## Resource

TEAM '26 was a whirlwind — and we're still buzzing from it. But before we move on to the next thing, we wanted to take a moment to shine a light on the people who helped make this season possible. This quarter, that means ikuTeam, and we couldn't be more grateful for the partnership. So what better way to say thank you than to hand them the mic? In this episode, we sit down with Nelson Pereira, co-founder and VP of Product at ikuTeam, for a wide-ranging conversation about how ikuTeam came to be, what they've built, and where they're headed. Whether you've been hearing about ikuTeam all season and want to finally understand what they actually do, or you're already a fan of their products, this one's worth a listen. Nelson walks us through the origin story of ikuTeam — the problem they set out to solve and how that vision has evolved over time. We dig into their current product lineup, what makes it tick for Jira users specifically, and the roadmap ahead. If you've ever wondered how a tool gets purpose-built for the way modern teams actually work inside Atlassian's ecosystem, Nelson has a lot of thoughtful things to say about that. It's a fun, honest conversation with someone who clearly loves what he's building — and we think you'll come away with a much clearer picture of why ikuTeam has been a natural fit for the Atlassian community. Give it a listen, and as always — thanks for being here!
