As companies expand, using a combination of resources to handle responsibilities, assignments, and records becomes increasingly crucial. Two particularly beneficial resources for this purpose are Jira and Confluence. Jira, a project management solution, enables teams to effectively strategize, monitor, and oversee agile software development projects. In contrast, Confluence is a collaborative wiki platform that facilitates efficient teamwork and information sharing.
Many organizations utilize both Jira and Confluence in their project management and documentation. However, the real game-changer is the ability to link Confluence pages to JIRA issues. This tutorial will guide you on how to do so.
