AI tools are enabling software developers to save significant time, with 68% reporting at least 10 hours of work saved weekly. This marks an improvement from just 46% last year. The additional time is being utilized to enhance code quality and develop new features. However, there is an unexpected paradox as 50% of developers still lose over 10 hours weekly due to organizational inefficiencies, which include poor communication, lack of clear project direction, and challenges in accessing necessary information.
More than two-thirds (68%) of developers told Atlassian they're saving at least 10 hours per week using AI tools, which marks a significant increase compared to last year when just 46% of devs reported productivity gains.
Developers are using spare time to focus on improving code quality or building new features, but pressure is mounting in other areas of their working week.
Despite the increased use of AI, overall productivity isn't keeping pace, with 50% of developers saying they still lose over 10 hours a week due to organizational inefficiencies.
Common issues include poor communication and collaboration between teams, a lack of clear direction on projects, and difficulty finding information, which emerged as the leading cause of wasted time.
