Where to store Task Lists

Question

We use Confluence and Jira.

When we have a meeting we keep the meetings notes in Confluence - and also the TODOS. Which is not optimal, because there is no proper way to track TODOs in Confluence.

Jira would be perfect for this, but is not the right place for meeting notes.

Best would be a mix of Confluence and Jira.

What is your solution for this problem?

Hi,

it all depends, if all your meeting participants can and do use Jira or not.

If everybody uses Jira, create JIra issues in an open ToDo project (One issue type ToDo, simple workflow Open->Done, read/writeable for everyone)

If you are split up having Jira & non JIra users (eg. external consultants etc.) you'll have to mix up Jira issues & Confluence tasks.

There is one app on the marketplace able to display Confluence tasks & Jira issues in one report (TaskOne). We use it for exactly this use-case.

If this works for you and you are happy with it, it sounds great :)

These "workarounds" have to work for those people, who have the "problem". I can't say yes, thats good for you :-)

From the technical view, this should work.

My approach would be to create one Confluence page plus one Jira Issue per meeting.

In Confluence I keep the meeting minutes and create a link to the Jira Issue.

Every time a TODO is identified I create a Sub Task in the linked Jira Issue.

How does that sound?
