Atlassian's Rovo Dev CLI now includes Research Mode, a structured workflow that handles ambiguous developer questions by breaking them into research domains, assigning top-down or bottom-up search strategies per domain, and running parallel subagents across Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and code. Results from multiple rounds of investigation are synthesized into a final report with cited sources and actionable next steps like creating Jira tickets or Confluence pages. Over 84% of users who invoked Research Mode rated it as helpful. Key lessons include treating discovery as a first-class workflow, the importance of search direction, clear domain boundaries for subagents, and multi-round research for sequential questions.
