Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently using it for all project internal scrum meetings to take notes, action items etc. It has been a great collaboration tool to keep everything centralized and assign tasks to members of the team. Also really like how easy it is to go back and view previous notes from earlier meetings.

Alternatives Considered

Hugo

We used to use Hugo because it was free, and it is very similar in a lot of ways. Great for collaboration and sharing with team members, but Confluence is a bit easier to keep track of notes going back to the beginning of a project by creating a space.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great for project teams in software development. Especially when there are members of the team that are already very familiar with Jira. However, when you throw in someone from an outside team there is a bit of a learning curve. But has been great for onboarding new employees to a project if they weren't there at the beginning because it lists everything in an organized fashion.

Confluence has helped our project teams get organized and onboard faster than ever before!!
