At Team 25 in Anaheim, I sat down with Gaurav Kataria, Head of Product for Trello at Atlassian, to unpack the biggest release in Trello’s history and what it means for millions who rely on this trusted tool.

In this live show floor conversation, Gaurav shares how Trello is evolving beyond its familiar Kanban board roots and becoming an AI-powered productivity companion designed for individuals. We explore why this strategic change matters in a world filled with endless emails, chat threads and scattered to-dos, and how the new features — like an intelligent inbox, a planning layer and deep integration with Slack, Gmail and personal calendars — help people stay focused and organised.

Gaurav explains how Trello’s latest updates are inspired by real user habits and thoughtful design, keeping simplicity at the heart of the experience. He also shares why Atlassian believes in building specialised tools that work together rather than trying to create one app that does it all.

This episode is packed with insights for anyone interested in the future of personal productivity, the role of AI as your digital assistant and how Trello plans to stay true to its easy and visual nature while adding smarter tools.

If you have ever moved a card from to-do to done and felt a sense of satisfaction, you will enjoy this conversation.

Live from Team '25 in Anaheim, this special episode of Conversations from the Showfloor features a one-on-one with Anu Bharadwaj, President of Atlassian. As teams continue to struggle with fragmented tools, scattered goals, and overwhelming noise, Atlassian is presenting a new way forward. A unified System of Work built for the complexity of modern collaboration.

Anu walks us through how this vision came to life, shaped by Atlassian’s experience leading a globally distributed, remote-first workforce of 13,000 employees across 13 countries. This isn't theory. It’s lived experience. From that foundation comes a modular approach to enterprise productivity, connecting people, tools, and information into one intelligent framework.

Making the Invisible Visible

The conversation dives deep into the newly introduced Teamwork Graph, a connected layer of more than 10 billion data objects. This isn't just about analytics. It’s about enabling what Anu calls digital serendipity, those unexpected, helpful connections between projects, ideas, and people that drive great work.

Alongside the data, Atlassian is introducing AI teammates like Rovo. These are not faceless bots that spit out tasks. They are contextual, customizable, and even come with a bit of personality. With over a million users already onboard, Rovo is a sign that teams are ready for collaboration that feels more natural and less mechanical.

Real Impact, Real Outcomes

What sets this conversation apart is the focus on outcomes. HarperCollins has reduced manual work by four times. Doodle.com has cut planning time by 93 percent. Thumbtack now resolves 15 percent of support tickets automatically. These are not prototypes or beta features. They are real-world results from companies applying the System of Work.

We also touch on Atlassian’s guiding philosophy. To bring joy back into team collaboration. The idea is not just to build faster tools, but to rebuild the work environment around clarity, connection, and purpose. That includes recreating the water cooler moments that remote work tends to erase, turning everyday work into something more fluid and human.

What Leaders Should Know

For technology leaders, this episode offers practical guidance. Start by strengthening your data layer. Think carefully about where AI can support, not replace, human decision-making. And above all, make sure your teams are part of the journey. As Anu shares, lasting change starts when people feel seen, connected, and empowered.

The System of Work is not just another product announcement. It is a framework for envisioning the future of work. For real people, in real businesses, under real pressure.

Whether you’re leading a global enterprise or a fast-moving startup, this conversation offers fresh thinking on how to fix what’s broken in workplace collaboration and how to build something better.

In this episode of Conversations from the Show Floor, recorded live at IGEL’s Now & Next Summit in Miami, I sit down with Scott Manchester, Vice President of Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop at Microsoft.

Scott describes himself as a leader with his head in the clouds and his feet firmly planted in enterprise IT. That mindset shapes this practical, insightful conversation about how Microsoft and IGEL are working together to modernize endpoint computing.

We explore:

• Why the browser is now the digital workspace
• How Cloud PCs simplify endpoint management at scale
• What Windows 365 means for Windows 11 migrations
• Why IGEL’s thin clients and Linux-based OS are key for security and efficiency
• How industries like healthcare, finance, and government are moving to cloud workspaces

Scott shares the story behind building Windows 365 during the early days of remote work and explains how Microsoft is rethinking virtualization to deliver personal, secure, and flexible user experiences. From license sharing for shift workers to streamlining hybrid deployments, this is not about buzzwords—it’s about real change that IT leaders can act on.

Whether you’re navigating a Windows 11 upgrade or planning your cloud desktop strategy, this episode offers a front-row view of where endpoint computing is headed and why IGEL remains a key partner in that journey.
