Confluence Holiday Workshop: Product guide – How to use Confluence for project collaboration

[#1]

Season’s greetings, Community! 👋 The Confluence Holiday Workshop is drawing to a close, but we have one last gift 🎁 to make your spirits bright (and help your team collaborate better in the new year): a shiny new Product guide to master project collaboration with Confluence. ✨

Now more than ever, teamwork is essential for tackling any project. Information is shared instantaneously and the complexity of what we’re looking to solve is growing. Whether your team is fixing a bug, planning a campaign, launching a new product, or innovating for a brighter tomorrow, diverse viewpoints are essential to boost creativity, productivity, engagement, and communication.

However, project collaboration between teams comes with its own share of hurdles, especially when distributed. Documents get scattered and locked behind permissions. Without a clear roadmap or “North Star” goal, confusion and morale-draining status meetings are inevitable. Accurate, up-to-date, and accessible project plans are the antidote and ensure your team’s Confluence workspace clarifies your mission, spells out individual responsibilities, and provides visibility to every collaborator.

In this guide, we breakdown best practices to:

• Create an informative team homepage
• Build an easy-to-follow project plan
• Keep your project on track
• Loop in cross-functional stakeholders
• Assess, track, and celebrate success
  
  

📣 Help us spread the word by sharing the guide on social media! (And be sure to tag us @Confluence! 🙂)

Bonus: See if you can spot the Pro Tips provided by the Atlassian Community’s own @Teodora V _Fun Inc_ and @Harrison Tang plus Atlassians @Bridget Sauer, @John M, and @Sam Ugulava. 

Thank you to everyone who has brightened the season by joining us in the Confluence Holiday Workshop! On behalf of the Confluence team, wishing you all happy and healthy holidays and looking forward to another year of collaboration ahead. 💫

@Meg Bailey super excited to sink my teeth into some of this content over the coming days. It's a perfectly timed 'drop' with the EoY slow down providing me with more time to read, react and act. Can't wait to share discussions around this refreshed guide in the coming days and weeks!

@Meg Bailey thanks again! I really enjoyed the new layout and content, and have shared the guide around inside and outside the community multiple times! I am going re-purpose some of our internal Confluence how-to's and getting started content with content straight from the updated guide!
