The options shown in the video are:

• Plan in Confluence using a static table.

  • Simply paste Jira issue URLs into the table to show real-time status.

• Use the “Roadmap Planning” Confluence macro to create a manually updated roadmap.

• Embed information from other applications in Confluence pages.

In this example page, there’s an embedded list of Jira issues, a Jira roadmap macro, and a Trello board.

If you have Jira Software premium or Data Center, you can also embed the “Advanced Roadmaps for Jira Plan” macro.

There are many planning options so use the technology that you’re most comfortable with and gives you the best results.
