Best Atlassian product to use for creating and sharing program status reports and dashboards?

[Levi Boehrig]

Hello,

With all of the various Atlassian products I wanted to get feedback from the community as to which product they have found to be the most robust, clear, easy to share, and navigate when it comes to external facing Program Status Reports (think external partners and customers).  I have found Confluence, Atlas, JIRA Software and JIRA Work management to all have somewhat overlapping ability to do this, but nothing really definitively sticking out as a clear winner.

Thanks in advance!

As per my opinion and experience, and as per the fact that Atlassian products integrate seamlessly to provide better features/functionalities and information, a combination of Jira Software, Advance Planning (previously, Advanced Roadmaps) and Confluence works best for creating and sharing these reports and dashboards.

In previous years, I saw some of these use cases where Jira reports had to be shared with external stakeholders or management.

A viable alternative way that worked in these cases is creating custom, professional PDF reports, and documents and sharing those either manually or automatically. I wrote about these cases in 3 blogs that I recommend for you:

1. This article focuses on how to create PDF documents with attachments included
2. This tutorial is about Jira dashboard exporting
3. This success story tells how a team automated the delivery of Jira reports to management

I know some of these blogs mention Data Center and you are on Cloud, but everything is feasible on Cloud as well, with one caveat. Atlassian doesn't allow extensions for Automation for Jira, so we are currently working on the cloud version of Better PDF Automation.

So if what you have read about generating custom PDF reports would fit your use case, give Better PDF Exporter a try for free! If you are also interested in automatically distributing the PDF reports, join our beta program for Better PDF Automation for Jira Cloud by sending me an email at levente.szabo@midori-global.com
