In an Atlassian survey, 25% reported gaining back 10 or more hours a week, down from 68% in 2025.\n\nThe tools are working at the keyboard. Atlassian said 87% of developers surveyed find AI helps them write and ship code faster. But 72% also reported the same or greater friction across the whole software development lifecycle, from planning through delivery. The biggest drags are human ones: 51% cited finding information and 50% cited meeting frequency.\n\n\"Faster code is not the same as better software delivered sooner,\" said Andrew Boyagi, Atlassian's customer CTO. His argument is that speeding up coding does little if teams still struggle to clarify requirements and move work through delivery.\n\nThat is an old pattern in any production line: speed up one stage and the queue forms at the next. The survey suggests AI has moved the bottleneck rather than removed it.\n\nStrategy looks like the missing piece, at least in Atlassian's telling. Only 17% of developers said their employer has a clearly communicated and implemented AI strategy. Where one exists, twice as many workers reported positive effects. Three in five developers said that simply using AI is treated as a positive metric, even though usage says nothing about outcomes.\n\nTwo cautions apply. Atlassian sells software for tracking work and sharing information, so a finding that points at those problems suits its pitch. And the drop from 68% to 25% could mean early estimates were inflated by novelty, or that expectations rose. The company's summary does not say which.\n\nThe usage metric may explain the gap. A manager who counts AI adoption sees a success story in the 87%. A manager who counts shipped, working software may be reading the 25%.","[\"ai\",\"developer-productivity\",\"atlassian\",\"software-development\"]","2026-10-21T17:05:00.000Z","2026-10-21T18:34:36.404Z","2026-10-21T18:34:38.660Z","published",null,[],"ai",[24,26,27,28],"developer-productivity","atlassian","software-development",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"TechRadar","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.techradar.com\u002Fpro\u002Ffaster-code-is-not-the-same-as-better-software-delivered-sooner-new-report-claims-ai-isnt-solving-productivity-across-the-entire-software-development-lifecycle-yet",0,{"sections":35},[36,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100],{"name":37,"slug":24,"count":38,"latest_published_at":39},"AI",7054,"2026-10-21T19:53:20.000Z",{"name":41,"slug":42,"count":43,"latest_published_at":44},"Security","security",1032,"2026-10-21T18:26:38.000Z",{"name":46,"slug":47,"count":48,"latest_published_at":49},"Policy","policy",561,"2026-10-21T19:02:49.000Z",{"name":51,"slug":52,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"Deals","deals",550,"2026-10-21T15:41:35.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Hardware","hardware",282,"2026-10-21T15:51:59.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",270,"2026-10-21T19:54:00.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Science","science",211,"2026-10-21T09:00:00.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Startups","startups",140,"2026-10-21T18:51:56.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Software","software",136,"2026-10-21T15:00:00.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",122,"2026-10-21T16:00:00.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"General","general",94,"2026-10-21T18:31:15.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"Gaming","gaming",85,"2026-10-21T18:39:52.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":97,"count":98,"latest_published_at":99},"Reviews","reviews",38,"2026-10-20T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":101,"slug":102,"count":103,"latest_published_at":104},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
