What is Confluence Jira?

In this post you will learn about confluence Jira and what is the purpose of confluence and where we used confluence. Confluence is our content collaboration tool used to help teams to collaborate and share knowledge efficiently. With Confluence, your users can create pages and blogs which can be commented on and edited by all members of the team. 

For example, you will be able to create a roadmap easily, create notes containing checklist, create a knowledge base and centralize everything in one place. 

You can also attach files, like your excel planning and display it on a page for more convenience. 

Confluence has also been designed to integrate with Jira and they have many integration points, giving Confluence users the ability to view, interact with, and reference Jira issues from a wiki page. 

How do Confluence and JIRA interact with each other?

Confluence and JIRA were designed to compliment each other, and have a number of integration points built-in, giving Confluence users the ability to view, interact with, and reference JIRA issues from a wiki page. This is especially useful in the case where Confluence is being used for project collaboration, requirements gathering, and team meeting notes - involved parties can participate in project discussion, while viewing JIRA issues, or creating new ones without leaving Confluence. To put this in the context of a product-focused team, ideation, product discussion, and requirements authoring are documented on a Confluence page.
