Endless chat histories, confusing documents and feedback spread across several continents and time zones? Real collaboration in globally distributed teams often feels like a mission impossible.

Let's be honest:

  • How often do projects stall because a status update is missing?
  • Are your meetings becoming more instead of less?
  • Are you constantly copying information from one tool to the next just to keep track?

That's crazy, isn't it?

You are not alone. According to the Microsoft Work Trend Index of 2023, 42% of remote teams say they spend too much time searching for the right information.

Why is this happening? Because even smart teams come up against the same obstacles:

  • Separate workflows: Tasks here, docs there, videos somewhere else.
  • Communication gaps:Important info buried in emails or forgotten in calls.
  • Double work: The same content popping up across tools and constant "clarifying" meetings

These frictional losses not only cost time and nerves, but also money.

The real cost of poor collaboration

According to a Atlassian study from 2024 employees lose over 40 working hours a year just trying to make sense of unclear communication. Written communication, in particular, such as emails, harbors a high risk of misunderstandings. That’s an entire workweek gone.

The consequences in detail:

  • Wasted hours:Double onboarding, endless syncing.
  • Communication breakdowns:Lost feedback, delays, errors
  • Missed opportunities:Good ideas drown in tool chaos
  • Hidden costs:Every unnecessary meeting = money down the drain.

Remote teams also struggle with delayed feedback due to different time zones, too many video calls and with tool proliferationwhich results in a loss of focus, a change of context and therefore errors.

But the good news is that there is another way.

According to McKinsey, teams with strong collaboration perform up to 30 % better - simply by breaking down silos.

Atlassian Teamwork Collection

With Atlassian Teamwork Collection, highly collaborative teams benefit from the seamless integration of Jira, Confluence, Loom and the new Rovo Agents. This is how you achieve:

  • Agile workflowsthat really flow into one another
  • Clearly structured, searchable documentation
  • Asynchronous & efficient communication with videowhere the human context is not lost (especially important in connection with complex topics)
  • AI-supported assistance through Rovo Agents, who perform repetitive tasks and provide valuable insights

End-to-end workflows: This is what real integration looks like

These tools are not simply linked, they work together seamlessly.

The procedure: Jira for tasks and sprints; Confluence for documentation; Loom for context-rich updates and feedback; Rovo Agents for intelligent automation and summaries.

This is how it works in practice:

  1. Start a work item in Jira
  2. Linked Confluence page is created automatically
  3. Record a Loom video directly from the integrated app, e.g. with feedback, update or a mini-demo
  4. The video is embedded in Confluence and linked directly to Jira
  5. Rovo Agent analyzes the video content, creates a summary with task lists and suggests next steps

Results: No version conflicts, no long searches for feedback.

How remote teams use their working time more efficiently

No more ping-pong project management

This is how an efficient sprint start works:

  • Create tasks in Jira - clearly structured, transparent for everyone.
  • Create linked Confluence pages - for specs, context and documentation.
  • Record Loom video - e.g. briefly explain sprint targets or product ideas.
  • Rovo Agent automatically generates to-dos - directly from the video.

Practical example:
The PO records the sprint goals as a Loom video, embeds it in the sprint page in Confluence and links everything to Jira. Rovo analyzes the video, automatically creates a task list - and the whole team knows what needs to be done. No queries, no chaos.

Documentation without frustration

Documentaries can also be fun - with video and AI.

  • Confluence as a central knowledge base - instead of scattered information.
  • Embed Loom videos directly into pages - Explain processes, give feedback, show use cases.
  • Cut transcript instead of video - Simply adjust the text in the Loom transcript and the video will update automatically.
  • Rovo Agent creates summaries - incl. highlights, action items and plain text.

Practical example:
An error creeps into a demo? No problem - simply edit the transcript and Loom will re-render the video. Rovo provides a summary of the changes directly.

Communication & feedback - asynchronous

Meetings are not always necessary. This is how async collaboration works:

  • Record status update via Loom - directly from the tool, spontaneous and human.
  • Embed in Confluence/Jira - All updates are centralized and traceable.
  • Team watches & comments when it suits - No deadline stress, no calendar tetris.
  • Rovo recognizes open questions - and automatically assigns them to the right people.

This means that nothing falls by the wayside - and everyone is up to date, even without a meeting marathon.

Record your looms and integrate them directly into the tool where you and your team document and track the work.

Automated summaries

  • Record Loom video → with one click it becomes a Confluence page
  • Rovo Agent automatically creates a structured summary with action items

Use Case: The CTO records a project update as a Loom. Rovo transcribes, summarizes and distributes it automatically - worldwide. A Confluence page with structured information is created with a single click. Efficiency that scales.

Game-changing features of the Teamwork Collection at a glance

  • Embed Loom directly - in Confluence, Pages & Blogs
  • Edit video via transcript - without new admission
  • One-click documentary from Loom videos
  • Watch indicators - you can immediately see who has already seen it
  • Rovo Agents - AI-powered support for summaries, task management and more

A real productivity upgrade with no extra effort.

The result: Save 40% overhead, get twice as much done

What's the real benefit?

  • 40% less overhead through better collaboration
  • 2× faster onboarding & project starts
  • More focus through fewer meetings

And the ROI?
