Atlassian - Beyond JIRA: Project Reporting and Documentation
"It's in the wiki"
Confluence is an enterprise wiki that gives you a platform for communication about projects and tasks. In conjunction with JIRA and Bamboo, Confluence informs your team or others externally on your goals, tasks, progress, and results.
Confluence makes it easy for your team to collaborate and share knowledge of JIRA roadmaps, workflow, and tasks, or Bamboo build success, or to document your work. Confluence can display reports on:
- Open versus closed issues
- Number of builds and build success
- Documentation of process and software features
Tie tasks to documentation
Your product manager can create ideas in Confluence, and the engineers can then create tasks in JIRA.
- Tie tasks in JIRA to related documentation in Confluence
- Link JIRA's roadmap to longer descriptions in Confluence
- Link from goals in Confluence to the tasks that were created
Put dynamic JIRA project information in Confluence
Using the JIRA Portlet Macro, a JIRA dashboard portlet can be inserted into Confluence. You can display a resolution time report or pie chart report dynamically and automatically for users.
- Display monthly software reports automatically
- Build ticket lists for easy access by software managers
- Show results of any JIRA search within a Confluence page
Confluence works with JIRA to respect your security settings for issues, so you can rest assured that only users with the right permissions will be able to see this information.
Show Bamboo stats in Confluence
Display build charts and trends inside of Confluence so non-Bamboo users can see the action.
- Show a chart showing build result for your project in Confluence
- Show a list of all your builds in Confluence - users can jump to any build, plan or project for full Bamboo information
- The Bamboo Plugin for Confluence (now available in beta) lets you view build information from within a Confluence page
