed a multi time zone, multi country, multi week development project with no meetings. Not one. No kick off meetings, no status meetings, zero. And no one even notices until it was pointed out after the fact.

Sure, Andrew still kicked off the project. Of course everyone kept informed. Yes, objectives and priorities were aligned and corrected over time. But without meetings. Just messages, posting, videos, and perhaps a call, using Loom, Confluence, and Slack.

As Atlassian’s Global Head of DevOps Evangelism, Andrew’s all about experience to drive better software, faster. He’s constantly thinking about removing friction, innovative use of tools and processes, and focusing on the high leverage activities that deliver. Andrew’s mission is to eliminate friction, toil, and distractions so people can focus on delivering the best work of their lives.

I had a chance to sit down with Andrew in Anaheim at Atlassian Team ‘25 and dig into the latest findings from Atlassian’s ‘System of Work.’ Andrew’s also an advocate of leveraging AI to help increase developer productivity, but perhaps not in the ways you might expect.

Please join me in welcoming Andrew to the Work 20XX podcast

Thank you Andrew

Editor's Note: Recorded 2025-Apr-09, Anaheim Convention Center. My first solo onsite recording with some new gear. The audio is not great, but the content is well worth the effort. Missing my rock star production team.

Special shout out to Rob Castaneda and Team ServiceRocket for sharing their booth to enable this recording.
