Confluence
What Information Should You Store?
Confluence is used to store project information such as:
- Big picture timelines
- Personnel lists
- Summary of Jira issues (via a macro – not manually entered)
- Application spec
- Meeting notes
- etc
Confluence is quite flexible in that you can add new pages and sections as you see fit.
Take care of project permissions!
Confluence Space Template
Various Confluence project templates are available to help you organize your project.
You can also create your own template to be reused within your organization.
At B&R, our default template includes the pages shown below:
| Template Page | Description |
|---|---|
| Organizational | Contains buttons for easily creating meeting notes. Contains summary lists of all open Jira issues and Confluence tasks. |
| Requirements | Allows you to input the project specification as individual requirement pages |
| Application | For storing a .zip copy of the project (optional – should use source control instead) |
| Project controlling | For defining big-picture deadlines |
| About | For listing out the relevant personnel at the customer and at B&R |
| Userlist | Lists out all people who have access to the Confluence space |
