Abstractly speaking my Department's job is to fill some forms which are prepared in Excel with dropboxes and textboxes.
One of my superior colleagues suggested to put our workload and daily work performance into an issue so that means we configure an issue exactly like a form which we pass on and assign to colleagues. Additionally we do powerpoint Presentations and he wants to insert them as well or at least diagrams. This Part im really not sure it is possible and how.
I feel like it is a bad idea since jira is not a database so is excel but i am afraid that the amount of issues will be too much and you will lose the data inside an issue over time.
Right now we are working on external Software like excel and Powerpoint and i know you can insert them into jira but jira in general has no idea about the Progress in the excel itself or can make reports on how long it took to do the work since its coming from excel.
Can someone give me an opinion and an alternative solution - is confluence possible?
I have not seen an integration from excel or powerpoint to confluence and im not sure wether or not you can display complex diagrams on confluence and track its status and progesss and jira.
I hope someone understands my situation and can give me a helpful opinion.
Best Regards
