Here's something most teams don't realize: even when everyone has access to the same AI tools, each person is using them differently - or not at all. One person's drafting emails with AI, another's using it for brainstorming, and someone else is quietly avoiding it because they're not sure what's "okay" to use it for.
That gap between individual experimentation and team-level clarity is exactly what we set out to close. We ran an experiment where teams sat down together for just 60 minutes to co-create AI working agreements - a shared understanding of the who, what, when, where, and why of using AI as a team.
Here's what happened:
82% said their team became more aligned on how to use AI after the exercise
75% discovered at least one new AI use case they hadn't thought of before
Teams reported feeling noticeably less anxious and more confident about AI when expectations were clearly defined
Whether you're heading into a new quarter, kicking off a planning cycle, or just looking for a way to reset how your team works together - this is a low-effort, high-impact ritual to add to the mix. The full breakdown, including the step-by-step process you can run with your own team, is here: How co-creating AI working agreements drives confidence and clarity - Inside Atlassian
